Olsson Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hello,My three stage rocket while standing waves side to side being really unstable, this continues even when I\'m flying and I don\'t know what to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trbinsc Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I believe this was a result of a failed attempt to make rockets hula dance. Try adding lots of struts, they are ment to make craft stop wobbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMadGameplay Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Struts usually work a treat when you are in this situation. So if you have boosters connected or tanks on the side, it usually works if you create struts from the top of them, up till the highest they go.

trbinsc Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Also, if nothing else works, devising a way so that the rocket doesn\'t sit on the engines also works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchen_Duty Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I downloaded your ship and tried it out. I did not fly it because I\'m busy watching movies but here are some my initial thoughts:You need to move your quad rockets on the side down the ship to make it more stable. I\'d go even further and change them into solid boosters (for added stability) on the launchpad. Also, since it seems you have the sunday punch pack installed I\'d add some other things to you rocket:[list type=decimal][li]Add fixed wings somewhere, a set of 3 or 4[/li][li]add some of the sas 2 venier boosters from the command control tab, they are vectoring rockets and allow you to steer better[/li][li]I\'d put a smaller tank and make a middle stage somewhere, so you can eject the heavy tanks and use a lighter system on top[/li]Since you have those packs installed, here\'s my current test build (work in process!) for my moon rocket, I have a lot of struts installed to help with wobble and many stages.

Download belowPart YMASasModule is missing.Anyways I made some adjustments to my rocket and I have some issues:- Turning on the SAS system makes my first and second stage rocket wobble alot and this means I don\'t get a straight trajectory as it moves from side to side scrambling the gyroscope or whatever it is below.- The wings dont do anything? Aerodynamics wing don\'t really do anything do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmo-not Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Correct me if I\'m wrong, but I don\'t see any struts connecting the outer stacks to the inner stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchen_Duty Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Correct me if I\'m wrong, but I don\'t see any struts connecting the outer stacks to the inner stack.There is a decoupler but no extra struts, they can be added for more support obviously, but they are just solid booster rockets so they burn quickly and eject off.Tried to upload closer shots but the server doesn\'t like me today apparently. I\'ll try again later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo-not Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I\'ve experienced that one source of wobbliness is caused by stack decouplers. Try adding struts between the radial tanks of the lander and the ascent stage, and between the the radial tanks and the main body of the lander.
