Anyone got any big 1.2 antenna / dishes for 1.2 OPM?

If not, is it easy to do it myself? I have a decent understanding of coding from the past, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Look into ModuleManager, you'll want to copy an existing part and change antennaPower (in the ModuleDataTransmitter module), and probably also rescaleFactor, mass and cost. This will make a new part that uses the (rescaled) model of an existing antenna.

TweakScale might also do the job, but it only works correctly with direct antennas (and I'm not sure how the balance plays out with different size solar systems).

Ah! Ok, sounds simple enough to me! Thank you! But another question... I also have Ven's Stock Revamp and by deleting the remade antennas, I got it running great. But the extra antenna / dishes he added aren't updated to 1.2 and only have a 500k antenna rating, so is it just the case of adding the 1.2 antenna code into the VSR dishes?

Nvm, I tried that and worked perfectly! I even made a bigger 88-88 with a stronger connection, and even managed to change it's texture from orange to blue! Thanks!

the dmmagic oversize science make really good dishes like that. they are yuuuuge.

@CaptRobau said that he's working on some configs for stock antennas to address this. Check out in the last two pages of the OPM thread

Seriously, its a really, really big dish. I love that 1.2 gives me an excuse to use it!
