Could it be included in the XML menu to increase the size of the hinge rotater like we can with the piston. Even at 500% size using the part menu, the rotater doesn't get very large. Also is there a way to increase the power of the rotater so it can move large structures. I've been trying to build the service tower for the Gemini-Titan. The service tower with the Titan rocket didn't pull back like the Atlas gantry. It laid back on the ground using large electric motors to lower it. I tried that using hinge rotator but it wouldn't lower the tower and the tower would fall from the launch pad and create an explosion. A bad day at Canaveral.

    @Mod I have never seen a tab that says "Stuff". Where is that tab?

    I haven't found a hinge rotator in any of the mods I've been able to download. Tell me where to find one. I've just uploaded a video to show my Gemini-Titan launch pad in which I use a rotator enlarged to 500% to lower the service tower. The rotator is not large enough to to do the job but with coaxing I have it working "OK". The mods I have downloaded really enhanced the project. Thank you to the guys that put those together.

    @Kell I know that and I use that. MarioG said I could find it in the Overload XML listing and I could make the rotator larger than 500%.

    Part scale is under the config section (use the left and right arrows next to “part”) @OldCoach

    @MarioG
    I don't see "part Scale" in the XML listing. I am using overload. Maybe I have an old version of it.

    I do have that mod. I forgot that's what's it's called. I'll try to upload a video to show what I'm trying to do.

    Overload is a mod for customizing hidden properties or stretching customizable properties beyond their limits. @OldCoach

    And if you are replying to someone make sure to hit the “reply” button (and do not delete the tag) so that person can respond to you.

    If you could, please make suggestions using the suggestions tab located under "Stuff", instead of the main Forums. I know there is a suggestion tag, but it's easier to keep up with stuff in suggestion specific area. You can make a suggestion with this link. <---- Clickable link.
