yetticonfetti Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) both have the same antenna, one communicates with only kerbin and the other doesn't communicate at all, I sent the relay up because the base is on the far side of the moon, but the relay just doesn't see it I guess? screenshot:file:file:///C:/Users/15038/OneDrive/Documents/220200_10.jpg Edited January 26 by yetticonfetti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your screenshot file can't be seen in that state. Needs a web link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spricigo Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Possible reasons for your relay not working may be: Wrong type of antenna Line of sight obstructed lack of a probe core in the relay satellite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymcgoochie Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Which antenna? How far apart are the vessels? Do you have the extra ground stations enabled or just the KSC? You may find that you need more than one of the early HG-5 relay dishes to serve as an effective relay around the Mun and Minmus as antenna power doesn’t stack linearly, but rather in an inverse logarithm - so each antenna added has progressively less of a benefit. If you click the icon in the top left to set it from the default “path” to “vessel links” or “network”, you’ll be able to see all the available connections.

If it lost power while you had direct control (as in you were flying it, doing orbital operations, and/or were set to it and time warped without a solar panel(s) to recharge it it could be without electric charge. If thats the case (no power that is) dont feel bad, happens to us all. Good luck 092102142025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
