SimonTheSkink Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I've been making craft in KSP1 for quite a while and understand the parachutes well enough to get them to work in most circumstances. But for some reason it's extremely difficult to get them to work correctly in KSP2. Has anyone else had this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MehJeb Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 let's say "everything is bugged" in 0.1.0 - like everything, really... I'm done bug-reporting for today (gotta go), but I was going to give parachutes a try the next time i "play" ))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your engines are shutting down and will only reactivate if you go through each engine individually without pausing the game (which makes for an intense booster landing) then activating the parachutes via action groups or parts manager might work.

That's not quite the issue. I can't get them to fully deploy or even deploy at all. I understand that there is supposed to be a safe/unsafe time to use the chutes but even when I fire them in the safe zone, the never fully deploy, even after adjusting the pressure levels for them to open. Eventually they shift into the unsafe zone and the chute just sheers right off, leaving my vessel plummeting to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
