New MK3 IVA

[OrianCEV]

I noticed the new MK3 parts have no IVA's, can anyone make one for it with rasterprop integration and such?

I guess one could use the IVA from the similar looking B9 Cockpit, would fit quite nicely.

[OrianCEV]

I'm not exactly sure how to set that up correctly.

[Mecripp]

I just use the MK2 for it.

1, RPM is currently broken in 0.90, last I heard. This means the B9 cockpit won't be fully functional. It'll exist but the RPM screens won't work as intended.

2,

@PART[mk3Cockpit_Shuttle]:NEEDS[B9_Aerospace]
    {
        @INTERNAL
            {
            name = B9_Cockpit_HL_Internal
            }
    }

That should make the Mk3 cockpit use B9's HL IVA.

[OrianCEV]

thanks for the help.

Although, could you tell me were I should place the file for the IVA?

[michaelsteele3]

Perhaps they will re-add it in the next update?

[BudgetHedgehog]

That should be saved as whateveryouwant.cfg (make a new txt file in Notepad, copypaste those contents into it and save it as a cfg) in the Gamedata folder and ModuleManager will catch it. Obviously you'll need B9 installed (or at least the Spaces folder in B9) though that patch should only work if you have B9 already. You don't need to muck around with any other files or IVAs, just that block of text as a cfg file. I haven't tested it mind you, but it should work.

thanks, This'll hold me until they make an official IVA for it.

It didn't seem to work, what do I need to change in the .cfg file of the MK3 craft file itself?
