Decouplers not separating

[Pawelk198604]

The stage separation not working as is should when i hit space the decouplers should fall and reveal the 2nd stage engine, now when i hit space stage 1 is separated but decoupler is still in place.

... simply rotate them by 180°? No?

I think the OP is talking about radial decouplers and their ejection angle/force not working correctly.

Thanks for support but i think "slumpie" has right i talked about regular declarers

Pawelk198604,

Please provide some pictures. Typically this problem is caused either by an inverted decoupler, or one that has been attached too far up the connection node, where it's attached the correct direction, but the bottom node of the decoupler gets connected instead of the top. It can still look normal in the second case, so perhaps check that connection. Otherwise we will need some pictures or a .craft file.

Cheers,

I have something better than pictures

It looks like your decouplers are mounted upside-down. The arrow should be pointing up to do what you're looking for them to do.

But did two launches once pointing arrow up once down and result is the same

EDIT: That's my crafts file

Actually, on re-watch, it looks like the small fuel tank is "embedded" in the decoupler instead of being attached to its bottom node. That would also cause this problem.

I tried to correct, i did not have this problem in 0.24.2

EDIT: Hang on...

The first decoupler is attached with the bottom node to the node of the engine.

If you haven't solved it yet. If you look at these images you'll see the problem.

You see the decoupler has two nodes and there are two tanks in the same position.

If you look closely in this pic you see that the right one is higher up. The decouplers bottom node grabbed the storage instead of the top one. this prevents the decoupler from detaching.
