JoseEduardo Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Just with docking ports they wobble around and I figured it may turn the station into a wobly snake. Figured if we could make it solid it will be better. Maybe I can try in a personal install first.But for a dock port it needs the cfg script to make it work and yeah I will try kas to understand it.- - - Updated - - -In other news:http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-33524589First images of pluto flybyhttp://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/375/cpsprodpb/B547/production/_84270464_p_lorri_fullframe_color.pngso Pluto is totally different from what I imagined, I thought it was more blueish/whitish...btw, for the wobble, there's super bonder duct tape struts KJR: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/55657-0-23-5-Kerbal-Joint-Reinforcement-v2-2-4-2-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not its only the ISS, she will be alright.Kjr is what I included in the mod but dont know if it helps dock ports...I wi try some things and if I can make it rigid without dependencies or a small less than 1mb mm patch or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyMeToTheMinmus Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Careful Mike btw KIS and KAS are two different mods, you want to use KIS. As for wobbly ports, I guess that's a good point. KIS isn't fussy about what type of node you use, so you could get away with no docking ports at all, and just sticking a node at each end. If people want to dock, they can use the CBM ports or something, and if not they can use KIS to node attach. be aware that if you choose to use KIS, you'll likely want to include support for adding KIS inventories to some of the parts; maybe the quest airlock? Not saying to do this right away, but if you give KIS a try you'll see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tools or struts or addons etc...What I can do is make it how it was use 'dock ports'but have a simple module manager patch for those who want to add the ability of using KIS for rigidity and extra functions...? So that way no extra dependencies unless you want it.- - - Updated - - -it does, for some time there was a bug that they even wouldn't undockOh ok. I need to test it out.

Helmut_AUT Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 While Mike is busy working on the ISS, would any of the other Shuttle pilots please tell me if and how you got it working with RSS? It looks so out of place on Kerbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-NZ Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 I will get more done on the RO RSS this weekend...but here is tonights work.P5/S5 - with orbiter attachment mount that decouples and stays in bay, ready for canadarm install. because function.also had to rework solar panels but gave them expanding scaffolding.

TheAceOfHearts Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Can you just make sure that parts can correctly dock and undock? The PMAs and Shuttle have had trouble with that in the past, either not docking, or not undocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyMeToTheMinmus Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I believe the undocking thing may have been a bug on KSP's part actually in prior versions, so it might not show up now. Either way, it'll be difficult to find until the parts get a bit of use in-game, and even then the fix is just going into the config and changing some values. It was more an issue with how docking ports worked rather than a fault of the parts, so I don't think it's something we need to worry about right now.

Dnaha Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I think a cool addition to the shuttle model would be the Ku-band antenna. This could work as a transmission device since the shuttle doesn't have one, or there could be some sort of Remote Tech implementation. Here's a picture a reference is needed:Wondering if this is possible or wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that has one on it Edited July 16, 2015 by Mike-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
