Alignment of 2-Part stock procedural fairings


Recommended Posts

Hi All!

Does anybody know if there is a way to set the alignment of the stock procedural fairings? In the way on which axis the "split" of the two fairing halves occur? (Meaning that the fairing is set to to halves only by it's cfg)

Normally, they do split on the left-right axis in regard to the parent object's alignment (on part would fall in direction of the VAB door, one 180 dregrees from it in the VAB @ default orientation of the parent part.)

I would need a 90° rotated split, one that would result into a bottom/top fairing part split. Currently, i have the parent part 90° offset to its intended orientation to do so. IE when you grab it in the VAB, you have to rotate it first, before attaching. But that is not THAT great of a "solution".

You could try rotating the entire model by 90* with a MODEL {} node.

That'll turn the transform that the fairing is fixed to at least.

Example:

+PART [modelnamehere] {

!Mesh = del

!MODEL{}

MODEL{

model = model path goes here

rotation = 0.0, 90.0, 0.0 //X,Y,Z rotation

}
