re:Cargo Bays

[mcfliinty]

Hey folks,

I need a bit of help with cargo bays (MK3). I can't seem to get anything to attach to them. I've tried fuel tanks directly, using docking ports, girders, struts and so on but nothing will connect. I see the small green "bubble" just fine but that's where it stops.

I only have mechjeb installed at this point.

Thanks in advance.

Hold alt button while trying to attach a part, that should force it to attach to the green "bubble" (connection node) and not to anything else.

Try moving the camera around a bit, sometimes it works when you look at it from a different angle, like 90 degrees to the place where you want them to go.

Also, first attach the cargo bay to something solid (fuel tank, cockpit), then attach the item - as if you were attaching it to the same wall (tank, cockpit). You won't attach it to a floating node.

Once I get something inside I generally work on it by off-setting it as far up as I can, when I finish I set I back down in the bay, then reconnect it.
