alexCDG Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) No matter what I try, my spacecraft just won't lift off. When I press space, I get what sounds like a decoupler sound effect in slow motion and then my rocket slowly falls. I think it might have something to do with the lag, since I had 3 FPS the whole time?

monstah Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Did you check the staging order? Perhaps you're staging the clamps, but not the engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrbitalBuzzsaw Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 First, check your staging. Secondly, please provide a picture and a .craft file. This sounds like you have TWR of <1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Also make sure you have pressed Z for full throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 You do not need Bandicam for screenshots. Hit F1 and the game will take a shot and save it in the screenshots folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianni1122 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 To help us help you... 1) Do you here and see the engines igniting? (see flame and here a "shhh" sound?) 2) Right click the engine; Is the thrust limiter set to 0? 3) Are your decouplers and engines on the same stage? Does hitting spacebar twice activate your engine? IMO, posting pictures on the forum is done easiest by taking a screenshot and using http://imgur.com (free: no sign up) or a similar website - Welcome to the forums, @alexCDG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexCDG Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Ok, here's my 'shots: Before and after liftoff Yes, I hear a weird 'Shhh' sound... Edited December 5, 2016 by alexCDG Forgot to add something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 @alexCDG, your throttle is all the way down. Press Z like @sal_vager said above and things will start happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsii1970 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 @alexCDG: That "SHHHHHHH" sound is mono-propellant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press Z like @sal_vager said above and things will start happening Actually, those pics are from an old version, and may predate Z for max throttle. Hold down the Left Shift key to increase your throttle to maximum, if the throttle does not stay up you will need to check for anything installed on your PC that is making the left control key stay on. Or check the left control key for stickiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianni1122 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) @alexCDG What @Deddly said. It looks like @sal_vager was correct. There are two gages on either side of the navball. The one on the right shows g-force while the one on the left shows your throttle. If you look closely at your left gage, you see that the small grey "arrow" is all the way "down" indicating that your throttle is to zero. X sets throttle to 0% and Z sets it to 100% (with default keys). Shift or left control will slowly Increase or decrease your throttle respectively Typically the throttle is at 50% when you load a ship on the launchpad so you might have accidentally hit X.
