Problem URMS & UCD Trouble

[Tre]

Hi folks

been tinkering with building my own station for future lunar missions, However, I noticed some strange behaviour from Universal Cargo Dock & Universal RMS as whenever I load the scenario they seem to detach from the host ship (to my surprise when I went afk and loaded a quick save I was shocked to see the arm floating out the back of the ship :lol.

When I created the scenario everything was attached correctly through the ingame scenario editor and when comparing my scenario text file with the stock ISS URMS one i cant see any major diffrences to the code any help will be appreciated.

[MJR]

Did you create attachment point for the arm or cargo?

 

[Tre]

Sorry I didnt. I automatically assumed that the addons did that part. I will have a scout about on how to create attachment points for the arm and cargo.

Thanks.

 

[MJR]

That should be it. Then you animate the parts so that the arm stays in position and moves around by pivoting on its axis.

 

[Oceanic]

Did you create attachment point for the arm or cargo?

the beauty of URMS and UCD is that you don't need to create attachment points

did you by any chance install any other addon from klutch? there may be a conflict with an older version on the payload manager

i think i found the problem

this line is missing:

change your config to this:

let me know if it worked

For ISS this:

ISS:ProjectAlpha_ISS

 

[Tre]

Thanks for the hints Oceanic changed the scenario file, however the arm is still falling away from the host craft. I'm gonna check the versions of URMS & UCD I got from Orbiter hanger compared to ones at Klutchs site.

 

[MJR]

Did you do what I said?

 

[Tre]

MJR i'm a bit rusty with setting attachment points. I will however have a go at itmanually. However, I was under the impression from the URMS & UCD documentation that it allowed you to alter the attachment point through the scenario editor using the addon functionality.

 

[MJR]

Do what you can.
