So... Uh.. This is new.

Loaded up a new heavy lifter build and this is what occurred. It remained stationary in that position.

if only you could strut it to ksc and relocate the whole operation lol

[Jas1126]

It happened again. I believe it's caused by the TT18-A Launch Stability Enhancer's overhanging the launch pad.

Might I ask what you're doing with all those boosters?

[LtHeckard]

Dude that's nuts! Nearly Danny2462 level there.

Obviously, delivering a Mk1 Lander Can to LKO.

Testing the limits of my PC. Seems I can much go bigger. XD

Try grabbing your command pod in VAB and moving the ship around. You might have one part that is floating somewhere under the ground.

I adjusted the TT18-A's one rocket over (to the right) and it fixed the problem. That's why I had come to the previously stated conclusion.

Seems you either used symmetry modes wrong, or placed your root part somewhere not directly above launchpad. Or both. Both of these have effects remotely similar to this.

Some of my experiments had launch clamps far off the launchpad and hanging in the air (since the box below it does not go all the way to the ground around) without any problems.

Edit: just a quick test:

As you can see in my previous post, simply moving the TT18-A's one space over (never moved the rest of the ship) fixed it. Not even sure how somebody could use a fixed property (symmetry mode) wrong. XD Well, unless they edited themselves. Either way, the ship looks fairly symmetrical.

I'm not saying adjusting one clamp couldn't fix it, because once you get behind certain limit, things start to be kinda random. But the reason is deeper. There seem to be a lot of parts in your ship, not sure how many but I know the game starts bending under its own weight after you cross about 2000 parts boundary.

I edited my post with a simple experiment but it's on previous page now. So here it is:

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

It does look like you have moved the launch clamps too far from the launch pad, is the ship rotated in the VAB?

[Rowsdower]

The vague title pulled me in. The craziness within kept me here. Good going.

Ah, I see. I didn't know about the 2,000 part issue. Thanks for the heads up.

The only thing I did with the ships core was move it up. No rotation or movements from side to side. Perhaps when I moved the part up it was slightly shifted.

I wonder if you could make something wide and tall enough that game wouldn't recognize it as being 'On the launch pad' so you could load up another ship inside the superstructure...

Hmmmm.

This question never needs to be asked. Boosters are their own reward.

If this develops further, we've got Kerbal Katamari!
