Landing gear


Recommended Posts

I think they have 0 drag when retracted, I'm not sure about the mass. And I think that the mass and drag would change depending if you had them retracted or not, instead of just being set to 0 at the start of the flight. I could be wrong though, someone should check that.

The ModuleLandingGear sets physics significance to 1 (which means not physically significant, i.e. no mass) at OnStart. That hasn't changed in many versions. That makes landing gear have no mass as soon as physics starts.

The drag differs between deployed and stowed, but that doesn't matter since the mass is zero.
