Your rocket tipped over because it was bigger on top than on bottom. It's like an arrow, the fletching stabilize things because it creates drag at the back, so it naturally seeks to stay pointed forward. Your rocket has more drag in the front, it's like a backwards arrow, it's going to seek to turn around. This is actually a big problem with procedural fairings combined with Far, they tend to give the cargo too much room, creating wide upper stages that have a tendency to want to tip over. You exacerbated the problem heavily by throwing that wide thing on there. Your other rocket was stable because the drag from the side engines and wingtips counterbalanced that from the oversized fairing load.

They are the so called Lagrangian points.

@ross988611 жыл бұрын
I think that the decrease in stability when using the fairings is a result of the lower density of the upper end of the rocket. If there is a lot of empty space inside the fairing, then it would be like having a big solid balloon on top.

The a-symmetrical liftoff with the Pegasus launcher might not be because of the plane design! Staging with throttle at full for jet/atmospheric engines doesn't work well (some fire slightly sooner, building thrust faster), try staging/activating them first, then throttling up.

Wait, so how does Ferram Aerospace work without a mesh designed to simulate the aerodynamics model specifically? Does it use something like the lighting engine to test if something is aerodynamic or not? I think that's what deadly reentry uses. But if you can use any part you want from any mod pack, it must not have to have it's own specific type of model for aerodynamics. How do it work?
@richardmg911 жыл бұрын
The tendency for your plane to veer is not a symmetry issue. Your rear landing gear are too far back, and as the fulcrum, they are taking too much weight, add more rear landing gear with the wheel's axis lining up, or move your gear to just behind CG, preferably both.

For what ever reason i find planes like to turn left or right on a run way when they have symetrical wheels like that. when there is more of a tri-cycle style used they tend to be more stable. Not sure if its the case but changing the landing gear as such made the same plane design not turn during take off for me.
