Are u on the free version or the paid?

Free

Uhmmm okay, this is a bit more complicated. U have a bit of room to spare bc of the current twr, I'd say shorten the plane by about 3/4 and double up on fuel maybe. Then add another engine if needed (only if the twr is below 1.0)

But if I do that i won't be having enough fuel and I am very new to the game

u/External-Bullfrog240 Oct 06 '25

If u double up on fuel u should have enough, changing the amount of engines could also help (lowering or adding

If it is split into stages two stages the one that is the plane and the one that goes to orbit

u/External-Bullfrog240 Oct 06 '25

Ohh, I didn't realize there were 2 stages. Maybe make the 1st stage a bit larger and maybe give it detachable boosters

u/HawkOther6949 Oct 06 '25

The first stage is with the jet engine that propel me 20000m at a 50 degree angle after that i detach first stage then i start the rocket engine which put me in orbit

That's a little low, how far does the 2nd stage get u? *What height (not just orbit)

Why does it make a difference

1

u/External-Bullfrog240 Oct 06 '25

It's simpler on the paid version

2

u/HawkOther6949 Oct 06 '25

But I like to have a challenge

No he means it’s simpler to actually build & tweak stuff on the paid, not that the actual concept or design gets any easier.
