Covering Engine bells

[Dexadrinne]

Hi guys 1st post on the forums.

With a question on adding a fuel tank under the engine. Hard to explain.. For instance looking at the say Saturn V separations. The bit that is being ejected covered the next engine sequence.. So as i am building my rocket i don't wish to see the whole engine beel sitting otop of the fuel tank. Like to see the fuel tank covering the Engine..

Use a seperatron or 2x docking port and it will cover the engine (in structural tab)

You need to use a decpoupler directly underneath the engine, this will cover the engine with a cowling when placed.

You can't hide the fuel tanks inside the fuel tanks sadly. Stock engines will have fairings generated when you put something underneath them, but if what you have more than one engine above, it won't work correctly. However this is rarely the case.

Stack decouplers or stack separators are what you want to use (prefer decouplers; separators tend to generate debris). Put that on the bell first and the game will generate a fairing for it; then you can stick whatever else you'd like underneath. Even if you don't stick anything underneath, the fairing still gets generated - then it's just a matter of setting up your staging so that all the decouplers fire at the same time.
