[1.1.2] Airplane Crash

- 1.1.2

- Airplane
- Control: Keyboard

I've get back to KSP after a bunch of time, about a year, the game still amazing and very funny, while you still on rocket, but airplane become a torture.

In older version they was much more playable, and for Playable I mean, that in landing-phase they wouldn't explode as they touch the ground (with the wheels ).
Also, during the flight  when the fuel decrease the plane become pretty unstable, in some unpredictable way, for example as soon as you push Q and E it start rolling as hell !!!

I've also decreased the sensibility on ailerons at half of the value and used the caps-lock but the crazy rolling rest, so try to align the airplane to the runway and land is a real mess!

Squad should think about it, 'cause there are a bunch of many causal-gamers out there and crashing the plane so easily it's  very frustrating.

Regarding the landing gear: try putting larger gear on the plane. You may have too much weight on too-small gear. The gear are no longer indestructible, the way they were pre-1.1, and size matters.

As for your flight instability issue, a screenshot of your plane would help.

Even more strange, if in Career mode I have noticed all issue, in SandBox with Aeris I've been able to land at 80m/s and bouncing a couple of time without damaging the airplane.

Regarding Landing Gear I've just LY-01 and LY05... but maybe, as you say, the the weight is too much... in this case log at then of the mission should inform the user in some way, I guess.

 

Here is the shot.

Ok, I've made a new version, much more light and I can confirm that's was 'cause the weight.
