I figured out the problem with the landing gears

[Xyphos]

Landing gear tires are supposed to be inflated with Nitrogen, which is an inert gas.
however, one of the Kerbals in the tire service department got confused and used Nitroglycerine instead, causing them to explode upon impact or stress.

We don't know how many tires are affected so we're just going to have to dispose of them all and order new ones.
delivery should arrive shortly, so please wait until then.

So a solution would be to deflate all the tires before landing! That would definitely solve our problem and not cause bigger problems!

My main problem is that after touchdown my planes keep bouncing off the tarmac... so this might actually be a good solution. That or covering the landing strip with jelly. At the very least it would make landing delicious.

I don't care whether or not this fixes the landing gear; This is an excellent idea!

Were' talkin' about a major recall here. Probably from FIREstone. All "Expeditions and Explorers" rovers, off the road now!

Actually, I believe the brand name on our tires is LightYear...

Not sure which is more puzzling:

@SpacedCowboy quoting me but not saying anything, or the fact that @cubinator "liked" it.

Nice try. However, this does not explain why tires adopted this behaviour after migrating to 1.1 although they had been in use before the version change without any pathological behaviour ...

PS - It occurs to me that I may have gone a bit obscure, even for this crowd, with the phonetic C3H5N3O9 reference.

JoeNapalm, Sorry, don't know how or why it came out like that, but it was not intentional.

No worries man.

I've had so much coffee today, I'm not even sure any of you are real.
