Fixed Solar Panels

[acr_8133]

Is there a mod or config that disables sun tracking for the solar panels? 

[OrdinaryKerman]

Why though?

sometimes i just want them on a specific angle and them clipping to other parts when rotating looks weird

look in the thread "community module manager patches" - there is a patch there IIRC

also this might also do it:

this should be close, will affect ALL solar panels

Spoiler

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleDeployableSolarPanel]]:FOR[me]
{
    @MODULE[ModuleDeployableSolarPanel]
	{
	    @sunTracking = false
    }	
}

I suspect he wants to get them on a specific angle and then disable the tracking.

Been a while since I've even used TweakableEverything, but it should do the trick:

Quote

• Solar Panel/Radiator Sun Tracking Toggle

Note that TweakableEverything does change a lot,so all he really needs for this are the following:

• TweakableSolarPanels.dll
• TweakableSolarPanels.cfg

and delete the other dlls and cfgs from the folder

thanks everyone!

You can edit the .cfg file for the solar panel you want, change the 'sun tracking = true' into a 'false'.
