No working liquid fuel engines


Recommended Posts

I think the problem you’re having is that you haven’t throttled the engines up and so they (correctly) produce no thrust.

  1. Build this in the VAB: Mk1 pod > FL-T200 fuel tank > Swivel engine. Make sure there’s a Kerbal in the pod, by default Jeb should be in there.
  2. Click launch to get it out on the launchpad.
  3. Throttle up to full power with Z or by holding shift until the throttle reaches 100%.
  4. Stage with space.
  5. Take a screenshot and post it here.

The rocket should go up extremely fast; if it doesn’t then something is wrong with your install and you should try uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

Solid fuel engines don’t need to be throttled up and once ignited will burn until their fuel runs out, but liquid fuel engines (both rockets and jets) are throttle-controlled and won’t produce any thrust unless you increase the throttle.
