Support adding fuel to Velcro payload

[n0mad23]

I'm sure the solution is another I'm overlooking, and I'm hoping someone's got the quick answer here.

I've attached Liber's Boeing X-37 onto various Velcro rockets (the Minuteman 1st stage, the Castor 120, etc.) but when the X-37's released, it's always without fuel. Looking at the documentation, as well as various scenarios provided with Velcro Rockets, I thought it was the last set of numbers in the payload string:

Stage1:Velcro/Castor120
STATUS Landed Earth
  POS -80.6858943 28.5906643
  HEADING 330.01
  ATTACHED 0:0,ztc-B52-Cat
  CONFIGURATION 0
  CURRENT_PAYLOAD 0
  FUEL 1.000
  MaxFuel = 49032
  MaxMainThrust = 1650000.0
  PRPLEVEL 0:1.0
  CENTERTHRUST 0
  PAYLOAD X-37a X-37a Spacecraft\spacecraft3 0.0 0.0 8.0 20000 0.0 0.0 1.0
END

In this example, isn't the "1.0" at the end of the PAYLOAD string setting the fuel?

Thanks in advance for any guidance here.

Yes, there's an extra zero in the PAYLOAD specification. With that, the 1.0 at the end is never read, because it's one parameter too many. Try:

PAYLOAD X-37a X-37a Spacecraft\spacecraft3 0.0 0.0 8.0 20000 0.0 1.0


Sorry about that. I'm not sure where you copied that from; I copied it from somewhere else, and there are far too many one-parameter-too-many lines in Velcro still, even though I've been trying to get rid of them.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm having so much fun with the Velcro toys currently, and I think you've just resolved a head-banging source of personal frustration.

I love how user friendly this addon is, and how easy it is to rapidly configure test platforms.
