Kelderek Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I think this is the same old problem that would happen to other articulating items like ladders, where if you load it up in the VAB after a while doing other things then the button no longer works. In this case I have a 2.5m service bay packed with other parts and now I cannot open it to access what is inside while I'm editing the ship in the VAB. It opens fine once the ship is active in space or on the launch pad, just not in the VAB where I need to edit it. With a ladder it was a simple matter of taking it off, throwing it away and adding a new one as a workaround, but I'd rather not have to do that since I have so much stuff inside this service bay.Is there a workaround for this that doesn't require me starting from scratch with a brand new service bay?(I can probably start over and have the bay the way I want it in the time it takes to get responses from you guys, but it would be nice to know of a workaround for the future).

KatzOhki Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Maybe you can take it off and put it back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaws909 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 You don't have a fairing over it do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelderek Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 I do have a fairing which I have not tried taking off first - does that make a difference? I did try removing the service bay and putting it back on to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaws909 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Delete the fairing, worked for me. Not sure if it's intended or not but ya, they won't open inside a fairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelderek Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 That worked, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Kerman Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Delete the fairing, worked for me. Not sure if it's intended or not but ya, they won't open inside a fairing.Anything inside a fairing or closed cargo bay is not allowed to open/extend/deploy - it's a bit annoying this applies to the VAB as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelderek Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah I expected that behavior outside, but in the VAB it shouldn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguywholikesionengines Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 What is it's not in a fairing and won't open? If i can't open my service bay i cant put the EVA seat in my dres lander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket In My Pocket Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Use this and fly right inside it. (Yes, it works fine in the latest version.) I don't know how any one builds anything with the shoddy camera controls the game uses by default.

Snark Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Just to be clear, this is an old thread from well over a year ago, and KSP has changed a lot in the meantime. Locking the thread to prevent confusion. @Thatguywholikesionengines, if you've got a problem with service bays currently in 1.1.3, please open a new thread for it, so that folks won't be confused by the (old, likely out-of-date) comments in the earlier part of this thread.
