Stock inline fairings

[sysigy]

Is it possible to use the stock fairings in an inline fashion? If so, can someone provide me some instructions?

I have tried to make them work but the designer ui always wants to close them to a tapered pointed cone.

thanks,

PS, I really want to avoid using a mod for this.

it is possible to close them around a docking port (as an example)

you just have to find the right pixel to click on... it seems to work if you have at least two sections and you hover the closing click on the port... works most of the times, other times i have to redo the whole fairing a couple of times.

don't know how to consistently hit it, but it is possible!

PS:

have a central stage for transfer, and two small landers attached under a t-beam. like:

 #####################
 #         ##        #
 .         /\        .
...       |  |      ...
...       |  |      ...
---       |  |      ---

the dots are inside two fairings (do not forget the decoupler (---) to get rid of the whole fairings!)

Yeah, just use one fairing base though, using two confuses it, drag your fairing up to the tank/decoupler/whatever and when it's on the edge it'll let you close it.

You can end a fairing on almost any part, as sal mentions. It can be finicky though, sometimes it refuses to close without giving much feedback as to why. It does make for some pretty rockets (There's a lander hidden in there).
