Rover Wheel Motor Always On

[Dr.Krentist]

Hi everyone,

I finally made it to Laythe, and I put a tiny rover on the surface as a result. Unfortunately, after timewarping to get my relay in position to control it, the wheels are always active, and my reaction wheel always pitches down.

I can still drive the rover around, but to stop I have to disable the motor on all the wheels, and disable the reaction wheel outright. Its a shame since it has been a long and hard journey to get where I am.

Can anyone help?

Do you have a joystick/gamepad connected to one of the ports on your computer? It sounds like there's some spurious controller providing a continuous "W" input.

I have an Xbox controller plugged in, but its off and nothing seems to be touching it

This may just be another rover bug, just like the steering issue I had on previous rover (where the wheels would steer into each other)

Tried Alt+X to clear trim? (I could've sworn that besides negating trim settings SAS also stops the wheels from turning but I just tried it and it didn't.)

And the steering issue sounds like an incorrectly oriented controlling part (eg probe core pointed upwards).
