Lv-909 and TR-18A issue

[jacook]

I have a LV909 engine and right below it a TR-18a decoupler. The decoupler is set at a stage below the engine.

When I activate the dcoupler to remove the stage below it, the decoupler moves into the stage with the lv909 and the decoupler stays attached to the engine causing the engine to never provide thrust

whats going on?

Can you provide some screenshots? Just from your description, it sounds like you might have attached the decoupler the wrong way around, but I can't be sure.

I can't right now as I'm at work but I had the same thought as you, so I went back into VAB and flipped the decoupler and tried it both ways with no change.

Did you attach it to the correct node?

[jacook]

I did notice that there are two attach nodes for that engine and tried both.

Do you have part clipping enabled? Either way this has all the symptoms of the engine and the decoupler just being attached on the wrong ends .

[BudgetHedgehog]

Odd. Could you upload that craft file somewhere?

[jacook]

I just figured it out. Even though I was on the correct bottom attach node, if your mouse is too high, it still highlights the engine even if it doesnt visibly reattach to the higher node. I kept my mouse at the lower end, attached everything and it fixed the problem.
