Advanced Question Falcon 9 paint

[barrygolden]

Looking for some help to update my Falcon9 with dragon 2nd stage paint job

Hi Barry,
if you have the latest Falcon 9 for Orbiter2016 (version 240524), then you can add the following line to your Falcon9 .cfg file

For NASA logo on 1st and 2nd stage:

NASASkin = 1

For NASA logo on 2nd stage only:

NASASkin = 2

Cheers,
Brian

where is the Falcon 9 cfg file

 

[BrianJ]

Check the Falcon9 vessel entry in the scenario you are using for the path to the relevant .cfg.
Or just post the scenario here.

here you go

Not seeing anything. Try again?

OK, so from the scenario , this is your Falcon9 vessel entry:

Falcon9:Falcon9R_V12\f9_v12_drg2
  STATUS Landed Earth
  POS -80.5771995 28.5619578
  HEADING 10.00
  ALT 41.199
  AROT 148.742 -8.484 -5.118
  ATTACHED 0:0,Strongback
  AFCMODE 7
  PRPLEVEL 0:1.000000 1:1.000000 2:1.000000
  NAVFREQ 0 0
  FAIRS 1
  SOST 0 0 0 0 1 0 1
  SOPR 0.9424778 200000.0 400000.0 23000.0 120000.0 OCISLY 1.5708
  LOTM 19 22 45 1 0.0000
NASASkin = 1
END

I see you tried to add the NASASkin = 1 line to the scenario, but you need to add it to the .cfg file, not the .scn file.
So, delete it from your scenario.

The first line in the vessel entry tells you the vessel name and .cfg file.
Falcon9:Falcon9R_V12\f9_v12_drg2

So you need to locate your Orbiter / Config / Vessels / Falcon9R_V12 / f9_v12_drg2.cfg file.
Add the NASASkin = 1 to it.

Good luck,
Brian

Remove the semi-colon ;
in front of the NASASkin =1 line

thanks Brian that looks super. I think NASA or Space X put some logos on all of there Falcon 9 launches or at least the manned missions.

Next issue is to remove the Shuttle tower and replace it with the new Space X one

Install LC39A SpaceX
Follow the installation instructions in the Doc carefully.

thanks for the heads up really looks super. Is there a way to retract or deploy the access arm and do you have LC 40

Switch focus to "Strongback", press B.

LC-40 included with Falcon9 add on.
