Oh. I will see what I get. So I had a quest airlock that does EVA. I can't seem to find the quest airlock in the vc. though to see if it is blocking,....
Here's the image of the entire VC mesh as seen from its source material:

So I think this is the entrance to the Quest Airlock, right? Could you make a key/cfg just to show or not show Quest. The new quest just has the crew airlock.

I think the Airlock spur was here,

Not to hijack this. Might start a thread. But working on a VC for Skylab. those floors are killers. I will just just generic panels on the walls. Those blue squares on the top floor will be suits. The dome at the top is a texture.

Thanks. I thought about that. I have done that before with helicopter blades. I need to remember how to do it. Something about an alpha?

Happy Tuesday! :)
v3.0 released:

New features:
  • Optional PMA-2
  • Optional Quest airlock
  • Added the gap spanner
  • BEAM & Bishop now included; thanks @Donamy!

I unfortunately had to change the license with this version due to some issues with this addon being uploaded elsewhere on the internet without my permission, see "\Doc\Better ISS\LICENSE.txt" for details.

Thanks. So I was using Don's Questlock mesh and add an attachment to the ISS and we get this. No visual effects from inside the ISS.

But there are some issues with the mesh. The edges don't line up so there are small gaps. Fixable

Some makes me think the airlock maybe off due to the gapper not fitting on the hull. Also you can see the gap.

I warned you... ;)
The gap spanner didn't really fit right from the start, I had to scale it a bit to make it fit. I'll take a look at it and see if I can make it fit better.

So with the default quest. The gap spanner is off. It needs to come more inside and out.

Yes, that's what I was using. I fixing the seams. Sure I can scale it up a bit. But it matches the default quest size

They are basically the same. The gap spanners needs to move more the edge of the Quest. In the default it is outside. And more more toward the airlock hatch.

Another option is the gap spanner is just not seen when the quest is not there. Then the new Questairlock could have it.

New EVA guys. This changes the cfg of the ISS_HD by adding a attachment. This is got new ISS EVA guys and Quest airlock. If you have the Questairlock textures it will override them. It has a new mesh,....

On the Quest airlock press CTRl + space and the dialogue window opens. Press Open hatch and when the hatch is open then select your guy.

Focus shifts to the guy. CTRL + Space open the box to move the guy,....

VERY IMPORTANT before entering back into the Quest close the eva dialogue box.

It is important that the ISS_HD gets installed first then the Quest airlock
