Spacecats! Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I couldn\'t tell you, maybe the big plane needs to be taller than the little one? Not sure, just joined. I can barely build a rocket that goes into the M\'s with stock parts ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberion Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 How are you attaching them?The default radial decoupler passes fuel, some modded ones do not. (the red one from G Variant radial tanks, and the long decoupler strut from Nova\'s SIDR, or even the explosive bolt from the payload fairings do not)If you ARE using a decoupler that passes fuels, its important WHERE you attach it. The plane with the command pod will be the 'main body' and thus the tank on that plane you attach the other plane to will be the \'parent\' of the connection, and all tanks attached on the other end are \'children\' - fuel flows FROM parents TO Children, but not in reverse, and fuel CANNOT flow up from other 'child' tanks connected below the 'connected' tank on the main plane.Now with diagrams!Left side: Green line shows fuel usage for the main engine, blue line for the radially attached stage/planeRight side is a mockup of a spaceplane, like one of C7s with the wing-mount engines. Blue line is the main engine fuel path, red is if the wings are attached to the topmost tank, green if attached to middle, and pink if attached to the bottom tank.

Saved for future reference!Also, features most likely allow inverted fuel supply using radial decouplers. We need em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
