I'm having this same issue but I have not been able to figure it out. Could someone explain to me in baby terms what I'm supposed to do with these patches? I'm using CKAN and insofar haven't really had to do anything manually yet; thanks. If you want IFS, I have to assume you want Interstellar resources and balance. You'll have to disable IFS' switching patches if you want mine. So... this seems like it's really getting to be a problem with multiple fuel switches. Will open a conversation in the CT thread.

I honestly didn't want any of Interstellar's fuel/resources as Kerbalism, Near Future's stuff and these cryo engines seemed to be plenty complex already, but it's all bundled with a bunch of other pre-requisites that they require and CKAN enforces it (probably for my own good) I just wanted the space station and science parts and some of the nuclear stuff, and I really don't know how to make them play together. But I guess that's outside of what I can do by myself? Anyway thanks for looking into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel33Demon Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I don't think the Methane engines play nice with RealFuels yet. Any plans to make that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman525 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I downloaded the mod and the engines work, but the plumes do not show. Anyone know how I can fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBirdAzurite Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I can’t use methane engines because they use Methane + Oxidizer but the only fuel type containing methane that shows up is Methane + Liquid Oxygen (which is not the same as oxidizer) so I can’t use them, anyone knows how to fix it?

Then there is sometihng wrong with yout install. I checked it and there is LCH4/Ox. There is no combi LCH4/LOx included in this mod. Do you have another Fuelswitch-mod installed? Like Interstellar Fuel Switch? If so, delete it. 3 hours ago, rocketman525 said: I downloaded the mod and the engines work, but the plumes do not show. Anyone know how I can fix this?

I litterally installed Interstellar Fuel switch to see if that could fix the problem. also does someone knows if procedurals tanks can support Methane?

I tried looking at the problem a bit closer, and although it isn't fixed, I think I might know what it is. I was working on a Lander using the “Hecate” and the “Erebus”. The Hecate is the smallest vacuum optimized engine that uses liquid hydrogen, the Erebus is a larger sustainer. I opened up this waterfall window that you get by clicking on the box. The Hecate has two effects in the waterfall window, but for some reason the Erebus has no effects. I tried reinstalling the mod a few times and it didn't fix the plume issue. However, when I first installed it there weren't any engines, but reinstalling it added the engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the plumes work for me now too. I had to update my RO save to 1.10.1 tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris-kerbal Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Does anyone have an issue with the Fuji engine? I now had this on two crafts, that on a longer burn i get a spiral movement of the vessel, as if the thrust is off center. Beginning is fine and this only comes up after some time, so probably a very small offset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallebumba Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I am playing on 2.5x Kerbin and this mod seems a bit underpowered for that. (duh) xD nothing bad, but i wanted to ask if there would be a quick and dirty (or clean) way to improve all of the engines performances. i never really delved into the depths of module manager .cfgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure nothing else is wrong? I for example, regularly underestimate the tank size in comparison to liquid fuel. To make them more powerful you probably could write an easy patch to just multiply the thrust values for every engine (There are examples in the module manager wiki), however I guess that will also unbalance thrust curves, fuel consumption, etc.?

Liquid hydrogen engines provide relatively lower thrust compared to denser fuels like kerolox/hypergolics and much better efficiency. You must learn to make use of their characteristics. For boosters the best choice is to use cryogenic engines on a core first stage large enough it is not able to lift itself and then use Solid or LFO liquid boosters to add lift off thrust to get it to a point where it can carry the rest of itself to orbit. This is how most liquid hydrogen first stages work IRL as well. They are very effective when used this way. IMO they are very well balanced for 2.5x. Most mods correctly balanced for stock scale are overpowered for stock (because stock balance is an overpowered balance to make the game easier), and correct at 2.5x and this is the case for CryoEngines.
