When EX-M9 cluster is configured with 3x3 lower and upper mounts, they have unoptimal coorientation.
Looking from the bottom, please rotate lower 3x group 30 degrees clockwise and upper 6x group 30 degrees anywise.
Also, NR-M4 and NR-M6 in 3x mode are laterally asymmetrical (rotated 30 degrees)

Create truss pieces for use in the 5/7.5 procedural fairings to replace the crappy stock one.

Hi,
Got an error saying volume was not defined and could not switch the tank contents. It looks it was not properly defined.

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleB9PartSwitch
	moduleID = fuelSwitch
	switcherDescription = #LOC_NFLaunchVehicles_switcher_fuel_title

	volume = 115200
	SUBTYPE
	{
		name = LFO
		tankType = LFOX
		title = #LOC_NFLaunchVehicles_switcher_fuel_variant-lfo
		addedCost = -50616

	}
	SUBTYPE
	{
		name = LF
		tankType = LF
		title = #LOC_NFLaunchVehicles_switcher_fuel_variant-lf
		addedCost = -50616
	}
}

It should be baseVolume not volume according to all the other configs. When I make the change in the config below, tank switching works again.

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleB9PartSwitch
	moduleID = fuelSwitch
	switcherDescription = #LOC_NFLaunchVehicles_switcher_fuel_title
	baseVolume = 115200

	SUBTYPE
	{
		name = LFO
		tankType = LFOX
		title = #LOC_NFLaunchVehicles_switcher_fuel_variant-lfo
		addedCost = -50616

	}
	SUBTYPE
	{
		name = LF
		tankType = LF
		title = #LOC_NFLaunchVehicles_switcher_fuel_variant-lf
		addedCost = -50616
	}
}

CryoTanks adds its own fuelSwitch module to all tanks which overrides original modules. However, NFLV's fuel switches remain in the part right-click menu but have no effect.

Recommend adding a patch in the Methalox Extra to allow 1.25m and 2.5m ISRUs to produce LCH4 and LCH4-Ox, complementing CryoTanks LH2 patch.

Look into increasing this and decreasing vacuum Isp

When CryoTanks is installed, add a new version of the AVCS RCS block that runs off LH2/Ox

In the config for EX-M25 (cluster-mount-75-1), LOC string got to the bulkheadProfiles instead of tags.

If fuel capacity on the 7.5m tanks (EA-F series) is meant to be proportional to the volume of the tank as a cylinder, all of the fuel values should be multiplied by 1.5 (unless I have some weird patch interfering with the numbers, of course...).

If you compare the 7.5m tanks' volume to 5m tanks of the same height, the 7.5m should carry 2.25x the fuel since the ratio of their volumes will be (all else equal) the ratio of their radii squared : 5^2 = 25, 7.5^2 = 56.25, or 2.25x the volume.

However, engine names appear to be specified differently in their part configs:

engine-lfo-advanced-125-1
engine-lfo-125-2
engine-lfo-25-1
engine-lfo-advanced-25-2

Not sure off hand which are supposed to be which, but currently two do not appear in the right place in CTT's tree.

I noticed that the amount of Liquid-Fuel, and Oxidizer was said to add up to 2600 as base volume, when it should add up to 3770.
2340 + 1430 = 3770 but

"baseVolume" has it added up to

baseVolume = 2600

    {
        name = LiquidFuel
        amount = 2340
        maxAmount = 2340
    }

Unable to find pink "Close Fairing" to the base of EA-F tanks when using the 7.5m AE-FF5 Payload Fairing.

Steps to replicate:

1. Place EA-F Tank of any size.
2. Place any intervening part to be covered by the fairing. Engine, smaller 2.5m part, etc.
3. Place fairing underneath to the construction node.
4. Attempt to build fairing. Unable to get blue 'place fairing' completion node to seal to the bottom of the EA-F tank.

Notes:

• Problem is limited only to the EA-F tanks. If any other tank or module is used in step 1, the fairing operates correctly.
  

• No issue with the 5m (NR-) fuel tank parts; fairing binds correctly to the bottom of them.
  

• Fairings from other mods unable to detect the base of the 7.5m part.

Hi,

In the fueltank-adapter-5-375-2.cfg it looks like a } is missing.

// Resources
RESOURCE
{
	name = LiquidFuel
	amount = 1170
	maxAmount = 1170
RESOURCE
{
	name = Oxidizer
	amount = 1430
	maxAmount =  1430
}

The } is missing for LiquidFuel, so B9 partswitch would not work and the adapter was stuck with 1170 LiquidFuel.

// Resources
RESOURCE
{
	name = LiquidFuel
	amount = 1170
	maxAmount = 1170
     }     
RESOURCE
{
	name = Oxidizer
	amount = 1430
	maxAmount =  1430
}

I downloaded the latest version from CKAN and Spacedock. They both showed this error.

I think there's a typo in the tank config; baseVolume is 25600 and fuel values are in total 6400:
