Remote tech-Help !

[Hcube]

Hi, i just installed remote tech for the first time, and i also have RSS installed. Weirdly the red dot wich (i suppose) is the point supposed to be the KSC where the communications come from is not situated near the launchpad (that is in florida in RSS) but in south america... : as a result my probes on the launchpad have no connections and can not be controlled. Is that a bug or did i go wrong somewhere ?

Can you guys help me ? or is Remote tech not compatible with RSS and i have to go back to the original downscaled Kerbin ? Thanks

EDIT : Actually, i have another problem...

I decided to install RT on a non-RSS save, but i can still launch probes without antennas and without connection... i could control a stayputnik probe core with no antenna on the other side of Kerbin, at 300km...

The RT connection tab under the MET shows a red calculator, as if there was no connection, and the delay tab shows N/A

What did i do wrong ?

Sounds like you need this config.

Recall that KSC in stock is located on the equator... I don't think it's random chance that your Red-Dot communications point is also on the equator. That's probably where KSC "would be" in RSS, rather than at Cape Canaveral, and so that's where it's getting slapped now without the config to reposition it to Florida.

Edit: Hmm, looks like that's a dead link.

In any case, if you go to the RemoteTech original post and look under "Optional Configs", you'll see that RemoteTech does need a config to be compatible with RSS. I just don't know where that config currently is hiding.

Okay that's what i was thinking ! thanks for the help !

I'm not sure i want to install RO... i tried it before and was overwhelmed with all the features/content/bugs. I'll just stick with RSS. So maybe i'll use remote tech in another non-RSS game

EDIT : i'm not changing the thread to Answered in case someone has another solution

Config file is here, https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealismOverhaul/blob/master/GameData/RealismOverhaul/RemoteTech_Settings.cfg

Other solutions can be found from the RO wiki:

[h=2]Remote Tech[/h]In RO currently mission control is not directly at any launch site. Therefore it is in the beginning not possible to launch an uncrewed vessel. You can however, launch crewed vessels that put uncrewed satellites in orbit. Those can connect to uncrewed vessels, e.g. directly near your favourite launch site and from there an omni antenna can be used to directly target vessels on the launchpad.

Other Options:

1. You can also install the patch that creates mission control centers at every launch site. To do so, you can either install it directly (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80983870/RemoteTech_Settings.cfg), or you can delete the file GameData/RemoteTech/RemoteTech_Settings.cfg, then use ckan install RemoteTech-Config-RSS 0.0
   
2. Put a 6-kerbal craft with the appropriate hardware directly near the launch site, so that you have a mission control center there. (To send science back however, you have to go to the original mission control.)

Cool, thanks !
