DaGinger Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I am fairly new at this and love it. I have a few questions and comments. As many of you are extremely educated and focused in the field of spacecraft and how this game models them and are also adept at coding and modifying code that has already written, I turn to you for advice. I currently use MechJeb and it helps me considerably. I also have NovaPunch's mod as well (frikkin sweet) and I am attempting to use the PowerTech, RemoteTech, Zoxygen, EPS, and Kethane mods. i congratulate all the men (women?) that have taken the time to write, model, and share these mods. I am having a bit of trouble with the satellite network relay system from The_Duck. I have launched a few satellites into orbit and they are stable and in my tracking center. When I attempt to use the remote capsule I always get an "Out of Contact" on the relay message. When I check the pathway on the map there is no connection to KSC even with serveral satellites in view and oriented properly. I am attempting to use the Powertech Communications Satellite with the auto orient and auto solar panels.Are powertech and remotetech not compatible? Do I need to add a different antenna or dish? Do I need to edit a .cfg file to do this? If I need to edit a .cfg please let me know detailed instructions because I am not as adept as some people with coding.If more information is needed to determine where I am messing up let me know and I will attempt to deliver the necessary intel.Thanks folks!DaGingerThis is just my first issue, there will be more to follow...I cant wait for .17!!!

sal_vager Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hi DaGinger, welcome to the community It might be best to ask in the respective threads, in case others have had the same issue, or even search those threads for your problem to see if it has come up.If you think the two mods may be interfering, try removing Powertech and see if that helps.

DaGinger Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 I thought about that but the "How To" section I figured would be my best bet. I will start removing and adding components as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibb31 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Also, make sure any Remotetech pods or modules always have an antenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 DaGinger, MechJeb and RemoteTech don't place nice with each other. They kick and scratch and even bite. If you want to have your remote network, you need to remove mechjeb. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martonaut Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I think power tech and remote tech are not compatible. if they are I didnt get it to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsalis Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I use MechJeb and RemoteTech together without a problem.My advice?Try using RemoteTech by itself without PowerTech to make sure you are using it right. If it still don't work, then ask The_Duck about that in his RemoteTech thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
