Liquid Fuel not Burning (Bug?)


Recommended Posts

I've got a weird one here. I'm trying to design a very large SSTO using various mods, mostly the Mk4 Spaceplane and B9 P-Wings. Aside from having a devil of a time getting the damn thing into orbit with any kind of payload, it's been working fine. Just now I ran into something weird though. I attached a pair of SRBs to the side of my lower engine nacelles to give the plane a kick off the runway and now it won't burn the liquid fuel. The engines are all running just fine, but they are not consuming any fuel. When I switch them to Closed-Cycle (rocket) mode (using the hybrids included with the Mk4 pack), they start burning oxidizer fine, but the liquid fuel doesn't change still.

I'm running 64 bit in Linux, if that matters.

EDIT: Finally found the log...Player.log

EDIT: The problem is with all air breathing engines. Regular LFO rocket engines consume LF as normal. However, all of the air breather jets and hybrids (RAPIER and it's derivatives added by mods) do not consume LF. Now testing to see if this is related to this save only or if it's global to the entire installation.

EDIT: Tested a new sandbox save and everything worked fine. Back in the original save, it seems that the problem is only affecting the one aircraft. Tried an earlier revision of the same SSTO and in works correctly (at least, it burns fuel - doesn't exactly "work" as I had hoped...). So I guess all I've lost is that one plane, which was my best design so far. Grr. Oh well, back to formula I guess.
