Astronaut and turbo pack spawn in different locations; turbo pack is out of reach of astronaut. What file determines the potion that these elements are spawned so it can be adjusted?
And just to make sure, when I spawn an astronaut they it has the ability to rotate but not move so I cannot move for the turbo pack? Or am I missing something? It seems odd you can EVA but only rotate in XYZ?!
thanks

Switching from rotation to translation mode ( "/" key) allows you to reach turbo pack.

Here and now
AFAIK the position where UMMU and Turbopacks are spawned by the XR-5 is coded into the .dll, and cannot be changed by the user.

As Loru said, UMMU use two "modes" for RCS, Translation and Rotation. You switch the modes the same way as you do any other vessel. Flying an UMMU is just like flying a vessel that doesn't have main, hover, or retro engines.

Or you could deploy the elevator and be much closer to the turbopack to begin with...
:p
