Description

Some engine/decoupler pairings of the same size do not properly occlude drag. This results in high (if not completely unoccluded drag. This can be observed with simple rockets featuring this issue and the debug menu. Extreme drag vectors can be observed with just the aero forces overlay. Problem exists with both the decouplers and stack separators.

Observed bugged engines (testing was not exclusive; there could be more bugged configurations):
  • Terrier ("Truss" and "Bare" variants)
  • Poodle

There is a suggested change to the .cfg-files, in the form of a Module-Manager patch, at #20683

Either using Module Manager to apply the patch there, or making the corresponding edits by hand, can be a workaround.
