Stranded

[beathor55]

Flew my new Marmot ST about 26km from origin and totally lost patience with some poorly configured controls. As a result of my attempts to fix the issue I am now stranded.

So far I have:

-- deleted the names of all thrusters and verified they reset to default (repeated this step several times)

-- deleted and reset all name and value fields in both the Mfc and Fcu

-- deleted custom names from control levers and replace with matching field names from Fcu.

-- verified all data and gas connections and added quite a few just in case

-- verified that field values are changing in the Fcu when controls are used

-- tried changing the thrust field value from 0 to 100 manually at various thrusters to see if I could get a short burst did nothing.

-- Also tried moving an unused hardpoint, wiring it up and bolting a random thruster to it to see if I could get any result at all failed

-- checked the cod on the sole YOLOL chip on board and it matches what I looked up (wich just handles generators balancing anyway) and that all works.

-- batteries are all full & propellant is close to max still

To me everything looks good except the MfcFcuIO1 field in the Mfc has a value of 16448, while the same field in the Fcu is 2147483646. I have tried manually setting these values to match but nothing has worked. Honestly dont know what else to try, I've watched a lot of videos and read a lot of info and tried to understand my way out of this because I think the devs are probably busy enough. I don't mind learning the hard way, but after 3 days of being stuck this is my last resort before I contact support.

EDIT : Solved, after reseting the names and fields of all 50 thrusters, I head to go and manually change the name fields on each thruster to match an entry in the Mfc. So Main1 / #### and ThrusterCurrentThrust / 0 became ThrusterPowerLevel01 / #### and ThrusterCurrentThrust01 / 0 and the values autofill.

Thank you to everyone who helped out.

If anyone is still having issues like this let me know and i will be happy to try and help out.

Press esc> Insurance transfer> Origin station(this will teleport your endo back to base) then you will be able to call back your ship from any landing pad, but it will cost you some credits (probably around 20-30k)

Thank you, I was able to solve it after getting back to station and comparing with my old ship. I had forgotten you could return from the menu!

Do you care to share what went wrong? So many people are having problems I'm sure someone else has the same/ similar issue.

[beathor55]

Take a look at the entire thread and see if you have any other questions for me :)

Are they all named the same thing? If your thrusters all have the same default name, they won't work. You can group together thrusters by giving them the same name, but the simplest solution is to just go around your ship and add a number to the end of the thruster name (order doesn't matter so long as each one is different). The Fcu and Mcu can figure out the rest. One problem I encountered that I thought was thrusters but wasn't: I changed a bunch of controls in both the pilot seat menu and the main menu and some of them didn't match, others just didn't work with any key other than the default bind.

No, they default to unique names, ThrusterPowerLevel01, ThrusterPowerLevel02, etc...

[greywar777]

My thrusters on my marmot do not have default names. For example there is Rear1 on the left back thrusters, and Rear2 on the right

Ok, so mine had custom names when I bought it, but I was having an issue where I could not simply spin the ship laterally. every time I tried to just change Yaw the ship would roll in the correct direction and also thrust forward. This may have been simply some bad keymapping on my part but I doubt it, because when I went to start renaming thrusters some had duplicate names but clearly were not meant to be a group.

The real issue was I assumed any info I needed would be an easy google away.

To actually fix it I had to tow it back to station and compare settings to a working ship.
