Hello,
Can anyone give me tips for how to make turns to due east after liftoff? I've designed rockets that one time in a hundred will make it to orbit and back. The other 99 they either shake out of control or refuse to turn whatsoever. I've tried vectored thrust with boosters, straight solid fuel for the first stage, all vectored for the first (just spins out of control at altitude).
I've got Winglets to stabilize, but I either get insufficient control to counter natural instability and make any controlled changes, or it shakes apart, usually after spinning out of control.
I've tried single, triple, five, and seven structure designs. I've added braces to dampen shaking apart, but then my designs either don't turn enough or start to wildly turn out of control until breaking apart.
I'm in career mode so I don't have stabilization available yet. I'm just trying to complete the orbit contracts to research these, but am stuck. The only missions available are orbit missions and a 1% success ratio is just no fun.
I'd like to post the design, is there a way to copy and paste images into the forums?
Thanks!
