Great,  lets see how this evolves. Actually I was not even thinking about damage models,  only something that looked like a proper tank hull. And yes, the parts size is indeed a bad match!

Ladies and gentleman, the best thing that the koviet east-keuropean auto industry can give you: the kerbal yugo!  THE KUGO! 

Kool Kugo! Are you interested in sharing the .craft? I am in a Kugoslavian mood

Damn I did not see it, the picture was small lol

[nascarlaser1]

would a 1.4 version of the mod be backward compatible because of it being like the stock parts?

I'm trying to replicate your Airstair example vehicle. How did you do the front? https://imgur.com/a/0BUlL

How can I get the free pivot to work? I switch from locked to free but it doesn't change anything. It won't pivot around.

Great new parts, I think I may no longer need the KSOS vehicles! I think we need some variation with the engine/fuel cells, though, in one of two ways, because currently every vehicle almost has to have a hybrid cell to be able to run for a good length of time, but that ruins some designs. Either batteries should be built into chassis parts, or a specific version of the chassis with a hybrid cell built in. I can't create trucks like the ones scattered around the KSC that run for any length of time due to this.

Other minor things are: taillights would be really nice, a fuel tank like the stock truck ones, and the wheels should have some more distinguishing descriptions.

Alternatively for the fuel tanks, a part that allows tanks with set radii to be attached.

Same problem here.

Is it just me or is there something off with the suspension? It looks like it's largely dysfunctional. And If I set it to a really low value to test if the suspension moves at all, the vehicle behaves like there is no grip at all.

[blackheart612]

@theonegalen Your wheel problem's fixed now by the way

@nascarlaser1 Unfortunately no, it says so on my release post why.

@SquaredSpekz @Lvdovicvs Kerbal Joint Reinforcement?

@DocMop What's the problem? With tests so far, I see that there might be some damping problems but grip is just fine.

@Z3R0_0NL1N3 Improvements will always come, it's still the second release after all!

@blackheart612 Now, you have made aircraft and the corresponding service vehicles. Now, go make an airport.

Kerbal Konstruct for airport

at first i thought the widebodies will be looked like european trucks, i was wrong

btw u stole a landing leg for the airstairs

@blackheart612

I have build one simple car and set the spring strength of all wheels to 0.2 for testing purposes.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1337074481

The car is currently drifting sideways (in direction of the camera on the screenshot) with no friction at all.
I removed KerbalFoundries for this test but that didn't make a difference.

After some more testing:
The grip is missing only in the direction perpendicular to the driving direction. This means I can accelerate and brake but have no sideways grip.

 

This does not happen when the spring strength is higher. However I have no spring articulation whatsoever. I'll do some mod conflict tests.

 

Edit:
No spring articulation problem persists even with stock game.
No sideways grip under low spring power persists with stock game

No, I don't have KJR. I have KAS, that might be doing it.

[blackheart612]

@Bottle Rocketeer 500 Kerbal Konstructs is always there for you  

@[INDO]dimas_1502 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Hehehe

@DocMop Haven't tested with your settings, right now they work as default though, I'll look into your issue more closely, I did notice that there is no damping for the suspension so that one's tested. KSPWheels has no issue here, it needs to use its module before it can affect something. These are fully stock wheels and 1.4 has some stricter transform rules so there are bound  to have problems.

@SquaredSpekz I have KAS and it works, try without any mods and see if it works properly, what version are you using?

Has anybody noticed the tires jittering when they are attached to a B-Type chassis? I'm building a little truck thing like in some of the promotional screenshots, but it would seem that the tires jitter and cause some "steering bias" in some direction. It also makes the main body of the vehicle seem to be misaligned. I have KSPWheel installed, so maybe this is a collision problem? I'm honestly clueless.

Here are a few screenshots if it helps any.

I have this problem too but it seems to be fixed by having the front wheels motors on 

Idk

What's the problem? I don't understand it much...

sometimes the vehicles lean to the left or right while driving

this occurs with some wheels and the B type wheel chasis part

Hi @blackheart612. I'm currently playing KSP 1.3.1. right now, and I checked to see how the updated mod would look when I install it.

Added Part Variant switcher to all parts

When I checked it, some parts that used to be yellow are now gray/white/silver. I assume, on 1.4., I should use the variant switcher to switch back to yellow? I'm not planning on updating to 1.4 soon, so just a quick question: Are there any plans to support KSP pre-1.4?

Thanks btw, and I've been enjoying building trucks and jeeps using the previous version.

[blackheart612]

@memeconnoiseur I'm not able to replicate the issue, even with rear wheel drive. If anybody could provide visual footage, will probably help.

@johnkeale Some parts were used to export the white texture so yes, it's not going to work quite as well. Backwards compatibility will be impossible due to overlapping meshes from part variants, I might try to release a 1.3 version though, let's see.

[johnkeale]

Hi @blackheart612! Mikasa's so cool right? > _ <

Oops, got off-topic there. I tried using the updated mod on 1.3.1. and there are no issues so far. Though I also experience @memeconnoiseur's issue. But I chalk that up to my impeccable piloting skills. (Or probably Jeb's?)

...anyway, backward compatibility is just a teeny tiny humble hope of mine Maybe you could just make the default color yellow and just be able to switch to white? (To make things consistent?) I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that type of stuff, so I might just be rambling nonsense here. 

Either way, though I just tested things quickly, the parts seem to be working fine even in 1.3.1. I'll probably stick to the previous version for now though. Since I like how the color yellow blends in with that one seater truck that zips around inside the VAB.
