This is to avoid a very reactive situation with the water and the dock's wing parts which will explode when in contact with the water it seems.\r\n\r\nAnyways, the explody bits could be a KSP bug, so to avoid it, I hyperedit using the same long, lat, and alt as in SpawnVessel  - just above the water so it lands on its empty fuel tank pontoons  in the water.\r\n\r\nI just can't get SpawnVessel to work similarly. I tested this several ways:\r\n\r\nAfter accepting the 3 Hour Tour contract:\r\n\r\n1. Before loading a craft from the runway, or launchpad, I go to load/fly the dock. The terrain at Valentina's Cay doesn't render properly (could be KSP bug?), and the Dock craft appears inside the island, and there is no Crew that is spawned. Nothing happens, and only two parts of the craft appear. I flip to the SpawnKerbal kerbal and same thing. He's inside the island. The dock parts remain also in the island. I exit to Space Center and fly a plane over, and the terrain generates fine, the SpawnKerbal generates fine and appears on the shore, but the dock appears in contact with the water and explodes. I think in one my frames of the dock explosion it looks as if its duplicating parts. Can't tell. After the dock appears though, it does properly spawn the Crew kerbal. Sometimes he survives the explosion.\r\n\r\n2. Before loading a craft from the runway, or launchpad, I go to load/fly the random SpawnKerbal. The Cay terrain renders just fine, he appears 20m above the Cay shore as expected, and lands on the shore fine. The poor dock though... spawns in contact with the water (regardless of the altitude I set for it), spawns the Crew, and explodes. Sometimes the Crew kerbal survives.\r\n\r\n3. I fly a craft over to the Cay, and the SpawnKerbal shows up, as well as the Dock. Only when I get within render range - under 2km I think - does the dock render and physics kicks in, and then explodes into bits when it spawns in contact with the water (again, regardless of the starting altitude).\r\n\r\nCan you help me figure out how to spawn this dock successfully near the shoreline at Valentina's Cay?\r\n\r\nAgencies, Groups, Craft file, and CC config 3 Hour Tour:\r\nhttp://www.mediafire.com/download/mstv1ccph26gatl/SSI-Test.zip"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jrossignol/ContractConfigurator/issues/comments/160045137","html_url":"https://github.com/jrossignol/ContractConfigurator/issues/363#issuecomment-160045137","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jrossignol/ContractConfigurator/issues/363","id":160045137,"user":{"login":"inigmatus","id":8864800,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8864800?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus","html_url":"https://github.com/inigmatus","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/inigmatus/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-27T05:16:10Z","updated_at":"2015-11-27T05:16:10Z","body":"Ill test it spawning on land in the morning but I think this only happens when I try to spawn on water where on render of the vessel from a nearby Kerbal view, spawns the vessel in collision contact with the ocean floor regardless of alt attribute. Ran into the same issue in #350. Work around in #350 was to spawn the fishing boat under water.  Thing is with the dock is that it is shoreline so there is no room to spawn underwater.  Ill test more and report to confirm the dock can spawn on land and under water fine, but not at surface of water or above it."}}
