Edlu Kerman Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 So, I was trying to make a Tekto base (picture enclosed) and I noticed that when I separated the first stage, the craft randomly torqued west. HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
septemberWaves Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I feel like perhaps the picture that you mentioned would help (it isn't enclosed). But on Tekto, the thing you have to be most careful about is drag. You have to accelerate slowly and gravity turn slowly, so that you don't end up experiencing horrible aerodynamic effects and a loss of delta-v. Also, I would avoid staging entirely if I were you. A Tekto SSTO is not enormously difficult to create so long as you limit your acceleration enough, and it would entirely remove any difficulty caused by staging.

EpicSpaceTroll139 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Could you give us a more detailed description of what exactly is going on? It's kind of vague. And also 12 minutes ago, Edlu Kerman said: (picture enclosed) what picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this happened inside Kerbin's atmosphere so, that doesn't help me. But thanks for trying to help. 3 minutes ago, sumghai said: Nope, sorry, can't see it. The forums doesn't work that way.

You are not supposed to copy & paste to imgur like you would copy & paste to a Microsoft Word document. You upload the image file to their servers, and then post the URL they give you into your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
septemberWaves Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I know something similar happens inside Kerbin's atmosphere when staging. It's usually to do with the fact that you're going from a high thrust-to-weight ratio when your lower stage is nearly out of fuel to a much lower thrust to weight when your upper stage ignites. On Tekto it's actually comparatively easy to solve compared to Kerbin; you should be throttling your engines down gradually to keep the acceleration consistent and low (easiest seen if you have a mod like MechJeb which can show you your TWR), and when your first stage runs out you should throttle up again to start the next stage, and gradually throttle down like before until you're out of the lower atmosphere and you can afford to have a higher acceleration.

Yes, the Ctrl-V shortcut will work. However, for future reference I strongly recommend you upload images in the traditional manner (i.e. browsing to the directory on your computer containing the images), as it is far more reliable.

Try this instead: - Go to imgur - Click on upload images - Click on browse your computer - Navigate to the folder containing your screenshot - Select your screenshot and click Open - Click Start Upload - Once it has finished uploading, copy and paste the URL (address) of the image into your post.
