Rocket engine malfunction

[m1017242]

The story is this, I was shooting my rocket up and then when it pass 3000m, the engines stopped and it showed there was no fuel flow, the engines restarted after the rocket got below 3000m and so on and on. So, can anyone tell me WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Are you using jet engines? Can we see pics of your ship?

If you can't post a picture, check the resources tab.

In the upper right corner of your in-flight screen, there is a tab called resources. If you click on that, it will give you a readout of what your rocket is using. This will also tell you if you're missing something that your rocket needs such as: Liquid Fuel, Oxidizer, and Intake Air to name a few. Check and see if one of these green bars is going completely empty. Let us know what's up there and we can have an easier time helping you.

A picture of your rocket is best though.

Metinks you are using jets. Or some kind of mod. Is this thing a plane or a rocket? [looked at post] Yeah, it's probably a rocket, using jet engines, and running out of the resource called "IntakeAir". Use normal rocket engines on rockets.

Do you have any mods installed? Particularly RemoteTech2?

My rocket has it too. Normal rocket engines, I have the problem with one specific rocket. Restarting KSP doesn't do the trick.

A picture of your rocket and a list of any mods would make it a lot easier for us to help you out.

I have this problem and it is just after i installed remotetech2, do you know why it does this?

[DonLorenzo]

Not having remotetech installed myself I'd hazard a guess that your rocket is unmanned and you're somehow losing signal? Again I have no idea what the mod specifically does, so it could be completely wrong, but perhaps have a look in that direction

There's a short range antenna designed for launches (omni-directional, doesn't need to be deployed). I think it has a range of 500km. If you don't add it, you lose connection.

Correct. At high tech levels (or sandbox mode?), all probe cores have a built-in 3 km antenna. Good for support ships flying around a main vessel, not so good for standalone rockets.

Look for the DP-10 antenna in the Science parts list.
