Default Control Point

[TheKurgan]

I have been trying for the last little while to add a command module to my Rail gun turret in KTech.... problem is turrets are Z forward, so the default control direction/point is pointing up at the sky.

With my config shown below, I can manually set the control point to forward either in the SPH, or in the flight scene, but the default control direction for the part points upwards.

    MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleCommand
        minimumCrew = 0
        RESOURCE
        {
            name = ElectricCharge
            rate = 0.03
        }
        hasHibernation = True
        defaultControlPointDisplayName = Default
        CONTROLPOINT
        {
            name = forward
            displayName = Forward
            orientation = 90,0,0
        }
    }

 

My question is, is there a way to set the default control point for the part to what I have in there as "forward"?

I'm going to take the lack of a response as "No"

Ah well...

Skimming through ModuleCommand, there doesn't appear to be something.  In the persistent file, there's an 'activeControlPointName' to remember which control point is active, but that doesn't look like a KSPField, so I doubt you can add that to the config file to set it to a non-default.  My guess is that you would need to modify the model in Unity to rotate it, or you would need a plugin that can override the default when a craft loads.

Yeah, I got my friend who created the model to rotate it for me

Thanks
