I am trying to learn how to create a ship to use in Orbiter. I am starting simple and working my way up from there. I manually created a .msh with 4 points and 4 faces. The mesh is fine, works no problem (I just need to figure the coloring/lighting out but no biggy, its a medium grey). I manually created a .cfg from examples in the vessel folder, the 3DModeling pdf, and all the relevant tutorials I could find. I say relevant cause most either reference spacecraft.dll or a module. I am not there yet. I am just working with .cfg and the .msh. The problem I do not understand is why is the yaw rotation point is nearly 20m behind the ship, and the roll and pitch are about 1m above the ship? No point I have created, either in the .msh or the .cfg is outside of +/- 2m. Maybe the small size is screwing it up. But should not the rotation points at least be within the thruster positions, especially if they are at opposite ends of the ship? What am I missing?
