I'd also like to test upgrading with old craft files to make sure it is not a save-file breaking update Hey akron, It's OK, take your time! I'm just very happy with your very good mod!

Bombaatu Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hey - just curious if you're planning to make a version of ScanSat's multi-spectral scanner for biome mapping... ? (please, please?!?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jso Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Fomalhaut decoupler (CAE-D13-F Stack Decoupler) is bothering me. It works fine for mounting Fomalhaut on a Vorona, but if you try to use it as a regular stack decoupler it doesn't work. A. It has a top node, but that node doesn't decouple, the lower node_stack_fomal does. B. The lower node_stack_fomal node also interferes with the bottom node when you try to attach a slim part like a fairing base to the bottom. It catches the bottom node of the fairing base rather than the top. You could probably get this to work more as expected with a second bottom node on the heatshield positioned higher, and just the normal two nodes on the decoupler. While we're on the subject of nodes, I've never gotten the Torekka dish's struts to appear. I can't for the life of me connect to that other node. "NOTE: When mated to a 'Torekka' probe, utilize the antenna's top attachment node to enable its struts." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed it too, but I forgot to add it to my to-do. Quote While we're on the subject of nodes, I've never gotten the Torekka dish's struts to appear. I can't for the life of me connect to that other node. "NOTE: When mated to a 'Torekka' probe, utilize the antenna's top attachment node to enable its struts." The nodes are very close together. I rotate to a flat angle in the editor to help line them up, then again I know what to expect since I made the part. I also noticed this but decided not to change to not break people's existing crafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you noticed something, a more constructive statement is much more appreciated. And if you're referring to the texel density on the UV spec, this is because I ran out of texture space.

akron Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Update Github updated. This should be the last RC release pending bug fixes. A couple of parts were changed from using the fairing module to toggle mesh pieces, to using FS mesh switch. This will become more common from here on out. It took me over an hour to track down a bug with it, but TRIXIE is completed and in-game There is an optional foil cover with material switching to give more variety and in preparation for the New Horizons probe core coming in a later release. @Jso I had issues fixing the decoupler. I found an uglier workaround, which was to add a second decoupler module so now each node has its own. Let me know if this is working for you as well now. @Bombaatu The Multispectral imager you asked about is now ready for testing, go check it out on Github EDIT: Sample craft image ~cheers Edited April 13, 2017 by akron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of parts were changed from using the fairing module to toggle mesh pieces, to using FS mesh switch. This will become more common from here on out. The Vorona alternate solar panels (CAE-E300 Vorona Solar-Thermal System) don't center under the cursor in the VAB and are difficult/unusable. Not just a little, it's way off. Is it possible to adjust the collider on top of the Vorona tank so Formalhaut is not clipping? With ejection force set to zero they separate forcefully due to that. Starting and stopping the SCANsat scan doesn't trigger the animation on the TRIXIE. Perhaps your SCANsat configs should delete the ModuleAnimateGeneric in those parts since SCANsat provides an interface to extend/retract, or Activate... The Laser! as the case may be. You end up with two buttons for triggering the animation. Combining the Imaging Data experiment with the SCANsat sensor on TRIXIE might be a bit much - maybe.

The Laser! as the case may be. You end up with two buttons for triggering the animation. I agree. I can add it to the MM config Quote Combining the Imaging Data experiment with the SCANsat sensor on TRIXIE might be a bit much - maybe. This is actually how it is in DMagic Orbital Science and keeps the part count a little lower. Good feedback, sir. If you can, will you create some issue reports in Github, if not I can try around lunch later today. @DiscoSlelge There was never an older version of that solar panel. I released it ready and with its texture from the start. Hmmm. Try updating with deleting the existing Coatl aerospace folder instead of overwriting, if you havent already.
