Control point for inline MK2 clampotron in wrong place

[number2301]

In 1.12 the control point for the MK2 inline clampotron has been moved making the part almost useless. Instead of it being placed so that you can dock, it appears to be on the rear door of the part. 

Is this due to be fixed or can it be done with manual config file editing?

It’s a known bug, hopefully will be fixed in 1.12.2

I still had a version-1.11 installation so I copied the Squad/Parts/Utility/mk2DockingPort/model.mu into the corresponding place in the 1.12 directory structure, deleted the mk2DockingPort.mu from 1.12, and that brought back the correct control-point orientation. Probably during the artistic revision, there was some mistake in keeping the needed reference points for the docking.

Copying the model only gives a grey part, so copying also the mk2DockingPort.dds restores the old textures, and copying mk2DockingPort.cfg to overwrite the 1.12 version might be a good idea.
