I am loving the look of this mod, the level of detail and quality are amazing.

I do have one small gripe though, in FAR the Orion capsule wont maintain a heat shield first decent, I know that you have FAR MM configs, but even with those it still flips out.

However I believe there may be a solution. I ran into this same problem with the Mk1-2 pod from Vens Stock Part Revamp and it had to do with the "shroud" on the bottom of the pod when you attach something there. It would always cause the pod to act really weird with FAR, remove it and everything works fine.

Is there any chance you could please remove the shroud and make it an actual decoupler part? It doesn't have to animate or anything like the SDHI mod, but as long as it is a separate part then the pod behave fine with FAR.

I really hope you will consider doing this, I really want to use your Orion set up in my game.

In the future, the Bobcat sourced Orion model will be replaced with a bespoke model produced by NOS Technologies, LLC. It's not ready yet, because we are committed to it being perfect in every way. When that system is ready, legacy issues such as that (and many others) will not exist. In the mean time, we ask that you help out by using SAS to keep Orion stable :D

yo do u guys plan on making an IVA for the Orion?

Yes, per above

Awesome! Definitely looking forward to that. I did try using SAS and even added a bunch of RCS jets to it but still can't keep it pointed in the right direction. As for now I have modified the Taurus HVC capsule and the additions added by Aerojet Kerbodine to provide the same functionality as the Orion and am using that as my late game crew transfer module.

Thank you and your teem for all the awesome work and am looking forward to later releases.

Your having trouble keeping the Orion straight ? If so did you check your log file or debug for any errors spamming the log ?

EDIT- Works great for me no problems

Yeah no errors, I am using FAR and K2 (2x size planets and solar system) Like I said in my earlier post it is usually due to a pod that uses a fairing on the bottom of it, has something to do with the coliders and how FAR views the part, in the last mod that had this issue when the author removed the fairing and made it a seperate part the problem was resolved.

The reason why even SAS can't keep it straight may possibly be due to the increased entry speeds and therefore increased aero forces due to the upscaled planets. For now I will use my modified Taurus capsule until the new release with the new Orion.

One more minor request/suggestion.

I don't know if you are planning on redoing the service module stuff for the Orion, but in regards to the NASA logo on the side of the fairing for the Service module, could you make that just the standard flag decal thing so it shows the flag for your space program/mission flag?

The NASA logo will stay :)

I thought I'd throw out the WIP Realism Overhaul Propulsion config. It's still quite broken, but the ARES V booster works great! Again, I will attempt to finish it soonâ„¢.

And as a general note, yes, I swapped the J-2 for the Common Extensible Cryogenic Engine.

EMLV I supports MTV with solar array

• Extra power for fitting out prior to NTR ignition, made nessecary by reduced in-transit solar capacity

• Docked module detaches prior to TMI (TDI)

MAN, the more I see this stuff, the more I can't wait for Wednesday to come!

I have made no promises regarding this "Wednesday" you speak of, however according to Gnarl, it is the name of a beast which roams these catacombs with teeth six inches long.

I was saying that because I will have access to Steam Wednesday and so I will be able to reinstall KSP and install this mod to it! (I can access Steam but I can't get in as my account info is trapped on my external hard drive and its power cord died. the new one comes in this wednesday...supposedly)
