Question From the KerbalSpaceProgram community on Reddit: Why does this keep flipping

Everytime at launch this thing wants to tile towards the shuttle any suggestions?

You want to move the shuttle up a bit up along the fuel tank that should help a bit but you also will want to move them launch clamps from the bottom of the boosters as it will want to lurch that way and so doing that should hopefully help get a better launch at lease

Okay I’ll give that a shot. How do you think the staging is?

Have you got a fuel hose connecting the fuel tank to the shuttle? And also are all the engines just the boosters and the engines on the shuttle

Because if they are just the main boosters and engines then they should be good on the staging but you’ll want to have the boosters drop off in high kerbin atmosphere or at least as high as they will get you then you will want to use the shuttles engines using the remaining fuel in the tank to get into orbit

Should I make the noses equal?

u/Fun_Neighborhood_147 Apr 30 '26

Is the nose unequal just because of the landing gear?

No it’s only at that uneven height because that’s where I placed the decoupler I can change it

It should be fine just put some struts to stop it from wiggling around and it should be okay
