E. F. Kranz Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Can anyone explain this?I built and landed a beautiful little rover. On one side, I put a folding landing gear (stock part), to simulate a soil analysis tool.Landed rover. Drove rover. Hit G to deploy soil tool. Hit G to retract soil tool. Rover flipped over, rolled several times, and blew up.Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryten Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Retracting the leg probably caused some of the part\'s colliders to overlap; this makes the physics engine freak out, causing large \'phantom\' turning forces on the overlapping parts.

Thanks, that clears it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostiken Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yeah I just learned that... had a satellite all lined up, opened up the solar panels, proceed to engage in 120,000 RPM spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephram Kerman Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The same thing happened to me on a rescue mission. After about an hour doing my first orbit synch, approach, and rendezvous, the disabled capsule was finally in position! Gently, gently, easy does it... slowly... close. Spin. Sigh. Release. Fling. Rage-go-to-bed. Now they\'re on their way to New Kerbin, wherever it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
