Spaceplane won't come to complete stop

[jros83]

Hello all. I am having a slight issue with a career mode space plane of mine (not really a "space" plane but you know what I mean).

When it lands, I can not get it to come to a complete stop.

 

Example; I took off from KSC, and flew to the abandoned airfield off the coast. I landed fine, but despite cutting all throttle, and even unnecessarily manually shutting down the engines and closing the intakes, and even with applying brakes and leaving them turned on, my plane would just roll at about 3 m/s. Constant yawing would bleed it down to under 1 m/s, but no matter what, it will not come to a complete stop.

It is early in my career and early in my plane research, so the gear I am using is the starter fixed gear. I have not fiddled with their parameters other than disabling steering for the rear 2 and only have the nose gear steer.

So, the fixed steerable wheel is the one you're using? Well, that one doesn't have brakes  

The two lowest-tech landing gears are to be used together: one breaks, one steers.

they both -break-, really

D'OH!

 

I SEE NOW LOL! I was being dumb. Thank you!

I suspect that you also have the reaction wheel in your cockpit still active. When you do the yawing, the reaction wheel adds force, which keeps everything moving. If you disable the reaction wheel and then yaw, you will probably come to a stop -- even with brakeless wheels.

I'd say that you misspelled 'brakes' there, but given my experiences with the low tech landing gear I'm pretty sure your spelling is more correct.

Um, yes. I should have meant 'they both break, but only one brakes'
