Something wrong with MK3 to 3.75 adapter?

[gogozerg]

Hello,

Everytime I use it, my engine decouples!

"Structural failure on linkage between S3 KS-25x4 Engine Cluster and Mk3 to 3.75m Adapter"

(0.90/Win32)

Am I doing something wrong?

- Very simple rocket: pod+fuel+adapter+engine.

- Liftoff: no problem.

- Time warp 4x ---> immediate failure!

Thank you.

Inviting the Kraken, with bait!

Don't use timewarp under acceleration, in atmosphere or 'exciting things' are very likely.

Same thing happens on Linux.

I know time warping may be bad, but I've never seen a rocket so fragile before, especially a sturdy looking one like this.

I found that the Mk3 parts are more fragile than anything I have seen before, if I throttle up my shuttle in atmosphere the whole thing falls apart. Sometimes even releasing the launch clamps makes it disintegrate.

Yeah, the problem here is just that you should never use 4x timewarp with the 3.75m parts - especially not with the engine running.

I've been using 3,75 m parts for centuries with 4x warp, and there's definitely something special here.

Maybe, but the game does specifically warn you against using it with big rockets. If you proceed anyway you do so at your own risk

I suppose you could try Kerbal Joint Reinforcement or similar, but I'm not sure if it would help.

O.o Probably... but who builds a rover with MK3 parts?! (besides that guy)

The Mk3 parts are very fragile. I once had a plane come apart when landing on the runway, and it wasn't exactly a rough touchdown.
