It flips backwarks no matter what I do and stalls. SOCK includes a patch that changes the mass of the stock SSME to 1.2t (which is more inline with reality, the stock versions are way too heavy to balance their much better performance compared to other engines in that size class). It's possible that if you are using another mod's SSME or have mods that patch the SSME after SOCK does, you could be using engines which are too heavy and affecting the CoM. I am looking into adjusting the patch so that it applies after all others to ensure that the CoM is always correct.

Yeah I figured it out, I had another mod that override that patch and I had to fix it myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the included trusses and use a decoupler with the decoupler force set to zero and then I use the shuttle's rcs to back away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CollectingSP Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Any advice on how to do a proper landing with this thing using an automated system like mechjeb?

I am not really aware of any autopilot mods that are particularly well suited to landing spaceplanes without some sort of engine to maintain speed in the atmosphere. Your best bet is probably a custom made autopilot using kOS. That is my current pet project, but I am focusing more on the entry guidance portion of it than the landing right now.

Not without making the mass of the orbiter higher, which in turn throws off the balance of everything else (e.g. require more OMS fuel, more thrust from the SRBs, more fuel in the external tank) which makes everything else unbalanced against stock. It is the stock SSMEs which are unbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xD-FireStriker Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I have found a patch in my install that changes the ssme mass, its an optional patch from CryoEngines that i used to modify the cryo engines to actualy use cryo. so at the stock mass of 4 or even 3.7, that will break the SOCK shuttle and maybe the CA Shuttle, right?

Gurke Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Every time I want to dock to a station with the docking port of the shuttle, MechJeb Autopilot has trouble with it. The Shuttle just flies away. However, the docking port of the payload I want to connect to the station, works perfectly. Please help me.
