Hello.

Specifically, the question is in reference to [ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3886]Dansteph's DeltaGlider IV-3[/ame] docked to either [ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6440]VSFX's ICV[/ame] or [ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6216]Loru's Hyperion HCLV-S-DG[/ame]:

Once the DGIV is either successfully docked to the orbiting ICV, or mounted as payload onto the HCLV-S-DG, how do you get it to stay docked/mounted in its current state when you leave Orbiter?

Whenever I perform either of the above and leave Orbiter, then restart the simulator again later - loading either the Current State, Quicksave, or Saved Scenario - the DGIV-3 is seen parked on the ground at the facility where I previously mounted it to the HCLV. In the case of the ICV scenario, the DGIV-3 is immediately undocked and slowly floats away from the ICV's docking port. I have to keep re-mounting the DGIV-3 to the launcher, or re-docking the DGIV-3 to the ICV as payload every time I load either saved scenario.

However, if I dock to one of the Orbiter default vessels (ISS, Mir, etc) the DGIV-3 stays put every time I exit and restart and is still docked, as desired.

So, how does one fix this situation?

Thanks!
