  1. (Windows version 0.9, non-Steam, no mods) I'm struggling with a plane design I'm working on. Basically I'm trying to build a plane with the fuel tanks/engine build on the wings. It's a big plane, so the engine assembly has two fuel tanks attached together. The issue is the the wing connectors won't join to the second fuel tank if I attach it to the back of the first fuel tank. Even if they are phased through there is no connection and the tanks "flop" because it's only being held from the front. Likewise, if I attempt to attach the fuel tank to the wing I can't get it to connect to the other fuel tank's node. What's more annoying about it is that my first, quick prototype concept did join properly with all wing connector pieces attached to both the plane's core and the fuel tanks (multiple pieces). It ended up being one very solid wing (no symmetry build) despite having the weight in the middle. It didn't flop or wiggle. I don't understand why it worked once but now I can't get it to cooperate with me. Does anyone have any insight on what I might have done differently or a know-how on a way to get the wings to connect to both surfaces? So far it doesn't matter if I build the fuel tanks first and then put the wing connectors in between or if I build the wing then add the fuel tanks. Here's a quick snap of the wing assembly in attempted function: As you might be able to see, only the front wing connector and fuel tank are connected. The other tank and connectors are not joined, causing it to hang down.
