Description

The orientation of the MK2 Clamp-O-Tron controlpoint is pointing in the wrong direction.
If the dockingport is pointing up, the controlpint is pointing forward, and the horizon in the Navball is going upside down.
If the dockingport is pointing down, the controlpint is the same as the MK2 Cockpit in front of it.

Definitely facing the wrong direction

#2 Updated by Rakete over 3 years ago

Confirmed... can't dock my sstos to spacestations anymore as the alignment is messed up due to this bug.

Confirmed.
I discovered this yesterday. Had to dock an out of fuel spaceplane by eyeballing

Sorry for the intrusion. I've been asked to load some material to document the bug and make esiaer to find a fix. The bug is shown in the two pics, where one can see the navball status when control point is set to the cockpit (pic on the left) or to the docking port (pic on the right).
Apparently, switching the control point from the cockpit to the MK2 docking port causes the control point direction to rotate 180 degs around the roll axis. Translational axis are messed up accordingly, so that in switching from the cockpit to the docking port, up becomes down, left becomes right and viceversa, back and forth remain unchanged
Savefile and craft have been uploaded too.
Happy debugging

The severity of this bug should be High.
The Mk2 Clamp-O-Tron part is effectively useless.

#10 Updated by Rakete over 3 years ago

Agreed. The MK2 dockingport is a key part for the whole mk2 ssto fleet guys.

Should have a high priority!

Here is another screenshot demonstrating the issue. The in-line mk1 part works, but not the mk2.
Please fix soon!
