Happy to lend a helping hand. Appreciate the trust!

Got be 1 of my most used mods

Hi - was there a change recently to the "Resources" folder inside NearFuturePropulsion/Parts/Resources ?

I was trying to replicate my build and when I loaded up an old save to test, it said the parts 'gassspectrometer-01 were missing.

I was able to resolve the issue by manually copying those folders, but did I miss something in the install?

Thanks!

I think that the part might have been removed as it has been through a few updates sense 1.9.1 

Love Kerbal States BTW

Hello all, I'm hoping I can get some guidance using Near Future Exploration's reflector dishes. Sorry if this is an old question, but I've not used them before now.

Here's a Kerbol relay I'm designing, but I'm not sure if this is the correct way to use a reflector dish?

It says I need to "point" the relay at this, which I've done here. So it's not sufficient just to have the reflector dish attached to the craft, it needs to point the path (rendered above) at the actual reflector?

As far as the signal direction, does that matter? Like I need to have this pointing backwards towards Kerbin, etc.? 

Thanks for any guidance and assistance!

I think what you've done is adequate. The antenna signal path just has to touch the dish.

Signals are omnidirectional so there's no need to aim at Kerbin. I think another mod changes that behavior where you have to have two relays on a relay satellite, one pointing at your ship and the other at Kerbin, although if you are using that mod you would already know because it affects stock relays too.

To my knowledge, you are supposed to use one of the tiny antennas and use the dish to help minimize size and adjust performance easily

This is the intended use case.

Please stop trying to tell mod makers what they should and shouldn't do with their mods. Your choices are only to use the mod or not, but it's not up to anyone else to insist on how it should be done. 

Some comments removed.

No matter which color I choose for my 5-meter fairing, the color of the fairing body is still gray
I don't know if this is a bug or a file issue
And I didn't find any white texture on the 5-meter fairing in the downloaded lunch vehicle file

May I ask where there are 3.75-meter and 2.5-meter Rocket cargo bays similar in style to this mod
This is important for single stage VLVT
