Anyone else have this problem with Eve?

EDIT: and on an unrelated note is it possibly to fly an Ion powered plane in Eve's atmosphere? So I can search for a suitable landing site for this lander?

I had serious trouble with shaking in map mode at Eve myself.. as for the Ion plane.. not sure, but thicker atmosphere means more drag and higher gravity to work against I would think. I believe they won't work.

here is the shake in map mode, notice it stops when I focus on Eve itself:

Thicker atmosphere also means that wings generate more lift, so there's some balancing possible. I do recall someone had made an Eve Ion glider somewhere, but that was also back in .18 or .19 I think.

I just got ~30:1 glide ratio using the new stock parts... with the sun going down while I was still at 800m AGL. This is a prototype for a glider drone I eventually hope to drop on Eve, so I certainly hope that ions can do the trick. That being said, Eve's thicker atmosphere make for more drag so I honestly don't know if it'll work.

Are you talking about the graphics of the planet looking like giant squares? I have been getting some of those.
