Orange Tank bug?

[SuperWeenieHutJuniors]

I've noticed that when using the Rockomax Mainsail engine it always overheats in less than 10 seconds if you're using the orange tank. Does anyone know why?

It has to deal with the fact that unity manage the heating by the distance of the center of mass.

So the bigger the part connected to the engine is, the more chance you have to have the CoM far from that engine. and so more heating.

Good ways to deal with it are:

- Add a small tank above your engine.

- Throttle down.

Also Overheating is not a problem (at the moment) if it doesn't reach the far right side of the gauge.

Also You can use small structural panel between tank and mainsail, also it let You hide struts and fuel line (panels don't transfer fuel) between tank and the engine !

I always thought those panels allowed crossfeed. Who knew! now, back to correcting my SSTO's fuel flow > THX!
