Ixamyakxim: What am I missing?

Lin545:

Vythonaut:

Ixamyakxim: Thanks for getting back to me both of you. I think it was just some sort of odd one-off glitch. Next time I started up the game everything worked fine (and has since worked fine) again.

Vythonaut I actually went back to look at electricity because one of the threads I found on the Kerbal forum mentioned it (I did a search for my issue). I hadn't been running SAS and I'm still very early in the game so it's really a basic model rocket - I didn't think it would be an issue.

So weird glitch I guess that seems to have worked itself out. No issues since - well except for me slowly working my way through what I'm doing ;)

Ixamyakxim: So I'm early on and having a few issues.

One of the big ones is that adjusting my thrust doesn't seem to effect my engines. In the tutorials, if I used my keystrokes to turn my thrust to 0 or MAX, my engines would promptly cut out. I could head toward peri / apo and either go full throttle or 0 throttle at a moments notice and my engine would shut off / go to full power.

Now that I'm playing the game, this doesn't seem to be the case. I'm certainly properly staged, and using an engine that can be turned on / off. But I'm having issues with my throttle keystrokes. I can hit the "Zero Throttle" key, and the throttle meter on screen will go to the bottom, by my ship won't actually turn off it's engine.

I can manually "deactivate" the engine by right clicking, but sometimes this isn't ideal for fine control. I miss being able to hit the key for 0 throttle and being able to shut off my engine. Now, my throttle goes to 0 on the little display in the lower left corner, but the actual engine won't shut off. What am I missing?
