A little cfg help please

[Red Shirt]

I have rescaled the ram air and want to use it as in the picture as it just looks complete:

Problem is they explode. I removed the cfg lines that caused overheating. Looks like the program sees the new nacelle exhaust caps as blocking the engines - because the exhaust do attach to the engine nozzle and I just pulled the caps back to hide the engines. 

It just occurred to me (while typing this) that I could add an attachment node to the ram air and attach the engines then pull the engines into the nacelle covers. Will it work? Is that the cleanest way to solve my problem or is something else easier?

Hey @Red Shirt. The problem is that the engines are too far into the intake parts regardless of how they're attached. Either the engines will blow off the intakes or the intakes will clip into and block their thrust. You'll have to deal with the engines being a little more visible.

Thanks, I added a node and left a little more engine exposed. Unfortunately the amount of gimbel required just isn't going to play nice with the covers. But it sure looks cool.

The intake will have a transform for the air, intakeTransformName,maybe it's possible to hook into that transform with ModuleEngines and just turn the air intake into an engine?

Love the idea. It would work, I think, if I could get SAS strong enough to compensate for no gimbel. Hmmm. Thanks.
