Find the service module cfg and in the node_stack_top line replace it with the following. node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.675, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0 Note that this will make the part incompatible with the original capsule it was intended for. Also this is what i was mentioning earlier, its the adapter i use so that the nosecone of the module sits in the correct position. I suppose it can be fixed by tweaking the node values in the .cfg's but this works just fine. It can be decoupled from the docking port after the nosecone has been jettisoned.
