I now have a considerable number of hours in SimpleRockets 2, but I can’t get my head around the whole plane business. Can anyone give any useful tips and/or help. My greatest success was to build a plane that got to 80,000 metres before ending its existence. By plane I mean a plane that can fly into orbit (eventually an SSTO). If anyone can help it just be of any use I would greatly appreciate that!

    If the Engine Inlet is blocked, replace the Nose with an Inlet so the Engine gets Air. If you need to get the COM in front of COL, try setting the Mass, of the Engine for Example, to 0 using the Tinker Panel found in the Part Settings and increase the Weight in the Front also using the Tinker Panel.

    If you have any Issues with not having enough Fuel, make a Fuselage as large as possible (50x50 in front and back, 50x25 on the Sides) and scale it to 5% Size also using the Tinker Panel. Then select the wanted Fuel Type and you have over a Million KG Fuel.
    Do not forget to have the Mass Scale of the Block at 0 to avoid any Weight added by the Fuel Tank.

    If you need any other Advice, don’t hesitate to ping me.
