3.75m Docking port?

[SpaceLaunchSystem]

Is there a mod that adds a low-profile (NOT like KW Rocketry) 3.75m Docking Port? I've looked all over but can't seem to find one. I know KW rocketry has one, but it's a little, well, thick. I'm working on an (almost) stock Kopernikus DTV (Duna Transfer Vehicle) to take Jeb, Bob, and Bill to Duna for the first time!

Yes I have one in my signature. Without the plugin they work as regular ports, but those parts need updated textures because of a bug in the latest version of KSP. It works, but the textures might glitch.

What Plugin?

What Plugin?

Adaptive Docking Node. It's mentioned and linked in the thread, but you have to click the link to see it.

Alternative simple solution - make your own. Make a copy of the existing senior docking port and rescale it.

Simple steps -

1) make a copy of the part directory <path to KSP>/GameData/Squad/Parts/Utility/dockingPortSr as (for example) <path to KSP>/GameData/MySpecialParts/dockingPortHuge

2) edit the config file : change the name of the part in the line close to the top "name = dockingPortLarge" to (for example) "name = dockingPortEnormous" and optionally change the nodeType in the MODULE section lower down to something different if you want to make it only dock with another of the same size (if you leave it as size2 it will still connect to a senior port as well) .. and the important part, change the rescaleFactor from 1 to 1.55 to actually make it look the right size. Optionally increase the mass proportionally. Nothing else needs to be changed to make it functional, but if you're using it in career mode the costs figures should be increased to compensate.

3) profit!
