Mods for airbags


Deimosksp

Recommended Posts

When I first read the title I thought you meant airbags like in a passenger car; as in for accident protection, for non-rover craft.  I'm thinking:  I'd rather have a  parachute and bail out early as an airbag in a lithobrake is not going to do the trick, ha ha

There used to be a standalone mod for airbags, but it has since been rolled into this pack.

 

Every time I've ever used these my craft just explodes on touch down.  I'm going under the 750m/s too, am I doing something wrong or do they just not work correctly?

I'm using probes too so it's not like I'm turning my Kerbals into green jelly.

I haven't actually used them, but when I was finding that link I thought I read somewhere that you have to be going below 500m/s.

 

Edit:

Per the original thread -

NOTE: DO NOT USE THIS AS YOUR SOLE DECELLERATION MECHANISM! These are fun and bouncy, but will not allow you to collide into mountains at 500m/s!

I looked at the configs, and each size has a different crash tolerance.

Small: 150

Medium: 200

Large: 250
