How do you add an attachment point to an SC3 vehicle?it seems the configs are in the vessels folder,what do I need to do to get this to work?

I believe you can add it via the .ini file or you can create a .cfg file with the class and module as spacecraft3 and add the cfg style attachment point there.

Hey TL8,are you going to release the yellow texture again in the future?.but I do like it white also,so it would be nice to 2 versions.Thanks for the answer.

You are going to have to ask Loru

In SC3 ini file you have to define proper attachment point.

I tugged sc3 vessel without problems

[CHILD_ATTACH_0]
NAME="T"
POS=(0,-0.75,4.0) 
DIR=(0,0,1) 
ROT=(0,1,0) 
LOOSE=0
ID="T"

Thankyou. I prefer the yellow skin too. :thumbup:

 

[Loru]

For all you guys PSD file - for main color all you have to do is to modify bottom layer.

Ok. Here I made a child attachment. But I can not attach. The towbar is attached to the rear.
I tried A and D and no attach. B/V switch the direction of the towbar. Which key select the attachemnt at the other end of it?

 

[tl8]

Are you in complex flight mode?
A should attach the vessel to the rear.

 

[Loru]

Also for me as you can see it works for child atachment not parent. On your attachment manager it's parent.

 

[gattispilot]

I have tried in complex and not complex. How can you tell if you are in complex or not complex though?
I switch to control Mode 0 and could attach. It just need to figure where the attachment needs to be.

added the attachment info in the cfg.

OK,I have the SC3 vehicle attached now,but 2 problems 1. the SC3 vehicle jumps in the air when being detattched,and 2.the towbar looks like it's on an angle,and not flat on the ground.

OK,I found a bug the white info line in the bottom left corner ,never goes away even when you switch vehicles.

 

[gattispilot]

The Jason attaches. but when releases it bounces. The line of info is seen also

 

[tl8]

Vessels bounce when the touchdown points are below the surface, adjust the attachment point up a cm or 2.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

The towbar will automatically adjust its angle so that the touchdown points of the child vessel are on the ground. This is taken off the attachment point position and the touch down point position

 

[gattispilot]

yes. But do I need to adjust the child point of the attached vessel so the towbar wheel are above the surface. I did and still bounce.

 

[tl8]

yes. But do I need to adjust the child point of the attached vessel so the towbar wheel are above the surface. I did and still bounce.

The child point on the vessel should be the centre of the nosewheel hub.
The towbar wheels are ignored when towing.

This dll should fix some of the issues you are having.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. This is what it looks like when the JAson is attached.

No line of info but still bounces

 

[tl8]

Try this attachment point in the JasonLEO:

[CHILD_ATTACH_2]
NAME="Towbar"
POS=(0,-2.5,5.2) 
DIR=(0,0.052336,0.99863) 
ROT=(0,0.99863,-0.052336)
