bcink Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I've been trying to get my recreation of the BEAM module working with the CBM docking ports on this but it's nothing but failure on docking attempts. Seeking any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the advice. What ended up getting it to work was values of 0.99 and turning off gendering. No matter what I tried the dang thing just didn't want to work with gendering. I ended up deciding, based on advice from a bunch of devs to not have the docking port built-in to the module as to allow for compatibility with ALL docking ports out there. Perhaps I will release the docking port I created in the future, bundled or otherwise.... For the time being though, I ended up passing on it.

RW-1 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Nice mod! I love the realistic parts visuals and APAS is the best I've seen. I truly mean it, these are the parts to have to generate a terrific looking station, no offense meant to others out there. Questions, more of a use than issues. 1.3.1 ... I'm using space shuttle system, and running into issues trying to use these parts. - But how do I go about attaching the cxaero parts to the bay? It doesn't want to align and attach. - Do I use the cxaero grapple or the one that comes with the canadarm? - Can I use the APAS from Cxaero as well? I note the default APAS attached to the docking parts included with the mod, but nothing separate I can attach to modules, or I'm blind ... That's enough to chew on for now, launching Unity this PM .... hehehe ... UPDATE: Well strike that, don't know why, but now when on the pad, when physics eases in, its a crapshoot as to if I blow up, and the error is related to SSTUreflectionprobe ... I'm not sure how to correct this. Other dumb questions - how does one get a truss started on top of a module? (would like to get started building out, hence my shuttle selection but running into issues loading modules into it, see above) - Cant release canadaarm from the grapple, magnet off and unlocked, but it just sits there, ugh. Anyone with experience care to assist a newb to the mod scene? Thanks! Edited December 6, 2017 by RW-1 added stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RW-1 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Damn, this is frustrating. Using Space shuttle system, none of the CX parts wish to attach to nodes within it's cargo bay. Trying to install a Unity module, have offset a decoupler to allow centering of the module itself in the bay, but the part just rotates all over without "snapping" to it. Any thoughts?

See the spreadsheet, the mod isnt finished yet and there are missing parts. But nonetheless you can build your own ISS, and it will look awesome.

Kilo60 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Love this mod!!! Will any of the modded docking ports (active or passive), contained in this mod, work with the stock "Clamp-o-Tron ports? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawnDartLeo Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I am pretty sure if you read each object description they have their specific conjugate items that they can couple with, there are active and passive ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilo60 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Regarding the....: Pressurized Mating Adapter (PMA) Part... No matter what docking adapter I place on it (even the stock Clamp-o-trons) none of the docking ports work at all. It's really strange cause I can place any docking port on any other station part and they work fine including the docking ports that attach the Soyaz capsules to the station. As soon as I take the non functioning docking ports off the PMA and place them on something else they continue to decouple and couple as they should... Does anyone know what the issue could be? Is it something specific in the file of the PMA itself? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
