Firespitter propeller plane and helicopter parts v7.1 (May 5th) for KSP 1.0

[rabidninjawombat]

Need a lot more specificity. Mod works perfectly fine and does not eat Kerbin, odds are something else is going down.

Do you have access to the original model? You're going to need the object names from the model.

Thanks! I was actually able to import the model to blender (using the KSP mu plugin) and it looks like i have the object name =)

EDIT: So i have the object name, then i read this in the Wiki:

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][B]WARNING: If the part name has an underscore in it, KSP translates this to a period. This will trick this module into not finding the part and its textures. Drop the underscore in part name (in folder names it’s OK).[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]

the object name does indeed have a underscore in it. it looks like this "Fuel_Tank" Ive tried writing it in the config as FuelTank or Fuel Tank. Neither get the module to work.

I already did this for another part (which does not have an underscore in the objectname) and it works fine, which leads me to belive this may be what im doing wrong.

Sorry to be a bother Any ideas ?

I'm having problems with either FSfuelSwitch or ModuleManager, if anybody knows enough to help, please consider helping

I'm having the same problem as korogg and I have seen another reference to the issue in the modded support section. I build a craft, go to launch it and the screen goes black except for the hud immediately after loading physics.

@Darkwave - something orthagonal as I have zero issues with this mod. Did you try on a fresh install of KSP 1.0.2 with no other mods?

Many of the textures, especially for oblong parts, have their textures darkened significantly on one side, at least in the SPH. It may be a result of Active Texture Management. I have rotated the parts to check if it was real shadow, but it proved my view correct that the texture is shaded oddly on one side.

I am having a problem with the new mod, whenever i try to load up a plane, it just explodes right on the runway. Don't understand why but when the physics load on the runway, it gets like a short skip and then just flies in the air completely discombobulated. Love this mod and I just really want help fixing this.

[RoverDude]

Some of the control surfaces are a bit wonky right now - engines have been patched as has the core DLL, but still some bits need work.

Having this problem as well. Not with the Biplane (it's fine!) but the Bomber just explodes.

Right now I have no mods except Firespitter.

See one post above yours

Kraken LOVES FireSpitter wings and winglets for some reason. Don't use them in your craft and everything will be fine.

FSoblongMultiTank is under the 'start' tech node. The node 'aerodynamicSystems' is commented out right after it.

It looks like someone forgot to UNDO that override after testing as this tank clearly doesn't go in 'start'.

[RoverDude]

heh, thanks will take a peek

Is there any way for this to be fixed though?

[RoverDude]

Sure, time. Probably Sjno's time as I am not familiar with those modules.

[RoverDude]

Just a heads up - we have our CoL marker back on about half the wings, and the fighter landing gear is fixed. Moving onto seeing if I can get more wings sorted

[V8jester]

Hey, is anyone else having issues with the helicopter rotor? When editing the rotor you can only open the tweakable menu once. Once open it will stay open until you click on and move the rotor. After the rotor has been moved the tweakable menue will no longer open unless you trash the rotor and place a new one. Also the rotor will flash green after it has been edited by the tweakable menu.

Were any of the changes from version 7.1.1 to 7.1.3 in the part .cfg files? The reason I ask is because I made some personal changes to some of the part .cfg files and I don't want to have to manually sort all of that out again.

[RoverDude]

Yes, most of them

[Sarxis]

Ok thank you!

[badboyz31]

Very nice Roverdude, thanks for the fixes and update

[Hellbrand]

do we have non kraken infested wings yet?

[RoverDude]

Indeed - 7.1.3 is up

[volcanicshrimp]

When I launch a craft which uses battery multi tanks they have 100 units of liquid fuel in them as well as electricity. This fuel is not shown in the editor or anything it just appears when the craft is launched. Is this normal?

[aidanbossman]

i can't get the firespitter plugin to work in 1.0.2, how do i get it to work?

[RoverDude]

Less vagueness helps. Which version are you using, what issue are you having?
