Deathsoul097: correct, but you will also need to change the node lines. "Multiply in" the rescaleFactor, so if it said

node_foo = 0.0, 2.0, 1.5, blah blah

change it to

node_foo = 0.0, 2.5, 1.875, blah blah

Forgive me if its already been mentioned or talked about but whats the status of the ISS pack, i would love to see that finally be 100%?

[Kerbal01]

Yogui87 is finishing it up.

Yogui87 is finishing it up.

Meaning his parts or the whole thing? I knew there were a few people working on it.

[BrutalRIP]

So is the HOME 1 pod supposed to have rpm monitors because i (and others) have none

[K3-Chris]

Mylar texture on the expanding bits is pretty narly, looks pretty weird baking the "crinkled" look into the texture itself, would work better in the normalmap and specularmap than in the texture.

HOME2/3 parts are using the wrong node-size, at least for the top and bottom parts, using size 2 instead of the proper node size for 3.75m~ parts 3. Makes connections between parts like the HOME3 parachute, HOME3 base hub and the HOME3 pod decent module a lot weaker than they should be.

Also why this thread title? HOME3 or similar instead would be a lot more descriptive at least imho.

From the forum posts over there recently, Yogui is working on some additional (new) parts, Z1 truss, etc. Bobcat is rumoured to be overhauling the the rest of the truss structure. Dragon is acting as a great project manager as there seems to be a lot more inertia over there than there has been for quite some time.

I have an invisible parachute on the main pod it deploys and works but is not visible in game

[dtoxic]

hate to bump my question....is there a fix for the rover door and wheels spamming the log?

[Guest]

Never had this problem. Wheels use the stock system, but door is a bit of an odd case. Could you try a clean install with just the required mods? Also, which KSP version are you running?

i;am running 0.23.5 464 ARM

this is what i get

Let me re-iterate: HOME2/3 parts are using the wrong node-size, at least for the top and bottom parts, using size 2 instead of the proper node size for 3.75m~ parts 3. Makes connections between parts like the HOME3 parachute, HOME3 base hub and the HOME3 pod decent module a lot weaker than they should be.

Dragon do you have visible parachute on the main pod

[Guest]

Your concern is noted, thanks. Not need to re-iterate. Seeing as this is on the same page, you shouldn't be doing that, in fact. Will fix in the next update. I didn't have a lot of problems with it, so it's not a priority, and I'm busy with other things.

Try redownloading and reinstalling. I think I've fixed this. If I didn't, then you'll have to wait until 23th. I'm going to be really bogged down in the next two weeks, so expect no/few updates.

sorry dident mean to be a pain in the a** just wanna help make this mod good

[Guest]

Dragon do you have visible parachute on the main pod

Yes, I do. I have no idea why you wouldn't. Same deal as always, post the log, mod list, etc.

[Virtualgenius]

I have noticed one thing about the Tesla wheels and tires they are very fragile might need to beef them up a bit

[BrutalRIP]

is the HOME 1 pod supposed to have rpm monitors??

[Virtualgenius]

I figured it out the realchute MM config for the HOME parachutes is whats doing it, remove the MM config works as intended I will post in the real chute thread

Update: Stupid chris will update the MM configs on his next release

Home 1 came out well before RPM so i would guess it wouldnt have it however if someone wanted to create a stunning new IVA then it would

Ok I have been messing around with the configs for the descent stage and fixed the landing gear suspension if you change the values to whats listed it works quite nicely

suspensionSpring = 5

suspensionDamper = 2

Also the decoupler Icon for the engine of the ISM didnt really work for me. if you place the decoupler as the last module under all the engine stuff the icon will change to an engine you still need to setup an action group or right click to decouple, personally this should be replaced with a custom made decoupler. Dragon is there any chance Bobcat could knock one up if he has time and we can remove the decoupler option from the ISM cfg.

PS ( The JOOL V 2m decoupler fits perfectly and looks the part )

I am cross-posting this from the Bobcat Historical spacecraft thread. Although NOT updated, all of those parts mods are still available online. I assume that most of the parts still function properly.

I figured I would give this a bump for anyone who wants access to them.

Sorry, right-click/AGs always were how it was supposed to work. I'll change the suspension and the icon, but that's it. The ISM is supposed to decouple with an action group.

[Virtualgenius]

Thanks for the reply dragon is this going to get further development or is on hold till the release of the updated soviet and american pack and the ISS as it would be nice to have a green house for the new home 3 but i guess with those 3 pack Bobcat has a mountain of stuff to do

[Deathsoul097]

Well, could it be possible to make the decouple node be a docking node instead? That way, it can still decouple with an AG, will stage properly, and we get a proper DV readout in the VAB. Just an idea.

[Guest]

I'll ask BobCat the next time I mange to contact him. But not without a model change.

Why would the model need changing? I mean just use the top node as a dock node instead of a decouple node, not actually turn it into a docking unit. Just a little workaround, not something to seriously use.
