[1.0.2]FASA Launch Towers

[NathanKell]

1. Turn down engine exhaust heating in the engine.

2. Increase the maxTemp of the launch clamp (say, to 3600)

[Cuky]

thanks, I have increased maxTem on the launch clamps and now they do not explode. Problem now is that engine above them instantly starts to overheat and explodes after 1-2 seconds. I'll play with settings and see if something can be done for that

[frizzank]

may have to copy the radiator settings so the clamps dissipate heat better and not explode when exposed to rocket exhaust.

Is any one having a problem when you add the launch and umbilical tower to the rocket the rocket breaks apart. If anyone knows how to fix it, it would really help

 * Increased launch clamps and decouplers max temp drastically so they were less explody on separation.

Updated on Kerbal Stuff, if you have the latest FASA you have this update.

I am new to this mod, so I am not sure if what I am experiencing is a bug or just me being inexperienced with the parts in this mod.  The umbilical towers, as I understand them, are supposed to allow you to fuel your tanks and maintain electrical power to your vehicle, correct?  I have no issue with the electrical feature, but when I try to fuel my rockets, I cannot get the fuel transfer started.  Does the fuel transfer feature only work with FASA fuel tanks, or can it function with stock fuel tanks as well?  Is there a trick I am not aware of for getting the fuel to start?  I right-click the umbilical tower and click the "fuel on" button, but nothing happens.  What am I doing wrong?  Any help/training would be appreciated!  All the other parts in this mod work great, and I love the way my launch sequences look now with these parts added.  The umbilical tower is the only part that is giving me any issues. 

EDIT: I changed the fuel crossfeed from FALSE to TRUE on the umbilical towers.  Seems to have fixed the issue.

Found the solution to my problem myself

With KerbalStuff gone, where will this mod be hosted?

[steelthunder]

Kerbal Stuff is gone, please reupload.

[InfiniteAtom]

Can you please update this on CKAN? It wont let me install it via ckan because it uses kerbalstuff as a host. Also, I tried to remove the other content from FASA to get just the towers, but I'm unsure how to do this. If you do not want to update this via CKAN, can you provide an alternate download link? Yes, I know about the mediafire link. I put in mediafire in front of it and it says the account hosting the file has been suspended.

Technically speaking, pushing for updates is against the rules, strictly enforced by RedIronCrown.

[Calvin_Maclure]

Wasn't pushing, was inquiring since I don't know. There is a difference.

I understand, but if there was a 1.1 update, it'd say.

[Jacke]

If anyone wants the FASA launch clamps and towers, you can go to the main FASA topic (linked below) and download its current .zip (version 5.44).  Its launch clamps and towers are working for me in KSP 1.1.

For just the launch clamps and towers, extract and install the following 2 directories and their contents into KSP.

GameData/FASA/Misc/FASA_Launch_Clamp_125/

GameData/FASA/Misc/FASA_Launch_Tower/

 

[Murdox]

It just came to my mind that would be awesome to get only some additional launchtowers/clamps to 1.1 and there you are just 19h before me Mr. @Jacke! Thanks for this aweome tip * downloading 

[Whovian41110]

is it possible to reduce the ejection force of the launch tower?

[Calvin_Maclure]

Good day! Hope all is well. Will we see this updated for 1.2?? 

Cheers!

What needs to be done to get the launch towers going again.  Is it something I can do or will it need TLC from @NathanKell?

[Cheesecake]

Look at Bluedog Design. The FASA Launchtowers are included and works.

Yes, I believe ours are working currently. Feel free to rip out the edited cfgs and repackage them here for the standalone. I probably won't maintain the separate download.

That's great @CobaltWolf.  Thanks for doing that.

Of course! Last I heard there might still be some strangeness to the Umbilical tower.

[tg626]

The only thing I've observed is that if you switch view back to the pad and the towers haven't been "cleaned up" by the game, AND you have 2 or more overlayed on one another (to have multiple arms along your rocket) they displace from one another as if the colliders are "pushing" them apart.

AFAIK and IIRC they have always done that.
