0.23 compatible... Dual Suspension legs

Here is my first published part for KSP. I've made several but they are not worthy for sharing at the moment. These landing legs though, fit the vanilla stock parts very nicely. I hope you all like and enjoy them.

Version History

v2.0 for KSP 0.22 25-10-13 Works in 0.23.

- Added the suspension module that came with 0.22. This also includes the (semi) Foot alignment to the ground that the module brought.

- Lengthend the leg overall to compensate for the suspension compression. Be careful though, as a heavy landing can damage/destroy your engine.

- Redesigned the foot.

- Changed the animation of the foot.

- #For the TechTree it is positioned in the node after the last stock legs. Which is 'Field Science' node.#

- Additionally changed the texture format to bring the file size down to a 1/6th that it was previously when mbm format was used.

v1.01 14-09-13

- Fixed the right click toggle menu. Lower and Raise do exactly that now.

- Made the foot thicker so that places where terrain acts lower than is shown, the foot wont look buried as bad. (Some terrain maybe deeper than the foot still but its a balanced size, so to not look ugly)

v1.00 Release

- Released 03-08-13

Known Issue:

Due to how the stock module (code) works. Having 2 suspensions like i have in these legs, displays twice the UI buttons. One for the upper suspension and the other for the lower suspension. Different effects can be achieved if locking suspension or retracting the two sections. Some effects maybe undesirable and nothing i can do to fix it, as i dont do any coding to make my own modules.

Shock absorbing is something we'ive thought about before i started making parts for ksp, but not looked into how to make it possible. Will keep it in mind though for the future.

That's what makes a great part, simple, fitting and usefull. Thanks!

bang_coi · August 4, 2013

Thank you for this. Awesome!

sirkut · August 4, 2013

Great part/plugin. I love the fact that we figured out 2 separate ways to level out a craft! Kudos to you guys!

Thanks but our landing leg does not level out the craft :s

Well it can if you adjust the spring tension incrementally didn't mean automatically.

Adie123 · August 6, 2013

Thanks for everyones comments and for downloading our part.

Teradyne · August 10, 2013

I remember seeing you link this in the chat of a KSP livestream awhile back. Very cool to see it released on the forum finally. Congrats!

Could have been mine, I do remember adie talking about it in my stream and then i went and downloaded it!

Hey adie, can we get a change log please?

Adie123 · August 14, 2013

Hey adie, can we get a change log please?

A change log?.. a change log for what?... nothings changed

Tyren · August 14, 2013

Hmm somewhat along this line:

v.1.x - Initial release?

doesnt make sense if theres not a further variant, doesnt it?

Adie123 · August 15, 2013

yeh a changelog/version count will come if and when something different happens.

lithobraking...I like that...

smurphy34 · August 22, 2013

I like this mod, but I think I have a bug report. (http://imgur.com/okQA6kk) Shouldn't this be lower gear? (http://imgur.com/itCknxX) And this one raise gear? Thanks.

lol, well spotted. I guess not many other people noticed cause its common practice to hit 'G' key for gear, but i'll defo look into putting that right. Thanks smurphy34

Haze-Zero · September 12, 2013

Did you try the following for correcting the problem?

MODULE

{

name = Landing Legs

activateGUIName = Lower Gear

shutdownGUIName = Raise Gear

}

You may need to adjust the .cfg file snippet I pasted to fit your particular legs, but it still may help

Adie123 · September 14, 2013

Updated version of the Telescopic Legs released. Same link to spaceport in the OP.

... Sorry Haze-Zero, i wasnt notified of your post, but i did manage to fix the issue by different means. Also expanded the depth of the foot, so that it doesnt look as buried as it used to be on some terrains.
