[1.2.2] Phoenix Industries Cargo Resupply System (KIS/MechJeb Compatible) v2.2

[-ctn-]

Argh! I knew I would forget something!

And good catch with the missing face. I've noticed sometimes when I merge objects in Blender, some of the faces reverse direction - which is super annoying. 

And also good catch with the new RCSFX. I'll wait to fix that until 1.2 is officially released though - I don't know if calling that while in KSP1.1.3 would cause issues.

Yeah, good call. Once you update RCS to use the new system, and change the probe core 1.1.3 functionality is completely gone. Again, PM me if you want help with 1.2 changes. More importantly, keep up the good work!

Thanks! I'm glad you seem to enjoy the mod. I'll try to fix those faces and get a quick update up tonight. 

Also, check your inbox!

I don't know if this is a bug on my end, or if the ATV's solar panels are buggy. Whenever I use them, they angle themselves edge-first towards the sun, just like a radiator would. Pics in the album so you can see what I'm talking about. 

Album link is here!

Forgot how to embed the album, so I'll just link it instead.

Oh no! Are you playing in 1.2? I tested it on both 1.2 and 1.1.3 and they were working as expected. I'll take another look later today.

1.2 build 1654 here and same issue with ATV's PI-SP-3 panels. Take your time and other than this very minor issue your 1.2 updated mods seems to work flawlessly. Thanks for nice updates, i'm enjoying all of them atm!

I was using 1.1.3 when I noticed this. Though, sadly, it seems I'm not the only one encountering it unfortunately :/

As @Murdox said, it's a minor issue, don't feel like you have to rush to fix them. They work just fine, the only thing that's "off" about them is how they position themselves relative to the sun. It's purely a cosmetic issue, not functional!

I do have to mention that waiting for this update was well worth it! The new parts are fantastic; great work!

[-ctn-]

Oh bugger! I'll wait until 1.2 officially drops next week before I update it. 

[FiiZzioN]

Something you may want to include is tags in the update when 1.2 is released. When making some modifications via MM, I noticed that the parts were missing them. Once again, it's small, I just wanted to inform you!

Any chance of adding a jettisonable nose-cone for the SpaceX Dragon look-alike capsule, that can attach to (and be jettisoned from) a Clamp-o-tron attached to the front of the capsule?

Does everyone hate the stock nose cone that much? Haha I've gotten multiple requests for this part. 

[StevieC]

It's not so much a case of "hating" the stock nose-cone as that the stock nose-cone:

1. Can't be staged to jettison like your solar-panel fairings can
2. Clashes with the design of your Dragon lookalike cargo-capsule
3. Doesn't fit flush to the capsule when attached to a stock Clamp-o-tron that is in turn attached to the front attachment node of the capsule.

Also, the ATV and HTV parts both seem to lack command-functionality. I wasn't sure if that was intentional or due to an oversight, just wanted to give a heads-up.

I, too, would like a jettison-able nose cone implemented. @StevieC's points highlight most of the reasons why I want one, but I'd also like one as it would complete the entire Dragon package in both looks and functionality. That is the only part that isn't present that the real Dragon currently uses.

You can use action groups to decouple something attached to a docking port - so you can't stage the nosecone but you can decouple it with actiongroups. The "move" tool in the VAB editor will make it sit flush- 

But, noted, I will make a nosecone that can jettison. 

The HTV is not supposed to have a command part, neither should the Cygnus. But the ATV should, I'll look into that.

Can you please add nodes to the trunk so attaching solar panels would be easier? When I attach the solar panels they all tend to misalign and the aerodynamic solar panel covers sit a little way from the trunk; they seem like they are floating in midair.

Seconded. This would make attachment of the solar panels and the solar panel aero shrouds a lot easier.

Love the station parts! O_O Good work, ctn!

How can I get the latest version? Your download gives me V 1.5.2.

[StevieC]

TAC Life Support detection, s'il-vous-plait?

[Spike88]

I can't seem to get it to download from Spacedock.

 

Clearing Cache seems to have fixed it.

Is there a chance you can release the layered texture (.PSD) for the Phoenix Capsule trunk? I want to put the Dragon's logo on it . Thanks!

Edit: found the perfect nose cap!

Where'd you find that nosecone?

It's a slightly modified LazTek Dragon nose cap, you just have to change it's color, node and size. I'll share it but ...

Alas... The nose-cone in @tygoo7's Tundra Exploration parts-pack works pretty well with this mod's Dragon lookalike, as does his TAC Life Support patch in said parts-pack. For a manned Dragon-alike capsule with SuperDraco engines, I use @EmbersArc's Kerbal Reusability Expansion.

It works fine in 1.0.5, but I wanted to keep the update reserved for when I get the new models and textures done. Speaking  of, here's some progress photos:

I think I'll work on modeling the new solar panels next. Then will come texturing and finally, the hopefully not-so-tedious-this-time Unity/config work.

@-ctn- I remembered this being posted. Just went searching for it. Did this fall defunct? I'd love to be able to utilize this fine display of modeling.

 

Other then that, what are the odds of possibly getting a CRS-4 capable of hauling tanks? I'd like to utilize it as an emergency fuel drop sometimes. Or as a good solid way to move fertilizer up to my stations for USI-LS. Like how the current CRS missions take food and water up to the station.
