lack of fin efficiency?

¿Soy el único que se da cuenta de que las aletas ya no son fuertes?

They have been trying to straighten the ship for a long time, and it does not move, on the contrary it is leaning slightly in the opposite direction. before, this type of design worked well for me, even with less fins.

You design is extremely bottom heavy and has a lot of protrudign parts above the CoM. You even added fins to the very top of your rocket to help the extremely light payload during descent. But those fins will absolutely work against you during ascent. Also instead of having the gimballing liquid fuel engine adding to the stability you only rely on uncontrollable SRBs for your first stage.

As your overall rocket is not trivial, could you add a screenshot with aero forces enabled ( F12) ?

in 1.7:

* I have launched rockets 5 times heavier without any problem.
* I had already implemented the upper fins, and with their respective compensation in lower fins it worked well
* I used ships with some bumps and they didn't affect performance so much (and at no time did the ship's turn affect me)
* I always used solid rockets in the first stage and I never had problems.

Glad you found it. I was just about to write that your installation might be the problem. I did start something compareable and the yellow spikes from control wings were completely missing in your screenshot, but should have been quite huge at that speed.
