Is there a way to edit a config file of a spacecraft to add fuel and RCS to it? If yes, how do you do it and what do you edit? Thanks.:thumbup:

I don't know about the normal config files, but for sc3 vessels, you have to edit the "Attitude_Thrust" part, and the "Fuel_MASS" part. I may be wrong though, I'm no expert :p

Thanks but I need RCS on the normal configs.

MaxAttitudeThrust = thrust in newtons. Make sure there is a fuel source. :tiphat:

If you want a reference, Config\Vessels\carina.cfg has nearly everything a config vessel can have, other than docking ports.

Add this:

Code:
MaxFuel = 1000
Isp = 90000      ; fuel specific impulse [m/s]
MaxAttitudeThrust = 50000

at the top of the config under the mass. Change them as needed.
