With all the Velcro use I thought I'd pose this question to the larger community instead of PMing Sputnik. Maybe someone else will find this useful at some point.

Using the Velcro Rockets' scenario "X-15 Blue Scout" as an example, what I'm wondering is if it's possible (and if so how it's done) to attach boosters to the first stage. The challenge is that the first stage here is already "pretending" to be parallel burning with the X-15 that it's attached to.

Here's the Velcro scn:
Code:
BEGIN_DESC
Launch an X-15 with underslung rocket payload.  Use RelaseMFD to release.  Once the XLR-99 is ignited, pitch up to 50 degrees.  Once the XLR-99 is extinguished, pitch down to level with the horizon.  F3 to the first stage.  Hit "J" to jettison it, and throttle up to start the Blue Scout's first stage engine.


B-52 carrier ship is cruising at 500 mph (223 m/sec), altitude 45,000 feet (13.7km).

What's tripping me up here is that Stage 1's "parallelburn" with the X-15. Strap on boosters don't like to parallel burn with things already parallel burning and naturally I get a CTD if I attach strap-on boosters this way.

Any ideas?
