Changing the parts of the active vessel mid-flight

[EladDv]

I have a list of parts i want to have as the parts on the current active vessel. i have thought on a number of ways to do so:

1. changing the parts list on the vessel- dosnt really works the old parts stay in place and the new part is remaining physicsless.

2. going into the persistence file and changing it there- i couldnt find the file in code.

3. creating a new vessel and having it as the active vessel- i tried that too but it's again physicsless for some reason.

any ideas or suggestions?

Following on from the 3rd idea you could look at my source code included in the BoatNavigation download, the BackgroundScene.cs, ChangePositions subroutine contains a method of spawning a .craft file and replacing the original, you would have to adapt this for an Active Vessel, maybe by placing the vessel on rails before hand and off rails after? It depends how smooth you want to change the parts (my method may be slow and visually unpleasing for an active vessel :S)!

hmm that's good. i dont have craft files but ship constructions should work just as well. i could always make it visually unpleasing now and hope later i get to a solution- i think i need more minds on this and i am sure some people will join me once i have a nice core
