请问天和核心舱的那个柔性太阳能板叫什么啊？我在游戏里能找到天和核心舱的本体零件但是看不见那个太阳能板的零件。

Excuse me, what's the name of the flexible solar panel in Tianhe core module? I can find the body parts of the sky and the core module in the game, but I can't see the parts of the solar panel.

谢谢你，我现在就去！可以先透露下这个版本的天和太阳能板是和现实中一样金色的吗？因为我看前面那个神舟飞船mod里的天和太阳能板虽然大小合适但颜色是蓝色的感觉有些遗憾（哭），而NFS里的柔性板虽然是金色的但只有长号和短号而没有中号的就很尴尬。

Thank you. I'm going now! Do you want to ask if this version of sky and solar panels are as golden as in reality? Because it's a pity for me to see that although the sky and solar panels in the Shenzhou spacecraft mod in front of me are of them are of the right size, but the color is blue. Although the flexible panels in NFS are gold, they are only lon and short, but there is embarrassing that there is no medium.

看见天和太阳能板的部件了，感觉很棒是我想要的东西！。

1.但是提个意见，就是咱们这个天和太阳能板与其它部件连接的方式可以不用专门的node（接点），而是就和其他原版太阳能板一样直接附着在任意物体表面就能连接可以吗？我发现咱们这个太阳能板必须要部件上有node才可以连接。如果只是适配本NTCA的天和核心舱零件那无可厚非，但是如果是想用在其它舱体上的话那就必须再加一个转接头才行，这样不仅很麻烦而且会增加总part数（多了2个）。

2.还有发现这个太阳能板分为左和右两块，感觉其实没有必要因为根据ksp太阳能板的原理虽然在制造车间里对称连接的太阳能板是一正一反，但实际在游戏里太阳能板会自动两面朝向太阳方向。

一点小建议~

Seeing the parts of the sky and solar panels, it feels great. It's what I want!

1. But the suggestion is that the way we connect solar panels to other components on this day can be connected without a special node (connection), but directly attached to the surface of any object like other original solar panels? I found that our solar panel must have nodes on the components to connect. It's understandable that it's just adapted to the Tian and core module parts of this NTCA, but if you want to use it on other cabins, you have to add another adapter, which is not only troublesome, but also increases the total number of parts (2 more).

2. It is also found that this solar panel is divided into left and right. I don't think it's necessary because according to the principle of ksp solar panels, although the solar panels symmetrically connected in the manufacturing workshop are positive and negative, in fact, in the game, solar panels will automatically face the sun on both sides.

A little suggestion~

虽然我们考虑过只做一个太阳能板，但是总有一些人是强迫症嘛。所以我们选择保留了两个

haha行吧，不过实机测试一个太阳能板也可以对称放置，也不是啥大事~

Haha, okay, but the real machine test of a solar panel can also be placed symmetrically, which is not a big deal~

对了这是我目前的作品，想跟你分享一下~

By the way, this is my current work. I want to share it with you~

这是实际效果图和二期工程，你的这个太阳能板帮大忙了！有了合适大小和发电量的太阳能板我的三号四号仓都可以优化设计减少part~

This is the actual rendering and the second phase of the project. Your solar panel has helped a lot! With solar panels of the right size and generating capacity, my No. 3 and No. 4 can optimize the design and reduce part~

Waiting for CSS Wentian & Mengtian spacelab and other Chinese space LV and well-known probe like Chang-e 5 and Tianwen 1!!! I will make some donation for your MOD team.

I play on stock KSP.Why everything is now so big ? I have no RF installed,but parts are scaled up

If it is too big for you, please delete the "RealScalePatch" file in the NCAP\Compatibility\RealFuels path

[NateDaBeast]

[NateDaBeast]

Pretty solid mod, getting used to it. I hope the textures do improve in the future. If they reach Kerwis levels I'll be so happy. We've needed a proper chinese space mod!

The other mod linked to represent the Shenzhou and everything else is not the same size as this mod so makes it incompatible. The docking ports cant dock for example.

Also, how do you get the fairings to work? I've tried everything I could think of... The craft files are bugged too, the parts are weird.

I think you need to remove the "RealScalePatch" file in the “NCAP\Compatibility\RealFuels” path to fit the escape tower and fairings. Also, I am afraid you have to rotate the robotic arm on the Tianhe module for 180 degrees.
