I am working on a Multistage version of Titan 4 so that it can be used in Orbiter 2010. I am using the meshes and textures from CVEL Titans as a baseline and overall have a working setup with one exception.

At booster jettison the boosters always fall inward - thru the Titan Core and are not successfully pushed away as would be natural. I have looked at other multistage vehicle code and have not found anything special that is needed to make this work.

Any ideas about what is going wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the insight.

How exactly would you do that? I thought the jettison command didn't allow any parameters. I am just using jettison ().

Some detail would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Fixed

I finally fixed this myself although the idea of changing parameters was a good hint. I had to change the sign on the offset statement in the BOOSTER section of the configuration file.

This corrected the behavior.

I don't believe you can change jettison parameters.
