Problem Ranger lunar probe

[rseferino]

Hello my friends. I pretended it was a surprise, but my first add has had problems and I need help.

I am working with an add on the Ranger probes (Block I, II, and III) Block I (Ranger 1 and 2) I have no problems because it works including the animations.


Block I

Block II (Ranger 3, 4, and 5) is where I have a problem. The probe has 3 parts: Bus, retrocohete for lunar descent and the landing capsule (nicknamed Tonto). Block II is a multi-part probe.

The specific problem is that I can join the retro-rocket to the bus, but by pressing "j" to separate, the retro-rocket appears hundreds of meters from the bus.



The add-on is for Orbiter 2016.

I think it might be because you are using SC4 with Orbiter 2016....

You could try it as a script vessel, but I don't know if there's support for key presses yet.

 

[gattispilot]

What are you calling the retro rockets?

 

[4throck]

The OP mentioned "retrocohete" and that means retrorocket in spanish.

Thanks, I'll try it on a clean version of Orbiter 2016, this weekend. Yes, use SC4 with :thumbup:

Could you make it an attachment ?
