Hi,

Can somebody tell me how to place the 3.75m fairing cone third right?

Becuase i cant fix it.

thank you.

Add

Scale Factor=1 to the .cfg, the attach nodes are borked for 2.4

How to do that ? wich cfg file?

English, please people. I believe what Darth is hinting at is that you need to look in the parts files for the KW Rocketry pack that you installed, find the specific folder that contains the 3.75m fairing, then open its "part.cfg" file in something like Notepad (or equivalent Linux text editor). I'm not sure exactly what the part is called, but generally they are named similar to their in-game function. In that file, add a new line that says:

rescaleFactor = 1

Save the file, then restart KSP. Check to see if the fairing now fits properly. I'm not a modder, so I'm not sure if the "rescaleFactor" value is the correct one, but what I read seems to point in that direction.

I'm confused... they work fine for me (although you do have to rotate the cone third to get it to replicate properly). You basically hit Q once and then shift-Q six times to align it to the next attachment point. Make sure you have the symmetry set to 3x and bob's your uncle. No having to do any editing.

Here is an example of building the fairing...

Certainly possible. I was just attempting to translate the conversation. I use KW, but I don't think I've had to use fairings that big yet!

I do enjoy these monster fairings...

I run FAR, so the fairings get a great deal of use and I think they look incredible (I used them even before running FAR). I've found, however, that anything I launch that's big enough to require the 3.75m fairings is already fairly aerodynamic (due to command module or something similar). Fuel tanks on top of rockets can just have an aero cone attached. I'm sure the time will come someday though - possibly soon as I'm getting into kethane mining...

What alt said.

minus the FAR.
