[HELP] RCSthruster

Recommended Posts

Trying to have the vernier Engine to be able to pick from LFO or LiquidFuel so that i don't have multiple parts. Here what i got but once i launch it don't give me the option anymore.

title = Vernor Engine LF

manufacturer = Reaction Systems Ltd

description = The VR-N1ER Veer-Governor, or "Vernor" Engine is an attitude control thruster. These motors are linked to RCS controls, but are powered by a Fuel+Oxidizer mix, making them significantly more powerful than MonoPropellant-powered RCS thrusters. They are fairly more bulky in comparison though, and feature only one nozzle facing outwards, although most agree that is an acceptable trade-off for the additional punch they pack.

Technically this should go in the Add-On Development sub forum.

I can't actually help you with your question, but I'd double check that MultiModeEngine documentation. It is supposed to allow you to switch engine types in flight, or only in the editor to pick which fuel it will use?

The setting should be like the rapierEngine or porkjets new engines.

That is part of the module for those engine but since rcs are not typical engine with staging i cant use the full module. That where iam stuck

Try adding

RESOURCE
{
name = ElectricCharge
amount = 0
maxAmount = 0
isTweakable = false
hideFlow = true
}

and

MODULE
{
name = ModuleTestSubject

// nowhere: 0, srf: 1, ocean: 2, atmo: 4, space: 8
environments = 15

useStaging = True
useEvent = True
}
