Moving Over Terrain while in orbit

[Joeybafoey]

Hello,

I've just docked a multi-point hub with docking ports to my space station (in orbit). As soon as I docked, the camera started jiggling and wobbling. I tried to go to the space center, but It said that couldn't leave (i.e. last saved point was however long ago). I tried to timewarp, but it said that I could not time warp while moving over the surface. I also tried to quicksave, but it told me that I could not do that while moving over terrain. The hub IS docked to the station. I think it may have something to do with the probe body I used on the docking hub because I had something similar happen with an upper stage when I tried to re-enter it earlier today. Has anyone else been having this problem? If so, please help.

I have Tantares, Tantares LV, Mechjeb, and Hyperedit installed if that helps.  

Unfortunately adding media is "not available for my account", so I cannot put in screenshots.

Yes, but I had hyper edited to orbit for testing, so I thought it was that....

I get this with a couple of ships, but haven't really been able to isolate any cause yet...  I don't think they allow anyone to post screenshots... gotta get imgur and post links to imgur albums instead.

@tg626 - Love the Docking Sounds mod - thanks!

That does sound like a bug, in previous versions running all stock, i'd seldomly get the "glue kraken" where the game would think the ship is accelerating when its not, and all information is telling you the craft is not moving, in addition to controls not being responsive. Upon trying to time warp, it tells you you cant time accelerate under acceleration. Can you move the vessel when its in that state?

I haven't encountered said bug in a long time though. @Claw through rigorous work expelled that particular kraken to the underkerbin many-a-time ago

I would suggest making sure all your mods are up to date, installed correctly, and if you still encounter the bug try running the game stock. You may also have better luck posting this to the "modded game support" thread to get better attention

I just cheated my way out of it with Hyperedit, but I am going to do that tomorrow, thanks!

I had this happen too.  Mine was some time after using HyperEdit.  I was performing a long burn in orbit of Kerbol at 4x timewarp.  Apparently (according to log spam) my active vessel is landed and heightFromTerrain is negative (-1).

It's been a while since I've seen this bug. But every time I did see it it had something to do with part clipping.
