Anonymous Bug Reporter Posted January 7, 2024 Share Posted January 7, 2024 (edited) Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes OS: Windows 10 Pro | CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 | GPU: AMD RX 6700XT | RAM: 32 GB DDR5-4800mHz I wanted to test how the inflatable heat shield would float, and to my surprise, it likes to hop around above the water's surface. I observed a few behaviors, all of which I captured in the attached video: Starting with the shield deployed before launch, it would bounce around wildly on or above the water's surface. Starting with the shield retracted before launch, it would behave normally until deployed, after which the silliness resumed. Attaching a command pod (I used a Mk 2 Lander Can in my testing) provided the same results, except that when I retracted the shield again, it retained its propensity to jostle around This is not a major issue by any means, it is a small interaction and I find it rather funny, but it should probably be fixed someday. Thank you for all your hard work, it really is wonderful.

The Space Peacock Posted January 7, 2024 Share Posted January 7, 2024 Noticed this too yesterday. inflatable heatshields like to jump out of the water unless they're facing backside down. Inflatable heatshields should also be able to be buoyant like this (from the LOFTID mission): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
