I was thinking the other night of trying the LightSwitch Interface mod specifically for that problem.

Actually I dont really use the "ejection part" a lot. I usually add the module to manned pods cfg files. Sorry but im apparently blind tonight - where in the config file can I edit the number of ejects? I think we'll be ok with the old version for a while so enjoy your vacation.

Ok after finally taking a look at Deadly Reentry I see what Khaos is talking about. Its not about how convenient Module Manager is for those who use it. For those of us who are well versed in editing cfg's and prefer the freedom of managing our files ourselves - Deadly Reentry is completely unusable. It's too bad as I was planning to add that mod to my game. There is no way I can see to edit the files yourself. Please do not setup this mod that way! Using Module Manager should be optional not mandatory.

Hey Kreuzung is there a way to make the ejection module eject more than 3 crew members? Im trying to add this to a capsule with seven crew. It performs as advertised but only for 3 crew members. This really is a great module by the way.

Beautiful! Good finally have an IVA for this.

I dont think these are simple "OP cfg edits" at all. Tone is so hard to convey online. I was joking that others might consider this mod as such and that new models would help it stand out. Although I am glad I got you explain the way you did for all to see. If your trying to model the hypothetical effect of Alcubierre drive then how about something toroidal for the model:

Would you mind posting a pic of the difference that makes?

Both great tips! Thanks. B9 parts are just too good looking to spoil and with an editor as difficult as KSP's every tip and trick counts.

Can I ask how did you manage to do that. Im pretty well versed in editor tricks but I dont think im familiar with this one.

I've already done this. Changes in red. I think those are all the changes I made but I cannot check as I've deleted my copy of R3. I'll take this down if CardBoardBoxProcessor doesn't like it here.

I'd have to say the number one thing you need are new models. lol We dont take kindly to "OP cfg edits" round these parts friend. The second thing you need is another star or star system.

Bingo! Oooh look new stuff!

Viperwolf are those landing gear from TT's Multiwheels?

Just last night I tried adding the latest release of Novapunch to my game (one of many many mods). The result - KSP would ctd (crash to desktop) the instant it finished loading. After an hour or so of frustration I tried lowering my graphics settings and bingo KSP loaded just fine. Try it. Your mileage may vary.

I doubt that was Khaos's intention and I doubt he was trying to tell anyone to do anything. Merely sharing his process and opinion. You are misinterpreting his post I think.

One suggestion. Change the name. Something like "Center of Mass Balancer" or something similar. The current "Fuel Balancer for RCS" makes it seem like it only moves monopropellant around. Ironic as this is the holy grail of Balance - there's a name! - that a lot of other mods have been reaching for. The only thing this mod is missing is the ability to specify a new center of mass position in flight.

I've been hunting this bug since sunday. I can confirm it is not a kethane issue it appears to be MechJeb 2.0.9. dev build #72

In general I agree with this but otherwise this is what I was referring to. Realism . I guess before you balance anything CardBoardBoxProcessor would have to decide - Is this a copy of the real world Dragon spacecraft. Or something extremely similar that works for KSP?

You wouldn't happen to be thinking of using KerbTown for that would you Khaos?

Seriously!?! I have no real objection but that's a bit hard to believe is all

Ok. I understand that. And the reason why it was removed. Which has now changed apparently. Now if it wont upset you too terribly I'd like to continue trying to see if we can find a way to add it back in.

Sorry SciMan this has not worked for me either.

From the AIES Aerospace thread. Although im not sure about the numbers I intended to use this as a guide for my own update.

Ready for duty in v0.21.1! Also shameless bump!

Well the thing about mod makers is that they do whatever they feel like. If Bobcat wants to update then he will. If not then complaining about it will probably not help. Others have posted pretty much exactly what you have said about the 20.2 release and this 21.1 release. Use the knowledge in the thread and sit tight. Bobcat said updates are coming soonâ„¢ .
