But when you switch to relay mode, are the joules just passed through the sat/array and therefore you get a reading of zero joules being stored? If so, how do you know that the relay sat is working properly? Or do you just check the LOS in map view and just assume all is well?

Thanks for the reply. I have done relay networks/"constellations" before with RemoteTech, using only 3 sats at 120 degrees from each other at a Kerbalsynchronous orbit with much success. I have tried many different experiments with KSPI, and the array parts just aren't functioning properly for me. I have seen Wave's youtube video, used 4 sats at 90 degrees from each other at a 750km orbit and everything. I have the experimental version KSPI. I tried removing other mods too. I have a complete understanding of orientation and LOS, blocked signals by celestial bodies and so forth. I put a receiver next to a transmitter on the launchpad and got nothing until I pointed the arrays at each other using MagicSmokeIndustries parts. But for some reason, the phased array microwave transceivers don't receive unless I point within +/- 90 degrees of the transmitter...even when the transmitter is in orbit. Even if I "receive" a signal, when I switch from receive to relay, the joules drain to zero immediately. I have let a sat rotate in orbit only to notice that if the phased array microwave transceiver is not pointing within +/- 90 degrees of the transmitter, the signal is lost. I don't know what to say. Something is up. HELP!!!!! Using sandbox Your links: Yeah Faraday cage..."The Darkest Hour, 2011" Gotcha! Still, +/- 90 degrees or nothing. 2nd link: So deploy more sats to increase peripheral of LOS? Gotcha. Will try. TY amiga.

I just started with this mod. Props to Wave for maintaining it. Is anyone else having a problem with the phased array microwave transceivers not functioning as omnidirectional dishes? I have a receiver in orbit and the only time that it receives power is when it is literally pointing within +/-90 degrees of the transmitter. I even placed a transmitter near the Launchpad and the only time that I get power is when I go to orbit and point within 90 degrees of its location as I pass above it. I also drove a receiver around the transmitter and the power supply continually fluctuates from full to zero. Is there a way to point satellites at each other like in Remote Tech? Am I missing something? Is this wip? I find the relay setting useless. When I look at the RemoteTech antennae config files, they state the antennae as being omnidirectional. I could not find such in the Phased Array configs. Hmmm? Anyone?

Nevermind. I see. Delete the "s" in autopilots...doh

I get this error: Could not find a part of the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\HydroTech\PluginData\rcsautopilot\autopilots\translation.cfg". I checked the folder and it is empty.

Same here...NO TARGETS IN SIGHT regardless of range. Micheal it would be nice if you were more specific with the install instructions. For example, do we delete anything if we have the older version? And, in the zip file, do we put the game data folder in the KSP game data folder or do we put the contents of the zipped game data folder into KSP game data folder? The install instructions are vague and generic.
