Is the a tutorial on how to link with a script?

Hi, for the last 2 days Ive been working on my spacejet. I got the first verions linked and flying but almost everytime I try to leave a sim it flies apart. So, I made a smaller version and I cant get it to link becuase objects are too far apart. My question is why could I link the larger jet but cant link the smaller one. Does anyone know a tutorial I can read or study to find a solution to this?

P. S. Im Sorry to all of those I "dropped" spacejet parts on. After my ship fell apart I did what I could to delete all of the pieces but could not find everything.

Thanks!

The linkable distance between any two objects is directly proportional to their size. Think of link distance kind of like gravity. The larger the object, the larger its link radius.

It sounds like your jet was probably right on the brink to begin with, which is why it was falling apart at sim borders, and then when you shrunk it, some of the objects became small enough that their link radii were now outside eachother's reach. I know you're not going to like this answer, but I'd suggest re-designing your jet. Eventually you'll develop a feel for what works and what doesn't as you get more practice.

Thanks for the relpy! you told me excatly what I needed to know. I just made my inside wings a bit smaller and made the outside wings larger and the small spacejet linked together with no problems. Even stayed together while I flew it. Although it did fall apart once while crossing into a very heavily poplulated sim. Flew it about 25 minutes after that with no problems.

Thanks!
