Probe exploding just after quick-loading while landing to Eve

[Elok]

So I send a probe to land on Eve and after a few missed landing, I've mass-used the quicksave feature during each part of the landing.

Problem is, now when I'm loading that quicksave, my vessel literally explode without giving me the time to react.

Most of the part of the vessel are hot, parachute are deployed. Help me save my hard work?

Could it be you opened up a cargo bay with the doors pushing away some other parts of the craft?

Happened to me as well, with the craft literally desintegrating into all the parts used to build it after a quickload. Solution was pretty simple though - keep on reloading until the physics engine decides to pass the check on integrity (took me about 8-10 reloads) and be careful about placement of the cargo bay doors in the future.

Sadly no. The vessel is a little probe send from my ship. It have very few component.

I've tried to reload it about 20 time and each time seem to yield slightly different result, but my parachute are always blow off so my probe crash on the ground.

Is there a way to deactivate the physics engine (or something else) for a few second until the probe stabilize so I can reactivate it again?

Try hitting alt+F12 and check one of the options in the "Cheats" menu, one of those that ignore heat damage or makes your ship indestructible. But that's exactly what it is: cheating whenever you consider it stabilized, uncheck the cheats and alt+f12 the debug menu away.

None of the cheat prevented the explosion of my probe but messing around the Physics Drag settings worked! I was able to land my probe successfully!

Sadly now, I've messing with the option without writing down the default one. Does anyone here know them?

If you delete the physics.cfg KSP will make a new one.

Excellent, thanks a lot!
