Lock Landing Gear

So when was lock landing gear (legs) removed from the right click menu? Had a rover that needed extra ground clearance due to a last minute bonehead edit of mine. Its fixed now but just in case I need it again sometime.

It was removed with the 1.1 update (Unity 5.x, PhysX 3.x+). 

The new Unity wheel system does not support wheels with zero suspension, and even small suspension ranges are quite buggy (check out the fixed landing gear, which -should- have zero suspension, but in fact has like 0.25m worth of travel).

Thanks. Looks like I need to be more careful from now on.

One thing you can do is to crank up the spring strength to the maximum.  It'll still sag some, but not as much as untweaked.

Just checked, this is a great option to remember in the VAB but sadly is not available once on the launchpad. This is why every part of a mission should be checked before heading halfway across the solar system. I've been making lots of trips to Mun. Almost have everything tweaked out. I was just sad to find this one feature is no longer.
