[1.0.2]FASA Launch Towers

[leops1984]

A question to everybody else: is the 2.5m launch clamp looking a bit small and mispositioned?? This is what it looks for me:

Not getting it on the 1.25m version.

I have the same issue. Thee were scaling issues after the .25 update, it's probably that.

I have the same issue. Thee were scaling issues after the .25 update, it's probably that.

MM Fix:

@PART[FASAlaunchClamp25]:Final
{
    @scale = 1.0
    @rescaleFactor = 1.8
}

[frizzank]

Yea the rescale factor does not work as you may think I will fix it properly in the next update...

[CatastrophicFailure]

Ahhh I missed these things. Kept forgetting to reinstall them.

Is there any way they could be made to automatically inhibit engine shrouds?

[frizzank]

negative, not without a custom plugin to do so...

[hakan]

Seeing that you updated (or marked compatible) the main FASA archive to 0.90, would you mind terribly to create fresh release of the Launch Towers too? Perhaps also with version "5.00" so the full archive and "just the clamps" are in sync?

[ApostleThirteen]

hAVE YOU UPDATED THIS TO KERBALSTUFF? tHE CKAN IS NOT SHOWING IT...

[frizzank]

now updated on Kerbal stuff, has new toggle-able fuel pumps

ProceduralFairings somehow do it for their interstage adapter. You may want to look into it.

You'll get floating engine tho, woithout anything visibly supporting the rocket.

[Jumpyyoza]

Does this work with 0.90?

[Antman68]

Yes sir, no problems at all for me in v0.90.

[SmashBrown]

Ooh another mod to cram in. Thanks for this!

[VolatileBullfrog]

In mission control I've been getting the occasional contract to test a FASA tower while in orbit or at altitude or the like, something other than landed at Kerbin. Is this intended or have I stumbled into a bug? I can't imagine how I'd get a tower into orbit... Is there some way to restrict contracts for these parts to 'landed' only?

[frizzank]

Yea thats a new one. I thought it would filter out things with launch clamp on them but I dont know how to limit it. I know you can decline the contract and it will generate a new one.

[Jumpyyoza]

Doesn't work, i downloaded, extracted it to Gamedata and none of the launch clamps appeared in the part selecting thing. Any suggestions?

[BudgetHedgehog]

Then you installed it wrong. Should be Gamedata\FASA\Misc\FASA_Launch_Clamp_125 and FASA_Launch_Tower.

[Jumpyyoza]

I installed it correctly the file structure looked like that but i have a feeling it has something to do with Linux maybe?

[Doctor Blood]

Kerbal engineers take pains to ensure that all components of the launch system are tested rigorously in a variety of environments.

More seriously, is there a config setting to prevent these parts from showing up in contracts?

[frizzank]

Ah yes there is they added it with the contracts to prevent this sort of thing. I will add it in the configs in the next update...

MODULE

{

name = ModuleTestSubject

// nowhere: 0, srf: 1, ocean: 2, atmo: 4, space: 8

environments = 1

useStaging = True

useEvent = False

}

[Artifex]

I am having the same problem. The tower immediately retracts when my craft loads on the launchpad.

Same problem, but I have over 30 mods so it'll be hard to track down the problem. From what I can tell, the clamp isn't actually attatched to the world, and is a free floating entity in space.

I'll show you a picture so you can see what I mean:

-------------

407.9 m/s is orbital speed because I have Realism Overhaul installed, as this was one of their recommended mods.

It either doesn't know its attached to the ground, or Earth has a ....ing crazy Mach 1 wind storm blowing constantly.

I've looked through the config files, and there doesn't really seem anything I can change there to fix it. The launch clamp and the stability clamp holding the pod should work exactly the same minus the animation right?

Very confusing.

[NathanKell]

Please don't post asking for support when using RO in non-RO threads. Please post in the RO thread. Partmakers kindly let us tweak their parts, on the condition that they don't get bugged for support.

[xXIndestructibleEVAXx]

I have a problem where, with the launch clamp, I can't EVA or transfer kerbals from the launch clamp to anywhere. Is this a bug? What Am I supposed to do? Am I using them wrong?

EDIT: Just removed the only mod I could think would cause something like this, connected living space. Did nothing. Tried Launching the crew in a seperate vehicle and driving them to the rocket to board the launch clamp, then the rocket. As soon as they entered the tower, they disappeared. Not in the capsule, and there was no indication of being in the clamp other than TAC showing their names. What did I do wrong?

Left click on the elevator door at the top of the tower.

[xXIndestructibleEVAXx]

Ok. I tried right clicking, didn't even think of left-clicking.
