Looks like pretty standard aeros so I'm not sure what's up... Expand It's hard to tell for sure from the 2nd pic, but are you certain that the vertical stabilizers are properly aligned front-to-back? It looks like they may be angling in a bit towards their rear, which could be producing just enough drag that, combined with the CoG being so close to the CoL, causes the nose to pitch up. Also, try dropping the canards as suggested. In-game they produce lift I believe. AFAIK, in real-life, this is rarely the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Quite possibly the issue, I might have to get tweakscale now to resize some wings since I don't particularly want have to snap dozens of structural wing parts together.

caipi Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Or just go for Opt (Legacy/Reconfig/Main). They have large out of the box wings, which are great for lift and big crafts. I don't like to add many 'tiny' wing parts either. If you don't like the rest of the parts, just keep the wings. Also, I find RCS Build Aid quite helpful when designing airplanes because it has the option to display the DCoM, the Dry Center of Mass. That way, I don't have to empty all tanks and then fill 'em again. I more than once forgot to refill a tank... -.-' Just a friendly advice from a fellow plane enthusiast.

Morse Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Love this, yet I have a problem with the cockpits. They are very large but not very heavy. Since the engines are located in the back most of the times, it makes it very difficult to make a proper weight balance without clipping. I understand that the cockpit must be big to have a proper aerodynamic form, but maybe it can be smaller on the inside? I propose to combine the cockpit with the service bay: carve some space from inside it to be able to place something heavy in there without clipping. Just like you already did for the crew compartment. Edited October 16, 2020 by Morse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your canards are angled upwards and/or have the deflection set wrong. For reference, here is a shuttle I made a while back that is slightly longer and heavier than yours. Expand I play with FAR, so this may not help with stock aero, but that looks far more convincing to me than those stubby little wings and tiny control surfaces. The other craft just looks very short of control authority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinsai Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 It seems that the cryotank switch is broken. I don't know whether it is an issue with b9, cryotanks or with your mod, but I figured I'd let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
