Hi,
I'm having issues trying to get the Root setting to work instead of Standard. Can I check that I have things right?
Firstly, this is what I've done:
I've gone into Kerbal Space Program\GameData\RemoteTech\RemoteTech_Settings.cfg, opened it in Wordpad, and edited some lines as follows:
RangeMultiplier = 0.5
---some other stuff---
RangeModelType = Root
MultipleAntennaMultiplier = 0.5
...and then saved it. It doesn't seem to have the desired effect. Weirdly, every now and then it seems to lose all the settings and revert to the defaults. I can't find the pattern in when this happens - it seems to be while playing the game (rather than on first loading), and it doesn't happen every time - only occasionally.
Secondly, maybe it is working properly (losing settings notwithstanding), and I just have my maths wrong? I'm trying to get a DP-10 on an unmanned space plane to connect to my comms satelites (which have KR14s pointed at Active Vessel as well as Communotron 32s) in KSO. I've also tried using multiple DP-10s to see if the MultipleAntennaMultiplier is working, with no luck. This should work with the settings above, right? I'd really like to be able to use the DP-10 and not have to stick an ugly satellite dish on my plane!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
