Tail Connectors

[kodemunkey]

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but when i use tail connectors, they don't seem to want to work for me as a tail, they do work very well as long nose cones though, what's up with that?

What do you mean? If you can attach them one way, you can attach them the other. Use WASDQE to rotate them.

Well, it seems i can't use them as an aircraft tail, even with rotating them correctly they don't want to attach.

Well, you kind of have to look at the aircraft at an angle and then attach it.

I think kodemunkey is talking about that minor glitch that makes tail connectors extremely difficult to attach in certain places. If that is what you're talking about, they fight you a lot, but you can make them go where you want eventually. Try taking off the part you want to attach the connector to, stick it back on the plane at some angle that the tail connector doesn't complain about, attach the tail connector to it, then move the whole assembly back where you wanted it in the first place.

Yeah, I have the problem with stubborn tail connectors, too. I assume the devs know about this, it's not only tail connectors that can refuse to connect but they have become especially stubborn in .16. Parts can sometimes be "tricked" into connecting by finding somewhere else that it WILL connect, then detaching it and, without dropping it, trying to place it where you really want it.
