Sudden flight-profile changes 1.1.3


Recommended Posts

This bug has not manifested since 1.2.~ release. 

Okay, I've been having one of those "sometimes" issues and I can't stand not knowing what's going on with this one. Do any of you have apparently random lock in your flight profile? My plane just REFUSES any input to pull up, while all the control surfaces animate to perfection. I can roll, yaw and pitch down sometimes. Not one single degree of pitching up. I'm on a cell right now, so you can expect more info on the subject very soon at request, but here's what happened most recently...

My one great love in KSP revolves around the aerodynamics and the Good Ol Infernal Robotics. VTOL. A bit o' Tweakscale too though. No, I'm not placing multiple radial engines around just to switch between them to fly horizontal or vertical... That's a huge waste of parts and my poor lil laptop suffers enough, thanks. Not to mention you'll have some serious efficiency concerns... I use Infernal Robotics Rotatrons to maximize thrust vectoring with various engines and designs.

Anyhow, I digress.

I built this adorable VTOL jet, "Lil Paw," and have been having a blast landing atop the VAB, island airstrip's control tower roof, and each of the heights of Tut-Uhn Jeb-Ahn even. But apparently random disaster is creeping into my good times...

I note a strange downward lurch first each time and automatically get liquided off because I know my Kerbal is screwwed. 

I vie for control of Lil Paw by shifting the jumpjets around to maintain altitude, and I might even have some success getting stable, but no matter what I do, Lil Paw has absolutely no pitch UP. I even tried flying upside down, pitching down (which translates to up, away from gravity of course,)  to no avail. Ultimately, the result is a total loss of control and RUD(rapid unplanned disassembly, AKA BOOM.)

I'm thinking this may be a physics bug with the 1.1.3 update, but I'm not coding-savvy, so here I am, screaming all the way to the ground lulz....

I'm running Win7 x64bit 1.1.3

Mods used: Kerbal Engineer Redux, Infernal Robotics, Kerbal Attachment Systems, Kerbal Inventory Systems, Kerbal Aircraft Xpansion(with Firespitter,) Kerbal Planetary Base Systems and Tweakscale.

Thanks to all in advance for helping me solve this buzzkill. I really love flying the crap out of Lil Paw but sometimes I'd rather test my laptop's structural integrity with my face... repeatedly lol
