Project X-15, can't release

[W35M4N]

I am having trouble getting the X-15 to release from the B52 or B70 in the Project X-15 add-on. I am using the Shift+D module and have installed all the files, X-15 2.0, X-15 Delta 2.0 and Edwards and High Range. When I press Shift+D it doesn't release the X-15, whether I am focused on the carrier plane or the X-15. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Have you activated the "Release" MFD that's included with the addon? Are you using it?

If you're in the carrier plane, you can use Spacecraft3's default attachment system.

press a to activate.
and then I think shift + numb zero to release.

I think so, but do you know what the name of it is, so I could check?

I'll try that.

Its called ReleaseMFD-mouse and ReleaseMFD-shiftD. You activate them in the modules tab on the Orbiter launchpad.

I'll try that.

Yeah, for sure its: 'a' to activate payload manager, Shift + 'Numbpad Zero' to attach/release the payload.

It worked fine, and yes I was running the Shift+D mfd. I don't know why it didn't work, but I guess I'll just use A and Shift+0.

Just having it active in the modules tab isn't enough, you need to pull it up on either the left or right side MFD. The Project X-15 Docs will have takeoff instructions, which include the use of ReleaseMFD.

And be sure to use the correct 'version' of the mfd, I use the Mouse one. That one actually does something when you click the button, with the other one you need to remember a hot key thing.
