Title, happens on every plane that i've used these particular legs on. Small ones have no issues.

@rotta Fantastic video.

I would love the craft file you used in the video for testing. Anyway you can upload that via another bug report?
If you can just tag me in the title and I will paste it directly into your original post.

That definitely needs to be fixed.

So I encounter this bug time after time with this craft. It's the middle VTOL plane where I encounter this issue.

For some reason, during the flight, the wheels decide that they want to be turned. Note that not the entire leg is angled, only the wheels turn.
This is annoying because if I want to land I can't since the wheels are sideways.

In this video I recorded the actual disallignment happening. At first I thought it happened due to high angles of attack/Gforces, but if you watch closely it happened in between meneuvres. I have no clue what causes it.

 

 

yes I have kapybara mod installed but I don't think that matters for this?

@Abelinoss, merged your bug report. The title is maybe not exactly what’s happening but it seems related to retracting/deploying.

If i deploy the LY-99 gear it should deploy strait  and facing the way it was placed. If I deploy the LY-99 or LY-60  gear about 20% of the time it deploys almost 90° to one side and also physics sees it this way so if you land a plane it will flip or slide.  It happens on the ground and in the air. The best way I found to replicate this bug was, to make a small plane and attache either gear on a procedural wing and then launch it. then you just extend and retract the gear a few times.

Started happening to me recently where I would be flying normally and whenever i came in for a landing and deployed my landing gear, the wheels will rotate in random directions in the rear causing a crash when touching the runway. Don't know if this is a common bug or not but wanted to share in case there was an issue with these wheels.
