1.4.2 Landing Legs = Craft Wiggle

[Wilhelm Kerman]

Whenever they touch the ground they seem to explode for me. Probably because of the settings that they are on.

If people are able to raise bug reports (or even better add to existing bug reports) with craft files and save files that goes a long way to help us resolve the issue.

I appreciate that you guys are looking into this. I would like to point out that landing gear has not worked properly in almost 2 years now. 2 issues I opened years ago that were "confirmed" but never resolved...

Until Squad fixes it, a great "band aid" is World Stabilizer.

That is not the same bug discussed in this thread. And that one should be fixed in 1.4.2. Well relatively - your bug is quite complex due to a number of factors including: the terrain in KSP is procedural and changes depending on the users terrain setting and every craft is user constructed from many parts in many different configurations. (Perhaps I’ll do a dev blog to explain it when I have some free time).

But without going into it more now and derailing this thread which is about legs jittering and wiggling. Which is not the same issue.

edit: I’d be surprised if that mod doesn’t cause issues in 1.4.2 tbh

Again, I do appreciate your ongoing efforts. I'm only pointing out that the landing gear and other terrain interactions have NOT worked correctly in 2 years. It got broken during the big Unity upgrade and has never been "solid" since.

Wait, #9557 is fixed in 1.4.2? You mean stuff (by which I mean not landing gear) doesn't slide around all the time? Ground friction actually works properly? Finally.

Autostrut

[Silverwood]

I was just wondering is there a result for this yet?

At the moment I am unable to sue landing legs - unless I use the cheat menu.

I haven't tried the latest version yet as I already have a modded game in progress.

But I will bet a pound to a pinch of monkey snot that it's the same problem I reported aaaaages ago.

To see it clearly get a pod. pot an orange tank under the pod put 4 more orange tanks in symmetry around the orange tank.

Put legs on the 4 orange tanks. launch it. Start and stop time warp.

I mentioned that I think it's down to symmetry and Autostrut.

If doing the above no longer causes a reaction then I for one will be very pleased.

Currently this test is impossible to perform:

Perhaps if you turned on the unbreakable switch in the cheat menu?

I know that that would be a no-no for playing the game but just for the test?

btw. got to admit... the explosion was cool. Took out the water tower too ... excellent... but not really of course.. not supposed to happen. but still.. BOOM! hehehe.
