I don't know... didn't go into details after he reported, that I should come with a new pull request after changing parts of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getsome2030 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 My opinion! Rudolf Meier is spending many hour of his time developing a mod so that for us players get to enjoy and improve on KSP game play and and I'm great full for that. Why do people keep going on about compatibility issues with other mods that a minority use? For those that haven't worked it out yet the vanilla game itself has options to overcome the issues that people use the other mods for. Look at the options menu and read about the features of the game? The whole thing is time consuming and nonproductive to the development of this mod, my suggestion to Rudolf is to take on Rover Dudes attitude, If it doesn't work with other mods, its not my problem. Make the mod compatible with the core game and don't try to make the minority happy or you will never get it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getsome2030 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) One mod too many and its a mod that the previous developers warned people not to use with IR. in vanilla ksp the auto strut feature dose the same thing and you also have the option NOT to auto strut IR parts.

I cannot load this... TPtank something is missing... is this a new part in 1.4.2? or do you use the DLC? I'm testing (and playing) without that... and I haven't switched to 1.4.2 yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackline Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) all yes, DLC and 1.4.2, and maybe the fuelTanksPlus, i guess thats whats missing. But (for my setup at least) any chopper configuration explodes.

Blackline Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Did that, it just turns around nicely. The problem is the rotatron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackline Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I put my rotor on a fixed base with wheels instead on a rotatron. I had no IR parts included, and no explosions. If i put a rotatron between the fixed base and the rotor, funny stuff happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this error is only in this cfg, all others are correct)... because of that the bool (1 bit) is not set and that's causing the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an unlocked joint!"), then everything is locked. I don't know if the problem is a bug in the treatment of unlocked joints or if it is just for legs... but I'm almost sure it's not an IR bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the problem is a bug in the treatment of unlocked joints or if it is just for legs... but I'm almost sure it's not an IR bug This kind of thing started to happening since KSP introduced autostruting of landing legs for the first time. Only way to avoid it to have this in mind and construct craft in a way that landing leg autostruting does no put struts between movable and static IR parts. Placing parts out of symmetry can help in some cases too (placing one landing leg at a time). Other than that, not much can be done, only option is to not use stock landing legs and landing gears. USI MKS landing legs does not do autostruting as well as landing gears from Kerbal foundries mod. Probably some other mods too, but those two are first ones I can recall from top of my head.

Yes, but... it should still not autostrut over unlocked joints. They are internally asking every part if it is ok to autostrut over this part, but seem to do it wrong... Edit: I have checked that and it is a KSP bug. (I made the same when I was working on KJR... that's why I fully understand this problem ). Report is out... lets see what they say...
