I noticed something odd with the Launch Clamps

[Runescope]

I went and played KSP for the first time this week (after it updated to 1.1.3 yay!) and my first launch I noticed something a little odd with the launch clamps.

 

They're not supposed to travel along with the ship yesno?  lol
It's probably a mod I have installed, but I thought it was funny, and maybe someone might know what mod is causing the problem.  I have several dozen installed.

Launch clamps travelling into space is a older and known bug.

But I have never seen them travel with the rocket right of the launch pad. Yet similar issues with launch clamps have occured in the past usually after getting past a certain altitude up into space, although in a different way then you are experiencing. This probably means it's a bug exclusively for V 1.1.3 of ksp.

Oh and you posted this in "modded installs" instead of "unmodded installs"
The picture doesn't hint me to any mods in use

Mistakes can happen

Oh the mods are there for sure   When I get home, I'll try again in a vanilla install, and then start adding my mods in again.  There's just too many to list here.  So many mods.  lol

I had the same problem, it come from  Exptraplanetary Launchpad.
Edit the "ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads \ EL_MM.cfg" file and comment out the block "@PART [launchClamp1]: FOR [Launchpad]" Like this :

// @ PART [launchClamp1]: FOR [Launchpad]
// {
// @MODULE [LaunchClamp] {
// @name = ExtendingLaunchClamp
//}
//}

This had fixed the problem for me in the meantime of an update.

I have this problem too but i do not have Extraplanetary Launchpad...

I found which one was causing the problem for me.  It was the Simple Construction Mod.

Max Rebo recompiled to the .dll pending official update of EPL. This also solves the problem

@Runescope, Simple Construction uses the EPL "Launchpad.dll", you can download EPL and try to put "Launchpad.dll" in the SC folder.
