Landing Legs seem not to stand up as they are supposed to

[Guest]

Moho: I'm sure a small planet

Lander: Then there should be no problem with the landing legs

Landing Legs: Umm...

So today I landed on Moho for my YouTube video (YAY!) But I encountered a problem where when I land the landing legs just seem to not stay up. Of course images of the situation on the bottom but if you know how to fix it or if it's just a bug please reply. I also had this problem in other videos...

Oh here is the video if you want to see a clip of the problem to get a better understanding. Start playing at 4:54

To me the legs behave as if the lander is too heavy and the springs are fully compressed. have you tried fiddling with the spring settings of the legs?

No I have not, can you do that mid-flight? It doesn't also seem to be a problem on other celestial bodies either. This also by far not the heaviest lander I used those landing legs for.

Yes. Set the "Spring / Damper" settings from auto to manual in the PAW, then you get the sliders.

You might have to switch on advanced tweakables in the settings.
