Bug? Solar Panels blocked by Aero shielding (RO, RSS, RP0)

[CitizenVeen]

I think this is a bug, not sure to what mod it is related, or that it is a stock bug. I am playing with Realism Overhaul/Real Solar System/RP-0 (and all mods that come with it).

I'f got a vessel heading for the moon (my first one, yay!), it has alot of spare electricity and 4 big solar panels. However, the solar panels say they are being blocked by 'aero shielding' and dont provide me any electricity, allthough (as you can see in the screenshots) nothing is blocking the Panels, they even cast shadows, which means they should be providing me with electric charge.

In the meantime, is there a way to 'cheat' my electricity back? By editting it somewhere? I am fine doing this as I calculated that my panels bring me much more electricity than I would ever need.

Thanks for the help!

That means they are getting the 'shielded' status set. @ferram4 any idea why FAR might be shielding them? Could that AIES probe core have a faffed collider maybe?

[ferram4]

Nope, everything looks fine for that part.  I'd suspect another mod preventing FAR from being able to finish voxelizing, which would cause the issue.  That or some other program is interfering with KSP + FAR preventing the voxelization threads from running.

The bug remaint after a reload, but a couple of reloads later suddenly was gone.

 

Another question, is there any way to see what parts on a ship are draining electricity, and how much? My electricity was falling, but all parts I could identify that were draining electricity were only about 10% of what my panels were supplying me.

Well, I don't know why they're blocked, but if you do Alt+F12, it will open the debug menu and and you can turn on infinite electricity. (Or fn+option+F12 on mac)

@CitizenVeen I'm unaware of anything that enumerates. Fusebox may still be useful however.

I am experiencing the very same issue - and this was the only post on the whole internet with keywords "blocked by aero shielding"... I have reinstalled everything, installed realism overhaul and rp0 with dependencies. Actually I haven't played for a month before this (it was all working fine), and now updated mods with CKAN and found this issue... 

As I understand your issue was solved by itself - any idea what should I do?

Came to the conclusion that in my case the engines cause the issue - when I removed the RL10 and RD253 engines, the solar panels started working. But this is no solution ... I want my game back, really fed up that after a month finally I had time to play and spent 6 hours trying to debug so I could actually play...

Solved by going back to the version of every mod where the I last successfully played. Never mass-update CKAN again and god bless CKAN longterm cache of downloaded files.

Dude! Thank you so much for debugging it for 6 hours! Your comment helped me! I've just removed the RD253 engines from my rocket and all of the deployables now work fine!

Sorry for posting in such an old post, but it is indeed the only post about this issue on the net and it might be useful for others:

I found the solution for myself, open the payload bays, (even though my solar panels are not IN it but on the outside of them solved it for me.

I am also experiencing this bug. Only stock parts.
