Olsson Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Mods: ZoxyGene and MapSat.So I tried making a mun lander (craft linked) and as I get into orbit using my second stage and accelerate to get a circular orbit one of my landing engines along with the RCS fuel tank above it falls off for no reason. Could anyone help me with why?EDIT: Alright it won't let me upload my craft file nor when I tried to put it into a RAR. Anyone know what I need to do?EDIT 2: It seems to be happening to more than one of my landing engines and RCS tanks now. The thing is that in the middle there's a fuel tank for the engine, below that the landing engine and above the fuel tank a RCS tank. There are four of these and they're all attached to a middle pillar by a strut, the strut is connected to the fuel tank in the middle. The engines and tanks seem to fall off once I get out of my "fast forward". I fast forward 50x and wait until I've gotten to my apoapsis when I'm in orbit or whatever the name is and then when I go out of it they just fall off.

Vanamonde Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I posted something similar in the general discussion board. I also had engines on my lander stage detach themselves from the ship, not under thrust, but while I was idling at zero G in Kerbin orbit or coasting toward Mun. No explosion. The engines just fell off and floated away. Olsson, where you using the little 20 thrust engine, and was there a decoupler underneath it or was it suspended by another part? (I'd add screenshots but they're wonky right now.) Edited August 4, 2012 by Vanamonde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'd add screenshots but they're wonky right now.)I don't have a decoupler underneath it, infact I have nothing underneath the engines. Though they are as you said suspended by a fueltank. They're hanging from the fueltank that they're attached to which is the connected to the RCS tank above. The fuel tank is also attached to a strut which is then connected to the main pillar in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Yes, that sounds like just the same set up and problem I'm having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
