Ship not taking off despite TWR of 1.70


Recommended Posts

I made a ship to try to get to the Mun, however, when I try taking off, it only takes off at stage 4, despite all previous stages having TWR greater than 1. I'm very new to the game by the way.

I recommend removing the control surfaces from the bottom to see if that works.
My impression of what is happening if your TWR is over 1 is that the thrust is being blocked.

Yes, removing the control surfaces solved it! I had no idea the game even simulated thrust being blocked.
