Flag planing bug

[magnemoe]

I landed on a planet and tried to plant flag but did not get any plant flag option.

Thought flag planting worked on all planets.

No flag planting option, tried a lot but could not get it.

An disappointed Jeb goes up again.

Lander details.

Leaving.

Burning

Mechjeb accent autopilot bugs a bit leaving so I had to do it manual and keep the nose up so I did not fell down in the atmosphere again.

The KAS grapling hook let you save while hover over Jool, however I forgot to add it and had to send an resupply ship to LKO, do an eva and mount it.

The delivery ship, used an jet engine and an intake I dropped

Mounted

Another strange issue, I dropped the accent stage down into Jool as an mission extension while waiting for an Laythe window.

However it would fall with the front down.

Don't understand as the center of mass is far down, heavy engine and little fuel. The top should have plenty of drag with all the stuff mounted around the top.

That's a crap load of picture for a general discussion thread man, you should embed an imgur album instead. Also, not quite sure why this is on General discussion but eh. Jool doesn't really have a surface, so yeah, stuff isn't gonna work well there, like planting a flag. And the atmospheric is wacky, especially at high densities, I don't think we should expect drag to work perfectly in those conditions. There's probably a reason you're nose up, but I can't identify it from here.

You're trying to plant a flag in a high-pressure soup.

[Blinkin]

To plant the flag you need a solid surface... you won't find a solid surface on Jool, that's for sure.

No, jeb was just jumping around. However somebody managed to do it. They crashed and did an eva and was able to plant the flag.

That the other person was able to do it is because of bugs. Jool is a gas giant. Imagine trying to plant a flag on Jupiter!

In the below, consider that we can't get very far into that "molecular" gas before the pressure crushes everything...

[magnemoe]

Yes, I know its unrealistic in real world, however the Jool has an sort of surface at -100 meter.

It destroys most stuff after short time, they bunches around and blows up, however kerbals are immune.

Airship anhors and some kas stuff is also immune, probably on purpose.

Have played a bit with Jool, so far I know that kethane mining don't work, flag planting is very hard.

With baloons its not so much harder to get out off than Eve, gravity is lower but you need an long an hard burn to circulate.
