Same behavior continues. The panels point towards Valentine even when Valentine is blocked by Kerbin and the Sun is in full view. Any suggestions? Oh, also the current issue is with the stock 1x6 extendable solar panels, not sure about the others. Expand Sorry, I'm not getting the same problem. Is it possible that you oriented your solar panels strangely in the VAB? Send over a screenshot of your solar panels pointed in the wrong direction. And you are sure that your haven't modified Extrasolar, or have any other mods installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my GameData folder: Valentine blocked by kerbin, sun in full view, panels are fine. Sun blocked by Kerbin, Valentine in view. Panels orient towards Valentine Valentine now blocked by Kerbin, Sun in full view. Panels stay oriented towards Valentine no matter how much time I give them to rotate. The only way to refresh it is to manually rotate the entire ship towards the sun, then they are mostly fine, though sometimes there's an odd panel that refuses to look away from Valentine (even if Kerbin is blocking it?). Until the Sun is blocked again. Edited July 20, 2017 by xXshadowXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Starluck Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) It may not be an issue with Extrasolar. I'm experiencing the same behavior without it installed; I'm instead using a procedural galaxy generated by To Boldly Go. My solar panels are quite insistent in pointing all kinds of wacky directions, many of them directly away from the nearby sun. They also report being in "direct sunlight," despite their energy flow being 0.000. My guess? They don't have a good way to prioritize what light source will give them the best illumination.

Expand Yeah It could possibly just be a problem will multi-stellar planet packs and out of my control for the most part. I can't think of anything else that could be causing this.

Andi K. Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Working on an update for Extrasolar right now. In the next update, you will have to use a heatshield to protect your spacecraft from interstellar debri. So, if you are planning any interstellar missions in the near future, make sure to pack a heatshield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ununtri Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Was the distance form the star doubled recently? I remember it being around 5Pm, now it's 10Pm, but changelog says nothing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Dry Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 So by reading the posts about solar panels issues, besides that; is this compatible to stock + OPM + SigBin + SigDim + RealisticRescale (Augustus) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand OPM works fine, Sigma Binary should be fine as well, though it won't actually change the Valentine system at all. Sigma Dimensions should also work fine as well as realistic rescale. Keep in mind, though, Realistic Rescale will probably cause Valentine to be EXTREMELY far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galileo Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 @AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures I downloaded this pack and everything looks good, but I think the scatterer sun flare is offset from Valentine quite a bit. It looks fine from afar, but as you zoom into the star, the issue becomes apparent. I have only tested for a few minutes to ensure my Sigma configs were working, but this was immediately obvious to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I know I have this problem with stars that are far away from the sun, where the sunflare jiggles around or is offset from the rest of the star. However, when you get close enough the star, the sunflare snaps back to where it is supposed to be. Can you test and see if the same thing happens when you are in the SOI of Valentine. Thanks for testing Extrasolar out for me. I haven't had the time recently to give as much love to my KSP mods because I've gotten slightly distracted making my first mod for Skyrim.

Getting closer doesn't snap it into place for me. I have messed with Kerbal StarSystem, which has many stars further out than yours, and they don't have that issue.
