Landing struts for the XL rocket parts


Recommended Posts

Agreed that bigger/stronger legs are needed.  Not just for the XL parts; what if you happen to have a very big/heavy craft made out of the 2.5m parts or whatever?  Spaceplanes have gotten a lot of love with a variety of extra-jumbo-size landing gear; what about some love for those of us who like flying actual rockets?

Various mods have some nice large landing legs in them-- check out SpaceY and Karbonite.

Some good discussion of the "we need bigger landing legs" issue here:

If you need large landing legs, get SpaceY heavy lifters and SpaceY expanded.

There are Landing-struts for the tiny, small and medium(rokomax) rockets...
bot not for the Big rockets :)

yes there is a option with the "tweakable skales" mod, but that is not stock :/

*just my 5 cents*

And "No Stock" means:
I cant update the game, until the mod autors update their mods.
and so on.

Yes and landing legs in general need some love.  Maybe for 1.2 when they go to an updated Unity.  I've gotten in the habit of not using them very much--in a way coming up with various alternatives is fun too, but they are convenient and look better.  At least I can bump into them now (though I've become so paranoid about that I haven't actually tied it yet though it was amusing the first time or two).

I would love some landing legs which I can put under a stage instead of radial. Like chair legs.
And yes, some bigger legs would be nice.

This would also protect them against heating on re-entry.
