Spaceplane Plus cargo bay

[KerikBalm]

So, now that SP+ is going to be stock, I've downloaded it, and the cargobay is the most interesting item for me... but placing things in there seems a bit... tricky...

It doesn't seem to have any decouple ability... if I place something in there, its basically just attached like any other part that attaches radially, no?

I've been able to put a decoupler pretty close to the centerline... but...its hard to get the symmetry right.

Does anyone have any tricks for placing things inside the bay?

Well, one I use Infernal Robotics so I can point things up out of the bay before deployment. But yes, you will need decouplers or docking ports if you want to remove something from the cargo bay. The best way to put something in there (if you want to use the nodes) is to take either the front or the back of the plane off and pick a view where you can see the node without it intersecting any part of the structure.

Use a stackable part (like the octagonal strut) to reach the exact center. Then attach whatever you want to that.

1) Install the Editor Extensions mod and disable radial attachment when hooking things to the end of the bay, or

2) leave a pair of mated docking ports permanently attached to one end, attach cargo to that.
