Weird liftoff position


Recommended Posts

Hello, please check the attached image :-D

Weird.jpg

The only add-on I have is the Kerbal Engineer.

I just placed my rocket in the launch platform, went back to the space center, entered into the radar to check the situation of Duna, accelerated to x100000 until Duna was in the right position, and finally I went back to the platform.

Luckily I don't have Jebediah in the rocket :-D

Just for your knowledge!

Regards

You were at x100,000 time warp with a ship on the platform, until Duna was in the right position. That could take a very long time. The physics engine is constantly updating the position of everything in the game. The problem is, with 32-bit numbers, you will get rounding errors. The position your ship is in is due to these rounding errors.

KSP tests the boundaries of 32 bit. Considering at has to deal with extremely large AND miniscule numbers in calculations constantly, I'm surprised it handles it as well as it does.
