1.1.3 - wheels inop? what gives?

Hi Xyphos!

It's tough to see in the screenshot, but it looks like you didn't rotate the wheel to face the proper direction in the SPH. They need to be rotated 90 degrees I believe.

If you rotated properly during design, then it could be from clipping the wheels into other parts with the offset tool. I have seen many posts regarding this issue.

Looks like your wheels are too close to other parts. That's been a problem even in 1.1.2.

This will be fixed in 1.2

Yes -- for now, don't use the "Move" tool to offset wheels so that they are extra close to each other, or to other parts, or they won't work.

If you're making a truck that can fit in a Mk3 cargo bay - it's going to take a lot of careful adjustments that can get ruined each time you gizmo something without deactivating the angle snap first.  It's hard to see where the wheels invisibly collide with something else, but that's what the game believes is happening.  

If you're just making a rover, then space the wheels way out to the sides and it'll be fine.
