Mk3 cargo bay not removing drag?

[qzgy]

I have a large and complicated craft in an enclosed mark 3 cargo bay, however the f12 screen shows drag from it any way. Any reason?

Red drag arrows, or an actual number readout of drag?  The arrows don't always reflect whether the game thinks parts are properly shielded or not.

Hit Alt-F12.  Go to Physics -> Aero -> and check 'Display Aero Data in Action Menus'.  Now right click the parts in question, and see if they say 'Shielded = True' or 'False'

Weird aero physics. Is your stuff attached to a node or radially attached?

Another possible cause it's that you attached the cargo bay by its internal node and leaft the external one open (more common when multiple cargo bays are used) .

@fourfa: Checked using debug menu, according to that the payload is shielded - no drag. I was checking drag using the red arrows, which is probably Wonder why the red arrows still show up though.Thanks.

@EpicSpaceTroll139 : Payload is node attached

 

I think fourfa is correct, since it is just the drag arrows in the aero overlay. The parts are being shielded, but the gui says differently
