Do you have tweakscale installed?

Moving parts on EVA now requires KIS.

Looks awesome. Going to give it a try tonight.

That is a stock ksp bug.

Refueling a plane is more complex than a car (mostly), and that is my point. The majority of pilots barely even know where the fuel goes in. I know this because refueling aircraft has been my job for about 10 years along with fixing said aircraft. (Note: The above is mostly hyperbole.) What you said is true, it isn't a pilots job to refuel his aircraft or ship. The reason for this is there are safety concerns and procedures that must be followed. I have been doing this a long time and I still have to look them up on occasion. To better express my statement, it is in no way ridiculous to require an engineer to build a transfer pump out of spare parts ( no pre-existing facilities). Now if pilots can not even link the two end points together then that is a bit on the absurd side.

Most pilots don't refuel their own planes either. And that I do know is reality. Also, what you are talking about doing is closer to building a refueling site.

These are amazing! I would love to see a ch-47 Chinook.

Why is it ridiculous? Most pilots don't have the knowledge to repair a plane much less assemble anything on site.

KAS has since been updated to work with KIS. No key remapping required. I haven't noticed any conflicts as of yet.

Did you try using the "R" key to change the attach point.

Thanks for the tips. I'll be fixing it sometime today hopefully. I not sure what to do about the intakes without ruining the look of the craft. Depends on how you feel about clipped intakes.

Hmmm... It had countermeasures last I looked at it. I believe they were on the wings. And the ladder should be tied to the gear action group so it retracts and extends with the gear. I will have a look at the engine and intakes for ways to improve performance. Moving the wheels back causes a longer takeoff roll. Looking forward to the next competition it is quite fun. If you ever have need of an ultra fast interceptor, have a look at the original f-2 talon. It can do Mach 2 at 100m. (Yes that is supposed to be 100m)

You only need one engineer to do the attaching. If the part is too heavy for one kerbal to move you can use any other Kerbals to help.

The radial one has the eject function. It may need to be manned and also make sure it is fully retracted and locked.

Are you using the inline winch or the radial one?

The KAS winches still work for pulling up hill, it's just really slow; like 4 or 5 m/s slow.

Pilots are unable to move things anyway, with or without a tool. You need an engineer to move parts around.

No that is KAS.

The MKS Expando-Tubes use the claw code from the stock claw. This is why it clips through some parts. Using it you can "dock" with any part, it doesn't have to be a docking port. Also, always make sure the expando tube is on the active vessel and let it finish its animation cycle before attempting to dock with it. Otherwise, it could cause some nasty surprises.

Because that functionality is still part of KAS.

Do you have KIS v1.1.4 installed?

Here is my entry. http://kerbalx.com/ExplorerKlatt/F-2B-Talon It meets all the requirements and is actually all stock parts except the BDA weapons. Without the drop tanks I have had this plane doing Mach 2 at sea level. The drop tanks use Stock Fuel Switch. With it installed, the drop tanks will double the fuel load. Without it, just remember to take the oxidizer out.

Technically, if the two fuels are the same density, shouldn't you add the amounts together instead of doubling each one? For example, using the tank in the picture, the tank holds 180 LF and 220 Ox. Switching it to only LF would be like filling the Ox section with LF. So the tank would have a total of 400 Liquid Fuel. The same would be true of the Oxidizer.

Use a site like dropbox, then post a link here.

The drill sound was from it being detached. You need to hold the "X" key to reattach it. Also, here is the MM config I wrote for the sensors: download
