Physicsless parts causing rocket to turn

[Serpens Solidus]

Physicsless parts seem to apply some kind of force in the atmosphere when they are not perpendicular to the airstream. See images.

It only happens in the atmosphere. I tested a bunch of different parts. Some parts caused the rocket to turn north as in the pictures, other parts turned it south.

Fixed your pics, gotta "view image" then copy the url.

All parts have drag now, even physicsless parts, this is normal.

I thought physicsless parts applied their physics to the parent part, and if that is part of the center stack then that would make this a bug (I too need his pics to clarify).

Mass yes, drag no, and no it's not a bug.

Fixed pics, hopefully. Stupid technology.

Oh I thought I got them working, must only have worked for me as they were in my cache after trying to fix them.

Hmm, if you can show craft turning south when they have parts on the north side, that would be interesting.

Very interesting, but easily worked around by using parts such as winglets, SAS with reaction wheels or engines with gimbals to stabilize your rocket.

If you want to report this as a bug please see the bug reporting guide
