Destination beyond reach (rockets)

the weight of the oxydizer/fuel is taken into account when calculating the traveling distance, my advice is to put the minimun fuel required (the one dsplayed in ONI assistant) and the same ammount of oxydizer to minimize un-needed extra weight, i had a rocket that couldnt take off because i filled the oxidizer tank to the top, make sure you check the "total range" distance displayed when selecting the rocket by clicking in the left side of the star map.

Now that you mention it, I may have overfilled the liquid fuel tank with petroleum. It never occured to me that the fuel itself had weight even though it seems obvious. I'll try removing some fuel.

 

Thanks.

Edit: I now adjusted it and it still can't reach it's destination. 9289.0 km is its limit. I'm baffled.

Edit: Ok, instead of splitting the fuel between 2 tanks I dumped it all into 1 and it seems to have worked.
