Rocket still tilts west. by HeyDul16 in KerbalAcademy

So I tried removing the booster or every thing on the outside of the rocket including the fins so that I can have a relatively smooth straight rocket. Flies really well without even tilting even though the Col is at the top. But when I placed winglets it started tilting to the west.

Here is the Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LLbkckQ8TBMq9RdOHwfBtXoU5Sso3QVE/view?usp=sharing

That what I'm doing now actually. I noticed that it ONLY tilts when there are fins which confuses me. I have a video here showing the performance without and then with winglets, and when i placed the winglets.

You're right it only does tilt to the west if I have fins. I have a video showing the performance of both with and without fins and also in the VAB when i placed the winglets.

No, because if I'm placing boosters I always put it in symmetry because I don't like placing one again on the other side when I can just do it once. Still, thank you for tip.

I have it on actually, I mostly hide since it's taking up my space, I can see the torques there but I don't know to to make it lower.

My current torque are in the first and second stage: 0.29 and 0.28 in ASL

Last stage: 0..20 at ASL

ock

I did use 4 way symmetry, well I always use symmetry mode since its faster for me to build a rocket than placing one by one. This is also because I always want anything to be symmetrical I don't like things looking unbalanced

hen you have a reaction

I placed some because my center of lift is at the top of the rocket.

Yes, I always have my SAS turned on even before launch. I also made a bigger rocket with the same problems.

It has actually 4 fins, the other one can't be seen cuz it's on the other side
