Fairings that don't detach

[mariohobbs]

I've been working on some stuff but i keep accidentally detaching the decorative fairings, is there a way to make it so they can't detach? sliding detach edges to be deactivated has not been working for me.

Like how, are they on a fuel tank or on the side?

with this shuttle as an example, everything black is pretty much a fairing and will detach if accidentally pressed, none of it really covers an entire fuel tank though.

Some bp editors actually use half a fairing but wider like here:

Instead of null in fragment do left or right

Have the edge of the fairing attached to something, like this

You know that the fairing is the black part right?

I know my example still applies

You can also use two half fairings together to look like a normal fairing, it won't separate

On my shuttle I made recently I clipped struts to the edge of the fairing so that they will remain hidden but keep the fairing in place. They were clipped from the inside but touching the edge of the fairing. Its a cheap and light way to make sure your fairings stay on.

And by the edge I mean the side, not the top or bottom though that can work too.

Yes this works well

What works for me, is doing this on both right and left side, then turn off the 'detach edge'. These part must be connected to a fixed point. Note that parachute and docking port can't be used.

The upper example will separate, but the bottom won't.

(Didn't see that you tried 'detach edge' hehe)
