Hello + Question

[Major-Major]

Hi everyone,

I'm an Astro Engineering student at Wisconsin right now, so I'm obviously in love with this game. I had a couple quick questions right away:

1) I've seen reference to the 'Fuel Flow Bug,' but haven't seen a straightforward description yet. I would presume it's related to the non-linear growth of burn time that comes with throttle reduction? (Excel says it's an inverse square). This quirk doesn't seem to make physical sense, and really screws up my attempts at finding Delta-V for a rocket, so I'm hoping it's a bug.

2) Any tips for attaching control surfaces to wings? I haven't been able to get my ailerons parallel to the wing yet, they always snap perpendicular, which obviously looks like nonsense.

Thanks!

Welcome!

1) After the switch to determining fuel flow through thrust and I_sp, they accidentally left in the other code that determined it based on throttle setting. Thus, the two stack.

2) Use the WASDQE keys to rotate parts.

Welcome to the forums Major-Major!

To add to what Kosmo-not said on question 2, you may need to turn off or on rotation snap (C key) as well.
