Correcting 'Para_Docking_Port's top stack node #91

Closed Poodmund closed 8 years ago

The coordinates for the top stack node on the Y were incorrect; maybe grabbed from the location of the extended bumper. Reduced to 0,225 seems to be correct to get them lining up in the VAB correctly.

The top node is where it is in order to match the position of the stock docking port, so as not to break existing craft.

But the "Para_Docking_Port" is the Clamp-o-Tron Mk16-XXL part which is a new part added in addition to the stock parts. Sure relocating the node would break craft with the VSR part but it wouldn't affect stock craft.

Anyway, it doesn't correct the issue that the top node is not set correctly. See in this album where two of the ports are stacked in the VAB which highlights the issue:

If the node is kept in that position, then the model needs to be resized to fit the node...?
