Thanks for all info!

Hi all, When launching my crafts I usually go to the map overview when I'm getting close to AP and continue maneuvering from there to finalize my orbit. However, usually I have a couple of asparagus stages left during this phase and I can't see when one stage is out of fuel, so I have to switch back and forth between ship view and map view. Does anybody know if there's a mod to make it possible to see stage fuel info and be able to separate stages while in the map view? I found a thread somewhere on here asking the same question, but never came to a resolve...

Thing is though, it DOES snap, but not to the same snap points as in the VAB. When I tried to attach a small solar panel to a small fuel tank, it did seem to snap like it was set to Octa-snap. When mounted in the first place, the panels were attached using a quad-snap. Maybe it's just that the game engine "sees" that small fuel tank as an object with eight sides, and the mods "snap" is not using VAB type snap, but in fact object side snap. Would be awesome though to have the same amount of precision when attaching stuff so you don't loose your vessels symmetry.

Ok I learned how attaching parts works. Just as I wanted. Awesome. However it could be more awesome. I seem to be lacking any kind of presicion when attaching parts? On a lander I'm trying to repair has previously had 4 solarpanels on with was put on with quad symmetry and snap, in the VAB. They are exactly angled 90 degrees apart. One of them broke off during an unfortunate landing and now I'm trying to put on a new one with the attach mode. It does not want to snap to the exact angle/position so it is no longer symmetric with the other 3. Any help/tips on this? Also, why only rotate on 1 axis? Is it possible to rotate on other axises? //Chris

Trying to understand this mod. Someone said this mod can be used to attach new parts to a ship. I don't understand how. As an example. I have a stranded lander on Duna. It fell on its side on touchdown due to the landing site happened to be a steep slope. It rolled around afew revs before coming to a halt. During the rolling about, the solar panels broke (fell off) due to collision with the ground. Does this mod make it possible to go there and "repair" (attach new solar panels) in the same places as the ones that fell off, to restore the broken lander to a working condition? Thanks Chris
