I am having trouble with these parts. I am using the latest version but I still have two problems. When I load in the free-moving docking washers, they act like motorized ones. They are completely rigid and have motor controls which work. I really want to use the free-moving ones! I checked the files in GameData and they are all there and different. Also, the pistons and the rails only extend to about 1/8th of their intended length no matter what I do. The controls work and they make noise and everything but they just stop at about 1/8th of their intended extension. Are these known issues?

I have two ships next to each other in orbit and I am trying to use the grappling hook to connect them but it won't let me. I grab the grappling hook in EVA with the winch cable still connected to it, then I fly over to the fin I want to attach the grappling hook to, then I click "attach" on the grappling hook on my back. This brings up the hologram you use to attach things, and I click right where I want it, but it says "target not allowed" with something in front of it. So then I am thinking, "oookaaaayyy...I will just use another part." I can't attach it anywhere, though. It doesn't matter if the two ships are docked, or if the plug is in docked or undocked mode. I tried restarting KSP even, but nothing is working. I can't find anything on this issue besides a Reddit thread which said to restart.

Just adding my two cents that the new Spinnaker engine should have increased thrust to match the 47-S. I think maybe just 35 rather than 30 would be good. I think I will change it in the part file for mine.
