General Question Station building blocks solar panels

[andysim]

Hey im having lots of fun atm building a station using SBB41 using the XR5 to launch componets.

However im not sure how to fit the solar panels as I can't select them in scenario editor the only solar panel there is BP101 and when I create it the orbiter program crashes to desktop. There should be BP102 103 104 and BSPC7 but they are not on the list.

I noticed they use the spacecraft3.dll which i have and is upto date so Im wondering if that might be someing to do with it. All the other modules seem to work ok though.

Also I can run the station scenario that came with the download and everything works.


Thanks for your advice in advance.

you run the animated components scenario for the animated parts

What I have been doing if I need animated station parts is a simple copy/paste in my space station scn and then use the scn editor to move them to the same location as my XR5. Then I use the grapple from the payload manager to place it in the bay ready for orbiting and finally assembly... I was going to post a picture of my station but I overwrote it by accident... How about yours.... wanna post a pic?

The scenario editor can not spawn SC3 ships. As HiPotOk1978 suggested, you need to edit them into your scenario by hand. Once that is done, you can handle them with the scenario editor like any other ship.
Those blocks that are based on SC3 all have animated parts. And to write a DLL for them would be overkill.

Happy Orbiting
