So we get this. Left side redone. I can thicken the bars across the tank
Based on renderings of the ALPACA (and the one made for Simple Rockets 2 here), the gaps are part of the solar panel design, so you can leave it there in placeWiden the panels to fit the caps?
I agree with the one configuration approach, especially if you plan on attaching the panels on the lander since if the vessel reconfigured anytime in-flight, the attachment points will be reset and the panels would be detached automatically. VesselBuilder does not recognize previously attached vessels if it was reconfigured in-flightNow that we plan to have one configuration. We can rethink the solar panels.
1. I can make them a vessel that gets attached.
2. Animation I can get the panels to fold in/out BUt the side rails I can't get them to follow the folding. To cheat. I can make them appear when fully expanded. and as the panel start folding they disappear. On the PPB for the gateway it is the same.

Have you opened up an MFD in glass cockpit mode then returned to VC afterwards?on the vc I made 2 cube. This is what I have set up on the vc. But not working? I have attached the vc mesh

I wonder: Is it now possible on Orbiter 2016 to have docked vessels while landed on the surface?Just a quick check of the scale and it seems about 10% smaller that the LER. keep that in mind when you do a cargo version. Be sure to add docking windows above the flight control stations. Great job so far.
You use scale animations. Take a look at the default HST source code which has scale animations for the solar arrays.Yes. I think the rollout Solar Array. But how to make it?
Maybe instead of windows, they might use a periscope instead (like the Soyuz and ATV) since the lander's docking system is designed to be automatic like the Orion wouldI haven't seen anything about docking windows. The top seem solid except the the opening around the dock itself.
