Landing Legs Skipped Leg Day

[James M]

Landed 2 crafts on Mun and 1 craft on Minmus all using the LT-1 “Wallaroo” landing legs in 4x symmetry. Every time I did, my craft would sink all the way down to its engines and start falling over. The most successful variation I had was the third mission (Minmus one), whereby I carefully placed the legs as high as I could and as much weight as possible on the bottom of the lander. It took a couple seconds to finally settle into a comfortable position, but upon initial landing it still LOOKED like it wanted to flop over. Am I missing something or are the legs just weak?

I guess I’m suggesting the devs take a closer look at how their compression behaves in general and try to stiffen them up a bit.

I'm experiencing the same.  It seems the default spring tension is not high enough.  What's working for me is to disable auto suspension and increase spring strength to max.

Even going to max the legs seem soft

Did you try adjusting the spring and damper strength?

Yes. Maxed then out on spring and damper settings and they generally still tried to flop. Not sure whats going on.
