If the existing orion parts get deleted from reDIRECT then it would break the compatability with the mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unfortunately all renditions of it are literally fan-fiction) Yes, I have a half-length version of the service module that should make for a decent LEO Orion/Orion Lite.

Giancarlo Kerman Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 there appears to be a glitch with the Kj10 Viking engine every time I place it on either the Orion or the shuttle, it just vanishes and I can no longer click any other parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shaftoe Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 The RCS nozzles and solar panels look like they're still going to be separate parts, so that shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the solar panels themselves, but the 4 pegs that they lock into that are places around the panel (best seen on the fifth image).

Doc Shaftoe Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Oooooooooh I see them now. Huh, can't believe I didn't notice them before. Yeah I'm not sure about that. Benjee loves his subvariants though so who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pegs are part of the solar panel part and can indeed be toggled off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1124max Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I'm loving the new Orion mod, thank you. One suggestion for your consideration though I would recommend moving the SM aero panel nodes to the SM to allow for compatibly with SLA type adapters.

Idea is to make it quite simple but relatively easy for someone to config to RPM/MAS if they wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingSpecial Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 What will be the top radius of Orion? 0.9375 for your docking port? Or 1.25 for more standalone approach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
