1. Do you have EC?

2. Can you collect Karbonite on the ground?

3. Are you using the latest version (to include overwriting any ORS install and removing ORS and Karbonite beforehand

4. Are you on KSP 0.24.2?

1. have loads of EC

2. yeah can collect on the ground fine.

3. on the latest version. (removed ORS and Karbonite before reinstalling with latest version)

4. On latest version. 0.24.2

every part works apart from the particle collector. (Atmospheric one works fine)

I'm totally stumped here :)

Will my radial air scoop be in the next release? :)

I need to scale it a bit and do a bit of rework, although preference would be for you to do some iterations on it :)

Some recommendations btw - needs more 'stuff' (the sides slope away from the mounting surface... why? There should be some mechanical/structural reason for that). Also need some way to keep the grills from clipping into something (or gaps) in the model if it sits flush. The texture lines for the racing stripes should also be a bit more 'crisp'.

Downloaded the dev 0.0.9 package. Extracted it to a new game instance (0.24.2 32bit)

Having the same problem with Scooped Air. Opened engines configs & changed:


MODULE
{
	name = ORSModuleAirIntake
	scoopair = 0.25
	autoActivate = false
}

to


MODULE
{
	name = ORSModuleAirIntake
	scoopair = 0.25
	autoActivate = true
}

No problem with this resource now.

Btw. the models are awesome!

So you want it to go vertically off of the mounting surface, I did it because I thought it would give more intake surface. On the scale, I never got the final version into KSP to test it with that so it was probably a bit wonky. I will make the stripe less blurred. Thanks for the tips.

Fixed in the next release which is uploading now ;)

I guess another way of putting it is that I am having problems understanding the orientation - I assumed the stripe was on top? The top has a larger plane than the base. What I do a lot is google and look at real world examples for inspiration, which helps :) Good example is the first draft of the karbonite detector and the new one I did last night.

And once more:

landing gears ond frame dont work with deatful gear key and cat ad it to groups in VAB

yeah, that's because they're technically not lander legs as far as KSP is concerned. For now they do the job of keeping the vessel from hitting the ground. We'll get around to doing lander leg part eventually. :D

You're welcome.

Actually, they do have action group toggles. They are not landing gear, so they are not tied to the landing gear key - just bind the action of your choice to the gear action group in the VAB. This is because if turned into landing gear the UI looks pretty foul as it shows quadrupled options because there are four legs.

FYI - next up is the converter for Xenon Gas (and will move monoprop to it), and possibly a large radial tank as those are not on the list yet. Plus anything else that arrives in time. Once I have nertea's last bits we'll be ready for 0.1.0 :)

Keep testing and thanks :)

Awesome! The big thing to remember is that it has to be able to be radially attached, and that a lot of times our survaces can be curved or flat to varying degrees, so anticipate a little bit of it will be clipped into what it's attached to.

Yep - or along those lines. Note how it's intake is elevated above the curved fuselage?

Now let's Kerbel it up... Karbonite is terrifying and explosive. The models are about grilles, fins, and power. So emellish a bit. Like, what if we mashed it up with images of a hot rod engine blower?

Then add all of the pipes and meshes and greebl-y bits... maybe a supercharged version?

there no .dll in the updated foldoer is that correct or we keep the old .dll in the karbonite folder?

Correct - I moved it so that all USI DLLs are in the same place, since this shares stuff with other mods and vice versa.. and it was getting weird ;)
