[Solved] Matt Lowne's Space Shuttle Issue


Recommended Posts

Here is a video with a timestamp: KSP: REALISTIC Shuttles are a thing now!

I downloaded the shuttle that Matt Lowne built in this video and tried launching it into an orbit as well. I'm doing pretty much everything the same way he did but when it comes to the last burn, which completes the orbit, the maneuver node shows that I need around 900 m/s of delta V to make it. In the video Matt Lowne needs just 200 m/s which is considerably lower. The problem is that this shuttle uses two terrier engines which are not very powerful, yet they can still manage a 200m/s burn in a reasonable time. 900 m/s however is too much. I didn't change any part of his craft and went up to 100km for an orbit the same way he did. 

I have a few modes installed but none of them are supposed to affect this.

I'm completely confused as to why this is happening so please explain what the problem might be. I checked all the updates after the upload date of his video and there was no nerfing of the terrier engine.

P.S. Nevermind, I figured it out. I just had to tilt much more after decoupling SRBs so as to use more of the main fuel tank before decoupling it. Now I'm not sure if I should delete this post or let it stay here in case other people might find it helpful

You can't delete your own posts.  But even if you could, it would be best to leave questions up as they can help other people in the future.  Thank you for updating with the solution!
