Are there any 2 man, 1.25 meter capsules that look like stock?

[MarcAlain]

I've not been able to find any 1.25 meter capsules that have the same design of say, a Mk1-2 pod, or the Taurus HCV capsule. Any suggestions?

[smjjames]

FASA maybe? http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/24867-0-90-FASA-Feb-20th-90-Release-v5-22 Not sure about the stock-alike look though.

[MarcAlain]

Yeah that and K2 are the few I've found that even have 1.25m 2 man capsules, but both are Gemeni in looks.

Novapunch has a two man pod, not sure about stockalike though. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/3870-0-90-NovaPunch-2-08-Dec-17th-0-90-Compatibility-Minor-Update

Yeah it looks good, but again it's not 1.25m.

I wonder how tweaking some of these steeper sloped 2 man capsules would work though...

How about a quick ghetto hack on a Mk1-2 pod ? The configuration file below, placed anywhere within the GameData subdirectory structure, uses the model for the stock 3-man Mk1-2 pod, resized to 1.25m and stretched a bit, configured for 2 kerbals with proportionally adjusted costs and capacities. The top will conveniently fit a junior docking port or Mk-16 parachute.

Looks great man! That's as good as I think I can find for now

[MarcAlain]

What would I edit in the config to get the 2 man cfg file to work with the new heatshields? I feel like I adjusted the correct values, yet this happens:

Just offset the heatshield to where you want it to be, heating affects should work as normal.

[MarcAlain]

Right, but which value affects this? I've changed a few and it doesn't seem to change where the heatshield attaches vertically.

[Taki117]

Right, but which value affects this? I've changed a few and it doesn't seem to change where the heatshield attaches vertically.

in the config it's the "node_stack_bottom" line. You will have to adjust the =.48 down (I would try something on the order of .65 first)

[MarcAlain]

Right, I have tried that but I get a different problem. The heatshield doesn't want to attach :

There is orionkerbin's snack pack as well, but it's not been updated In a while.

Interesting, I want to give this a go but I am unsure of how to do it, do I just copy the Mk1-2 Command Pod folder and replace the .cfg with this?

EDIT- Nevermind, though the same thing as mentioned several posts up happens to me when the heatshield won't attach correctly, the top node does not connect but the bottom does which is not good. Any adjustments I can make to the .cfg to make it work properly?

Finally, a perfect 2 man 1.25m capsule complete with service module, engine, and parachute/docking module.
