Hooligan Labs Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have a space plane where all rockets fire at once, but fuel tanks are discarded from rear to front. However, the system seems to only accept draining fuel tanks from front to rear! I tried reordering the stages but it doesn't care. The only solution seems to be to manually disable flow, but that is very awkward, especially when trying to re-enable when entering orbit.My apologies if this has already been explained, I could not find it in the wiki or forum.

Jimbow Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 You could use fuel line to move the fuel back towards to front tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndlessWaves Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Fuel lines drain from most links away first while stacks seem to drain from first to last (by placement order I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

togfox Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Im hoping one day the staging of fuel tanks will be respected so one can drain and drop bottom tanks first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibb31 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Stick a part with no fuel flow between the tanks (such as a decoupler), and then add your fuel lines from bottom to top, and a final fuel line from the top tank back down to the engine.

I tried various permutations of your suggestion with no luck. As togfox says, fuel tank staging isn't here yet.Screenshot as proof: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
