More IVA Questions

[Angelo Kerman]

Has anybody had a situation like this, where the IVA falls out of the cockpit?

Here's my Unity setup:

I can't figure out why the interior suddenly has dropped out of the cockpit. I don't have any props installed yet, I'm just trying to set up the basic IVA.

Thanks for your help!

Put the child objects on the "kerbals" layer

D'Oh! Thank you much, that was the rookie mistake! When it comes to IVAs, I am a rookie, heh!

I've made that mistake with every iva I've made so far. I kept forgetting it

That's a nice looking cockpit you got there.

Heh. Now I get why IVAs can be tricky. But I'm having a blast figuring out the layout.

Thanks! It needs some work but I think it's getting there. One thing I'll do is replace the display graphic on the air filtration units with actual props.

Here are some more internal views. The idea is that you'll have a HUD, so the instruments aren't as visible with the default camera view that you get when you enter the IVA view for the first time.

It would be so funny if IVA dropped with Kerbals in their seats

Intentionally; like one of those star citizen ships.

How did you fix the exterior not showing up in your IVA? :\ Im getting this problem...

A lot of trial and error helped me align the interior with the exterior. That and setting all the meshes to Kerbals layer.

At last! People who know IVA's!

I'm interested in making a custom IVA for a stock command pod, but I don't know where to start... Any tutorials? I'm familiar with Unity and part development for KSP.

That post should be the first stop for most questions you've got -  the video tutorials on IVAs are great!

Nice job! That looks awesome!
