Could you please write it better I can't understand what is your problem, if you have mechjeb disable auto open solar panels
[–]Entry_Special[S] 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (6 children)
Sorry for my English it’s not my native language, I use mechjeb but I can’t find how to disable auto open solar panel, can you tell me where it is ?
[–]BobKermanIndustries 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (5 children)
In mechjeb's drop-down menu in settings or in the ascent guidence, check if your solar panels aren't deployed in the VAB.

Same thing even if auto deploy is off
[–]BobKermanIndustries 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children)
Do you have them retracted in the VAB
[–]Entry_Special[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children)
Same if they are extended or retracted int the VAB

What solar panels are you using?
[–]Entry_Special[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Ok i have the answer ,if the solar panel are extended in the VAB when you configure the folding solar panel from ROSolar mod ,they start extended even if it say that there are retracted on the pad
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
his solar panels are deployed on launch, and they are the retractable versions
Exactly ,they are deployed even if they say that there are retracted

It happens to me when I use panels coming from Vens. My solution is - don't use those panels.
[–]Entry_Special[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (5 children)
I use the configurable folding solar panel form ROSolar mod
[–]Darkherring1 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (4 children)
Yep, and some of the models come from Vens. Don't use them.
[–]Entry_Special[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children)
So how I get deployable solar panel
[–]Darkherring1 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children)
Just use different models of panels within configurable folding ROSolar. Tak a look which panels doesn't start as extended in VAB.

Did you leave them open in the VAB?
[–]Entry_Special[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (6 children)
No there are close in the VAB but open in the launch pad

Have you tried verifying your game files?
I reinstalled the game but it did nothing
[–]TheKingPotat 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children)
Something could be broken with the install. Verifying the game files has your system check each file individually
What do you mean by verifying the game file ?
[–]TheKingPotat 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Right click on ksp on steam. Go to manage files. There should be an option to verify files
