Why the fairing Base is limited to 1.5m?

[ToumanLin]

I remember that in the previous version there's no limit...

I'm having the same problem, its limited to 1.5 metres. Took hours to update my KSP RO to 1.11 and the fairings are the only problem right now. Also it appears to shrink when I right click on it.

KSP.log and minimum reproduction steps, please.
Note that RO does not claim to support 1.11, so not sure how to address that the fairings in that environment are not working as expected.
Also note that ProcFairings now formally uses the PartUpgrades system. If you had an existing career, you may need to go back to the nodes and unlock them to expand the limits. If you are in sandbox, there should be no limit.

The upgrades are described in https://github.com/KSP-RO/ProceduralFairings/blob/master/GameData/ProceduralFairings/PF_Settings.cfg. So 1.5m is weird, because that is not a limitation in PF's settings. Edit: 1.5m is the max fairingbase size with no tech unlocks.

my game version is 1.11.1
but the mod description said it was compative with 1.11+

Correction: 1.5m is the maximum base size when other limits are not unlocked.

PF is marked compatible with 1.11. RO is not.

In sandbox, you must enable PartUpgrades in the difficulty settings:

Thanks that fixed it :) , I was in sandbox KSP RO 1.11. Everything else worked fine, that was the only problem I was getting. Never used to have to do that in my older 1.8.1 RO sandbox save.

[ToumanLin]

thanks, the problem solved :D

I'm having the same problem in 1.10. Not in sandbox and I already have part upgrades enabled. I can't find any nodes that say they upgrade the fairing bases either. I'm using RP-1, if that matters.

[DRVeyl]

Do you have an updated RP-1?
RP-1 does not use any of the part upgrades, instead it pre-configures the parts to already have the max/unlimited diameter.

I'm still on RP-1 v1.8. I went through the releases and saw that it isn't compatible with Procedural Fairings v6, so I downgraded to v1.8.3.

[DRVeyl]

RP-1 v1.8.1 added support PF v6.
RP-1 v1.9 and 1.9.1 both support KSP 1.8.1+.
RP-1 v1.10 is the first RP-1 release to require KSP 1.10+.

Thank you. I think I figured out the issue. I had KRASH installed, but that seemed to conflict with all the newer versions of RP-1. I uninstalled KRASH and was able to update to RP-1 v1.10 and PF v6.
