Gigantor Solar panels flapping ?

[Warzouz]

Does anyone experienced this bug

I have a space station  generic design that did very well in 1.0.5. I'm using it in my 1.1.2 career. I can't post more picture, I'm not at home.

The config is quite simple : 4 gigantors are radially stick on a M-Beam 200 I-Beam, which is also plugged The Not-Rockomax Micronode (for looks) which is connected to a FL-A5 Adapter to the main stack.

In 1.1.2, evey time the ship is loaded when solar panels are DEPLOYED, all the panels start flapping heavily (literally). causing heavy wobble even if all reaction wheel are disabled.

The solution is to retract the panels (they still flaps...) save, and quickload. In that state, they don't flap and you can deploy them without issue.

Do you have this issue ?

 

If you want to try, you can DL the package in the following post. The ships is the "SESS large inward station" (it a sub assembly)

Well, there is sort of a known issue with connecting these parts onto the ends of the modular girders, but your configuration doesn't look all that stressing. The fix in that case is to add a strut to the modular girder to stiffen it up (though that's not helpful if it's already on orbit).

Is the rest of the station wobbling also, or is it starting at the solar panels?

Sorry, the posted pics is from my old topic and was hot in 1.0.4.

Here is a test on the launchpad. You can see the solar panels are massively moving. The 2 small probes are wobbling and the ship itself has moved from the center of the launchpad. On this pic, ALL reaction wheel are disabled.

EDIT and here is the design in the VAB

EDIT 2 : Important : this bug appear only if panels are OPEN when the scene loads. If they start retracted, you can open them safely and there is no wobble.

You can DL a test craft. Wobbles start 3 seconds after loading.

Ah, it seems that the problem is linked to the proximity of the gigantors

EDIT : No I found it, it's about part. I replaced the "M-Beam 200 I-Beam" by 2 "M-Beam 200 I-Beam Pocket Edition" and it doesn't wobble anymore.

This design is OK
