I've looked at the config files for 3 versions  where I found download links in this thread and Col. Neville's version (#4) is based off the oldest release here. The newest one you link to in the other post (which is the one I thought I'd linked to, oops) looks most like a current Squad LT-2 landing leg.

Idk ... these are the ones I have archived:

I'm not looking at dates, I'm looking at the file contents. The 1.5.1 Col.R.Neville config file looks most like it was based on the most archaic version of the leg I found. I just saw another that is probably closest to the current version of a squad landing leg. But it also claimed to have issues.

@Stone Blue Try this. I tweaked the Feb 2017 setup with some of the stuff from @Burning Kan Tested in 1.6.1. I can drop a a craft from 9m up on the Kerbin launchpad and the legs work better than the heaviest stock legs. At 10m I explode the launchpad on touchdown. All fields that seem relevant in a stock Squad leg are present.

Download for 1.6.1 

Edit to Add (10/25/2020):

I've used this without problems in all version from 1.6.1 through 1.10.1

Skip to about 1:20 for the actual touchdown.

what about the IVA addon?

[jeancallisti]

Conflict warning  : I've been using the VR mod and "through the eyes of a kerbal" mod combined, and after you click on "enable VR" the zooming in and out using the mouse wheel doesn't work anymore in IVA. You need to go back to the space center and to your ship again, then the zoom in/zoom out starts working again.

Question: How do you warp time in IVA in ALCOR without the keyboard, and only the pod's props? There are many small alarm props inside the pod, but all these seems to be only for displaying information. I have also installed Kerbal Alarm Clock, but is it possible to use it inside the ALCOR pod just by clicking around?

How do you actually warp time without using the keyboard, and only the pod's props?

 

EDIT : before someone says "just push the keyboard key", that's because I'm playing IVA in VR so I can't see the keyboard.

I do not think that there is any method to initiate warp using just the props available in the IVA.   I always flew IVA using an Xbox controller, so I mapped a couple of buttons to accelerate and decelerate time.  Would you mind offering guidance on how to get setup in VR.   I have an Oculus Rift and have never tried to play KSP.

I've ended up doing the same, except with a joystick : Even with the VR headset on, you can sense the buttons and remember which button does what.

What they should do is add a third button on the little grey alarm meshes everywhere in the cockpit, and make that button warp to the alarm time when Kerba Alarm is installed.

@alexustas did you ever create a dedicated lander stage for Alcor

[lerond]

Are all listed required mods still required? Because most of them are made for older versions.

There are no requirements for the pod itself, only for the advanced IVA. The newest versions of the required mods should work in 1.7.3.

rastorprop mod and with just using this mod make your external camera dissapear from vab menu to put on. 1.8 ksp

@john1978 try the Module Manager patch fix in this post:

https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/105821-16x-rasterpropmonitor-development-stopped-v0306-29-december-2018/&do=findComment&comment=3598123

EDIT: nevermind... I just realised you're asking about the ALCOR camera part, *not* the JSI inline one in RPM
sorry.

Looks like the no bulkhead profile bug might be the issue.
1) Open a text editor of your choice
2) Copy paste the text in the box below
3) Save the file with extension .cfg, using any name you want  (can put it in /GameData, or in *any* /GameData/<subdirectory>/ that you want)
 

@PART[ExtCamRadialVErt]:HAS[!bulkheadProfiles[]]:FINAL
{
	bulkheadProfiles = srf
}

Thank you.

@john1978 Actually, that patch will add surface attachment to *every* part in KSP, if it is not already. Thats probably not a good idea.

I just edited the text in my post, to reflect ONLY the ExtCam part... Probably best to use the new version.

Well, I wasn't able to just drag it and all of the dependancies from my 1.7.x install over to my 1.8.x test install and have it work like I have for several previous 1.N.x updates, so, yeah, I think there probably is something not working.

I go into its IVA and none of the switches or labels seem to even be there.

[Stone Blue]

@pquade If you havent tried already, copy over *only* the stuff in the /ASET/ folder... Then do fresh install of the dependencies: v4.1.2 of Module Manager, and on the last page or two of the RPM thread, user Tegmil has a v0.30.7 RPM recompile for 1.8.1

Of course, you also want to make sure any of the listed recommended mods for ALCOR, are also updated or have stated 1.8.1 compatability.

Give that a try.
