Can't pilot it. What is wrong? (pic)

[brienne]

Hello,

Here is my Kethane shuttle still stuck with last stage of rocket, around Kerbin.

I want to use fuel in tanks below and throw them away when empty.

BUT I c'ant pilot my vessel as soon as I switched on those engines. It turns here and there...

Any tips plz?

(Used to have an engine under the tank, but when I tried and saw it pushing alone while 4 were waiting, I decided to change my plans...)

If it is spinning uncontrollably, there may be some part clipping creating phantom forces. There could be a fuel imbalance, too. Check the fuel tanks to see if they have the same amount. If there are any looping in the fuel flow, then there could be asymmetric fuel flow.

Does RCS help?

RCS not enough powerful to stay in line when engines on.

Gonna check fuel looping.

thanks.

It's hard to see on your picture, but if it veers to one side when the engines are firing, then you have an imbalance somewhere. Are you sure that all the engines are on? Are the fuel levels on all sides identical ?

I fix it. Engines were ok.

I just changed a bit fuel struts.

And one of them was (maybe) stuck on a MechJeb component.

It works.

Now, my prolem is seeing what fuel is left in big tank, as engines are connected to... everything.
