Hello,
I'm having a problem with electric charge drain when using KSP Interstellar Extended. Specifically, when I extend a "Gigantor XL Solar Array" using "Activate Receiver", it works as expected, but when I then retract the solar array using "Retract Solar Panel" or "Disable Receiver", then the electric charge is drained a very quick rate.
I was able to reproduce the problem on a fresh install of KSP 1.9.1.2788, using CKAN v1.27.0 to install KSP Interstellar Extended and only its dependencies. CKAN shows me as having the following mods installed:
KSP Interstellar Extended v1.25.13.5
Intersellar Fuel Switch Core v3.14.2.5
Module Manager 4.1.3
TweakScale - Rescale Everything! v2.4.3.11
I created a new sandbox save file and built a craft consisting of only three parts: MK1 Command Pod (piloted by a Kerbal), Z-1k Rechargeable Battery Bank, and Gigantor XL Solar Array. On the launchpad, before extending the solar array, the craft appears to consume no electric charge and the battery remains full. After extended the solar array and then retracting it, the craft begins consuming 4.67 electric charge until the battery is drained.
I believe my issue may be related to a post in January by @Siama. However, I wasn't able to find a solution.
Does anyone know if there is a fix or work-around for this electric charge drain problem?
Thanks!
