Odyessus Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi, so im having a problem with my new ship. I'm running 5 nervas on methane but they're only producing 0.02 % of thrust, thereby not moving my ship an inch. No fuel is being used up, but heat is being generated and the engines are producing flames. What am I missing? If you need more info, please ask. I'm running kspi by the way, as well as lots of other unrelated mods. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I think this should be in modded support. No ideas on your issue, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseman Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Since this is a mod-related issue, it probably belongs in one of the mod sections. However, let's get the simple troubleshooting out of the way - are you trying to fire those engines on the launch pad? They produce practically no thrust at surface level.

Odyessus Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Nope, in space. Decoupler, interstage faring, 5 nervas, thrust plate multi adapter and a interstellar x24 tank filled with methane. Engines and tanks are matched for propellant. Relaunching on the deck produces thrust as expected, but not in space on the current save. :( im tempted to destroy the ship in space, redesign and relaunch. Thankfully this is not career mode! ill be honest, I've never got the interstage faring to work... It doesn't pop off like the normal aero faring does. It kinda just slips off during manoeuvres.

Nansuchao Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Can you please post a picture of your ship with some data? If you're using KSPI, there can be a lot of reason for the engines to not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyessus Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 It was the interstage faring. I tested, on the pad, the same ship, with and without an interstage faring at the base of the nervas, and it worked without. The faring was not releasing properly, so i guess the physics got confused. If anyone can point out how to correctly use the KSPI interstage faring, that would be awesome. When i get around to reinstalling FAR, it will be a life saver for the bigger ships. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nansuchao Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Are you talking about the fairing that KSP adds automatically on a stacked engine? Maybe a Quicksave/quick load can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
