Inconsistent directional behavior by rover wheels

[eightiesboi]

All,

I am designing my first rover, and I have a problem that has me stumped. My wheels don't behave consistently in regards to directional controls. Sometimes forward is forward, and sometimes forward is backwards. If all the wheels behaved the same, I wouldn't have a problem, but the rear wheels and the front wheels are not in agreement. In the latest version, three out of four wheels agreed as to direction, and the fourth went the opposite way.

Suggestions?

Can't load your craft, it has some mod parts on it - scansat?

This is sometimes causes by having more than one pod/capsule and sometimes by the way you put the wheels on. I'd try taking the wheels off, discarding them and adding new ones (of the same type) and don't switch symmetries whilst placing them.

In the VAB, while constructing, you can right-click on the wheel(s) not behaving and invert their operation.

Sorry, yes, it has the BTDT part from ScanSat.

I will try reapplying them...

If you mean, invert steering, that is true, however it isn't the steering that is the issue but the direction of movement (forward vs. backward)

I think your issue may be in the way you place the wheels in VAB. Try making the rover in SPH, or use mirror symmetry (press R in editor).

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am using mirror symmetry already.

What are you using to control it? (Probe core, command pod, docking port?) Make sure it's oriented the right way. And maybe try remapping the controls to IJKL, since the default WASD will also try to rotate you.

I was using a probe core... and the suggestion to delete the wheels and reapply them worked perfectly... thanks all for your help! Repped!
