I have a rocket with a command capsule meant to carry my rover, which runs perfectly before adding my rover. My rover has its own command chip (obviously) and runs perfectly when alone, Vizzy programming and all. But when added together neither of them function quite right. The rocket cant control it heading and wobbles a little, and the rover seems to have a mind of it own as far as throttle is concerned. I thought it was a balance issue(as far as the rocket heading and wobble), but ruled that out. No replication is being used on either command unit, Is there a way to rule out the command chip on the rover all together until it is separated from the rocket upon landing? I have tried to disable the chip in vizzy with a "set part activated to 0", to no avail. Any ideas.
Here's a link to the rocket and rover attached :

This is easy to solve, only need to add in the first line of the mobile station control, and only run when the mobile station control chip is activated.

if it is connected by an interstage, use "wait until part #(interstage) activated = true" at the beginning of the rover vizzy - both programs seem to run at start when they are connected, even if it isnt under control or activated

I figured it out! Turns out I had to set pilot orientation to default on both the rover and the rocket. Set the rover to plane and the rocket to rocket, set the rocket as primary and voila. Not sure why that worked but it worked. Thank for the help.
