Editing fairing size (height) in notepad craft file?

[ARS]

So... I got a massive payload that I want to send into space, it's not particularly wide, but it's extremely tall, so tall that I had a difficulty building fairing for it since VAB space is not enough for me to build the fairing. Is there any way to edit fairing height by using notepad on craft file? How to do it? And is there a limit of how long I can build it?

Thanks

Would this help?

Yes, easily (more on this later), no.

Find the procedural fairing part. It has a procedural fairing module with some numbers like radius and height. Just edit those and you're good to go.

I'm already used hangar extender, but it makes me difficult when an extremely tall fairing is mated with launch vehicle since I can't clearly see the staging parts and adding parts to the rocket

Stock fairings can be as tall as you'd like; your vessel is just too tall to build it.  This is easy to fix:

1. Use the Offset Gizmo to drag your Root Part down, so that the fairing base is near the floor of the VAB

2. Build your fairing.

3. Use the Offset Gizmo to drag your Root Part back up, so the bottom of the rocket is above the floor of the VAB.

4. Profit! Launch.

HTH, cheers!
