The interstage shells aren't stageable and stay on the fairing base. Fairings should release when staged. Screenshots are appreciated. Yes, I think that's the problem. when I try to search for interstage shell parts nothing appears, only the fairings parts appear. What i'm trying to do is something like this, but the top of the fairing stays attached to the upper stage of the rocket and won't let the stages separate. The only way I have found is to increase the width of the fairing, but it is unsightly. https://imgur.com/a/DWZRbJM Edited August 29, 2023 by Adrianstu98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your interstage is successfully separating, but since it's 1 piece, it gets stuck inside the upper stage. Use at least 2 pieces so it clamshell deploys when staged. You will also need to increase the top diameter to match the upper stage diameter. It's a bit fiddly, so use the number input for fine adjustments.

salesv Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I am having a problem with the fairing base not decoupling, even though I have it enabled and am using one of the floating nodes: When I stage it some visual effects appear, but the fairing base stays intact: Am I using it wrong? Doesn't change whether actual fairings are present or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was intended, my idea was to show that the fairing base doesn't decouple from the payload by attaching it like that and making it go with the craft. My expected result would be the base falling down after decoupling. Does this mean we can't make procedural fairing's base separate from payload like stock fairings do with decouplers?

Grem Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Doesn't work in 1.12.5. I can’t assign the fairing jettison through the action group, there is no way to reset it, either manually or automatically, for example through the Gravity Turn mod. Is this mod no longer supported?

BlindSniper0393 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 There is a problem that the fairings are very fragile. It always breaks off when my rocket reaches a certain speed for gravity turning, and I still haven't found a way to reinforce it, even the KJR . So are there any ways to solve this ?

In case you are using KJR Next -> be aware of the new settings that you can select (see description on first page). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnbvcxz Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 My fairing is split in half after 250m/s and it's like blooming, is there any cheat to turn this off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can set the "Rigid attachment" to "on" and the "Autostrut" to "Haviest Part" or "Root Part" to strengthen the durability of each part (in the Contextmenu of each part).

Justin2112 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I've been trying to use a set of payload fairings which have a diameter of 10 meters. No matter what I do they just keep falling off. I have KJR and I have autostrut and rigid attachment enabled. After spending a few days on this rocket design I do not want to have to not use it just because of problems with its fairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After spending a few days on this rocket design I do not want to have to not use it just because of problems with its fairing I'm having the same exact problem. But with any fairing at all, one side simply just immediately "fails" on launch and eventually falls off, usually destroying the rocket somewhere during the ascent. Increasing the rigidity of the fairings makes no difference. Auto strut makes no difference, hell ,even manually strutting the fairings makes no difference. This started happening out of nowhere during my career save. Update: disabling auto strut on the fairing base seems to have fixed it, as per what themaster401 said. Thanks!

siimav Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 @moyashiiis that with the PF version that was released a couple of days ago? Or an earlier version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the version you just mentioned. I remember updating it yesterday or something, and I also remember not having this problem previously, so.. would make the most sense.

Removes the KJR mod to narrow down the error. I do not use KJR and PF works as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siimav Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Can the weak fairing side connections be replicated with a stock-ish install? So preferably just ProcFairings and possibly KJR installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that it is not KJR. I tried removing it today (after the issue started happening in some crafts even while disabling auto-strut) and it still happens.

I've been testing this every once in a while when I try and get it to work, and I guess at a certain size threshold the joints just break. The weight/structural integrity doesn't seem to matter.
