Updated - I can do a quick part weld with part welder to see how it works out. But has anyone heard from dragon? It seems people on the origional forum cant get hold of him or he hasnt posted in a while I can make the tank a lifting surface and test it out I could put the centre of mass of the tank inline with the wings but the main engines will have to point in a new direction which wont look right. Also with the rolling on ascent it seems the wings want to lift above the heavy fuel tank. I have been flying with sas which helps it. I will check the cfg file to make sure I got it right. Also I think I did the gimball on the oms engines. I may have to edit the actual model file. Thank you MrMeeb, I am aware of the engine mount issue, it shouldnt be doing that but it does. I know what you mean about the nose diving

Could you please copy and paste the modified values here so I can change the cfg's and release a quick patch and inclinclude it in the next full release. Edited by liguidhype Thanks for your excellent analysis on the shuttle.

I will have a crack at this issue and post when I find a solution. There is no controlling it at that point and it is not possible to bleed of the speed due to lack of roll, pitch and yaw control. After re-entry the vehicle is diving at 40 degrees nose down at close to 300m/s. It also seems that FAR is not calculating drag properly. As you can see, when fuel = 0% the CoM is so far forward that the shuttle is pretty much a lawn dart at that point. The picture shows where the CoM and CoL lift are before I edited the cfg files. The way it was before, the CoM was already in front of CoL 100% fuel, so when all the fuel was gone, the CoM was so far forward that it basically had no pitch control during re-entry and approach to runway. What this does is it lets the CoM move forward to where it should be when all tanks are empty of fuel. I went into the cfg files and moved the CoM back (basically put it on top of CoL) 100% LF/OX & mono. Lack of pitch control on descent (CoM too far forward) Lack of roll and pitch control on ascent (up to 10km, then it has minor control)

So I've spent about 3 hours testing the shuttle in FAR, and these are my findings.
