Help with fx for an engine

[Slapdat]

Hello ksp Forums.

I am having some trouble with my engine its config is based off the lv-909 engine and the fx is always on not just when the engine is on.

Any suggestions.

This is my config.

description = The 909 model was initially received with some skepticism by spacecraft engineers, as it defied the long-standing convention that "More Power!" is always better. Despite this, the 909 series has found its place in the spacecraft construction world, being particularly useful as a final stage and landing engine.

Thanks!

HAve you just changed the appropriate values for the LV-909 instead of creating a whole new engine? As long as you change the "name =" bit at the top and the "title =" so you can tell them apart it should work just fine.

After combing through your code (And comparing it to the LV-909) your node definitions are wrong. it should be these:

node_stack_top = 0.0, 21.6498, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1
node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -37.8251, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1

Assuming you are using the same size engine. What exactly did you change from the stock engine?

The engines are different sizes so i use the node attach component added in 20.2

All i changed was name and attach nodes.
