Hi :-) quick question... Back giving Kerbal a run... been 2 years, but need to scratch the BDB itch. I've got my first MOL up using a Titan launch system and really trying to stick to not kit-bashing too much... One issue I've having is that I have two labs attached together using the Heavy Docking ports. For some reason I cannot transfer crew between the modules ? I'm using CLS btw. Is that a known issue ? Am I doing something wrong ? Shows the module as blocked or impassable ?

Hi Kobymaru - I actually got the button randomly to appear 2 days ago within the blizzy toolbar settings menu. - I've been having mod buttons randomly appear and disappear in my play sessions since 1.8. No idea why. It seems trajectories was one of these. Once I ticked it in the blizzy toolbar... it's been available ever since. Still losing the CLS button every couple of sessions though, obviously not one for here. Thanks anyway - working great as advertised now.

Fantastic - one of my favourite mods. Quick feature request: I have a large vessel with over 200 berths, it's a little tricky to manage the crew roster at times. I use Crew transfer a lot to move crew around various modules. However it can be a laborious process, as it's not possible to tell on the transfer window what each Kerbal specialises in. E.g. Engineer, Biologist, Pilot, etc... Would it be possible to add the profession to the interface ? Thanks - and appreciate you may not be making changes, but thanks anyway for maintaining it. Regards, SJ

@Aelfhe1m thanks VERY much for the comprehensive answer. :-)

No I don't have that mod and can't see it on CKAN either. Is there a standard Squad (vanilla) Light I can simply use ? Cheers Actually according to the mission brief, it seems I have SOME lights already on the station, just not 24. Am I miss-understanding the requirement? Is "module = Light" mean that it's a component with Lights... e.g. a capsule or docking port ? Sorry I know it's probably a dumb question

Hi thanks for the update, working well in 1.81. However, is there a hot-key to bring the interface / GUI up ? I do get it flash up momentarily when loading focus onto a ship in space, but then it goes before I can interact with it. There also doesn't seem to be any buttons on the menu (official or otherwise) ? BTW - Mod is working find for landings on Kerbin, but would be good if I could understand the settings or adjust things if needed. Anyone able to advise ? Cheers SJ

Hi, I'm almost finished with my space hotel / casino. Can anyone tell me what the LIGHTS are I'm supposed to add. "With Module: Light" I'm struggling to find them ? Cheers for any advice SJ

I'm running 1.8.1 with Trajectories 2.2.3 - with the 18.bin copied into the plugins folder. I'm not seeing any Main UI button on the main menu nor any red trajectories over planets? Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong. ? SJ

I have another funny one. I am using a hydraulic Telescopic Piston 3PT and trying to re-attach a Jr Docking port to the end of it, to assist with lugging around objects on Mun. This was quite effective previously. But now I cannot re-attach the docking port as it says there is no Surface attach Note. Previously you could attach "H" or even better Press "R" and then "H" to get the docking port centred and correctly locked to the end of the piston. No idea what has changed (apart from the 1.7.3. to 1.8 obviously) Cheers for any pointers SJ EDITED TO ADD: finally got a surface attach option, but when the piston is activated or retracted the docking port does not follow the piston as it used to. It just stays suspended in mid air.... frustrating :-)

I too had issues with comms, but it turns out its a call to Remotetech - see here.. Even if you don't have remotetech. but DO have research bodies.... Anyway It solved it for me. Hope that helps

Brilliant, just commented out the filename, so will try again now.. Very much appreciated chaps YEP THAT'S SORTED THE BD ONE AND THE RN ONES !!! Wierd as I am running the exact same mod setup... maybe the load order is different? Anyway all solved :-)

Zorg, Superstar ! Do I delete that entire CFG file or just the FOR statement inside ?

Hi Cobalt, thanks for looking into this and I appreciate it's a right pain in the proverbial to sift through these files. I've followed the advice and attached the player.log file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bQrpYlkRqgbuLIg2IckdRRFt_SHE4fYL and a save here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NOuwxn-LzWybVB33GJvaMnd5T5Z_SPk8 I appreciate I'm running quite a lot of mods, but NOT Remotetech. It's worth mentioning my US probes from Raidernick are also no longer functioning as Comms satellites either, so it must be something that has changed with the way they work in game. The odd thing is some of you antennae work, most do not. :shrug. It's a bugger as it means my SPACE empire has come to a screeching halt as the comms relays are all knackered :-) are

Looking in a save file where I placed a vessel with one of your working antenna and one of the non working versions, there seems to be missing "module" data in the file. E.g. the one that works has "can transmit" or something similar (i'm at work so not 100% sure :-) ) whereas the other one doesn't. Hope that helps J

Hi - just migrating my save to 1.8 today and including your newest official build. I've noticed a possible bug with the antennae.. Certain models e.g. the WPT Scimitar don't seem to be functioning anymore. Odd thing is I also cannot see any data rates or module information in the VAB when you hover over an item - they used to be there. Other variants such as the Sonne-MBM-LGCA are working.... with associated data in the VAB. It could be a conflict granted, so before I go hunting can anyone else confirm or deny ? Cheers SJ

Has anyone tried with 1.8 ? Cheers SJ

Hi, new to BDB. I'm aready using some of the parts on my builds. Thanks. Quick question though. I use a mixture of mods (too many probably) including raidernick's RN Series and the FASA kit. Do I have to do something to get the scales to match up correctly with BDB kit. It seems all the (Beautiful btw) BDB parts are a shade smaller in comparison ? What bit of the FAQ have I missed :-) Cheers SJ

Ok, solved. I was clicking the green warp arrows. The correct procedure is to select Hyper warp OR Physics warp. Then hold left ALT and Press the "." button ("." or ">") on the KEYBOARD :-) Thanks for your patience with me... I blame the age / or alcohol...

Hi Space, Nerd, thanks for the heads up. I'm actually 99% sure I did try ALL the options in the drop down. Is it possible I have missed something somewhere ? I will uninstall the mod and try and re-install. Magically I managed to get the game to stay stable minimised in the background for the 3.5hrs it took to run the burn last night.... Miracle in itself frankly :-) I watched some of Roverdudes videos instead..... Will try again tonight - cheers. SJ Will check - thanks for confirming Alt... I've tried both... anyone got a link to a youtube of this actually working ? I've tried looking :-)

Hi, Sorry. Still not working. Most frustrating. Am in the middle of this blooming nuclear burn... and cannot get it to work. Do I have to preselect any of the settings. Can someone walk me through exactly where I'm going wrong with this ? :-/ What I've done: 1) Clicked the drop down arrow. 2) Selected Hyper warp 3) Hold down Shift (or alt) and then click the second warp arrow ?

Loving the challenge of getting this safely into orbit.. Only bugbear is that the contracts seem bugged. It keeps repeating and asking me to send up another Telescope, even though MUN, KERBIN and MINMUS have all now had at least 2 sent their way. It's not the end of the world, but the payout is quite large and it's a bit cheaty to keep sending them into orbit, just to delete them etc....

Thanks, will try that.

I've got a 3 Hour burn scheduled and really need to get this work. Whatever I seem to do I just get the Cannot warp when accelerating" warning. Is there a simple duffers guide anywhere? I tried the Readme in the folder, but it seems truncated. I've tried holding down left Alt as I click the second triange... nothing seems to work. Cheers for any pointers. SJ

thanks :-) That worked. The planet is still very dark, but I can see my ship now... Needed +25%

Looks beautiful, thanks for this. One question I play on an OLED screen which tends to have Black blacks.... On the dark side of any planetary body I can literally see nothing. No shading lights or reflection - just LED's or Windows etc. it make navigating components and the like very difficult. Is there a way to brighten up the "dark side of the moon" without ruining all you other wonderful settings ? Thanks This is what it made me download on CKAN if it helps to diagnose SJ
