#Ferring glitch?

Has anyone had a problem with a rocket that stops responding to the normal keyboard controls X and Z after getting into space after adding a ferring to cover a rover or a probe core?

I've been able to successfully launch a probe core and rover with a decoupler that work fine, but when i modify the same rocket by adding a ferring to enclose the rover, the final stage engines stop responding to keyboard X and Z commands even sometimes when the stage engines are still burning. It seems to be intermittent, because sometimes it works and other times the ferring either won't deploy and/or i'll lose control of the engines (can't turn them off or on suddenly).

Maybe a mistake in construction on my part or does anyone else have this issue?

Will look into it. Does any light indicators below the navball become red in those cases?

#

I'll go back on the game in a sec and let you know if those lights are active

#

been having trouble reproducing the issue. Seems to be working now. But yes i did see red lights at one point below the navball

lime sun
#

All right, let me know if it reproduces

#

I was able to reproduce it. I launched the same rocket with ferring a second time and once i got into interplanetary space and went to perform a maneuver for Venus, i couldn't fire the engines and the ferring didn't deploy. There was a red light to the upper right of the navball.

#

in my previous attempt i was able to deploy the fering and stage in Earth Orbit, but i think this is a problem on the interplanetary level

#

i got a screenshot but i can't find it. I'll send it when i find it.

I was able to do a game capture video clip showing the ferring glitch. Note the nav ball controls completely fail to respond to mouse input and keyboard controls to continue the burn after setting a manuver for the Moon.

did a quick load fix it

#

also if theres a quick fix to it include it

#

helps narrow down where to look

#

also the solar panels and batteries did you place them on there so the craft could recharge

#

that might be why

#

or r they under the ferring

lime sun
#

That's why rocket doesnt receive any input

#

hmm.

#

so maybe i built it wrong, because i used the satellite probe core as a command module. So when the ferring deployed it neutralized the command module.

#

Here's what the rocket looks like without the ferring. Do you see an issue? Maybe this would be a good subject to cover in a new tutorial on rovers.

Could you please send here this rocket? You can find it under %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/unbeGames/Rocket Science/saves/ folder

#

I will take a look

👍 Super helpful!

#

Thanks!

lunar torrent
#

A side thought. Maybe a short tutorial on the difference between the different command modules and probe cores and how they affect staging. Just a suggestion 😉

#

Okay will do

#

heres an example of a dual probe core sat payload

Oh I see... I had it mostly right. How do you know if your probe cores are oriented correctly?

#

I was having problems with my nav ball being backwards

weary kiln
#

The light on them

#

The light should be on the right side the nav ball should show blue if it’s facing the right direction

#

When you turn with d the rocket should turn right

#

A it should turn to the left you rotate the probe to turn into a degree you want to head for orbit when launching

#

Usually good practice is to fall right head right with the grain of the planets rotation for a gravity turn to save fuel and accelerate fast

Helps get through the ozone also follow me on twitch I go live mostly every night so if you have questions please stop in to ask
