B9 and FAR CoL problem

[sralica]

I am running KSP 0.24, FAR 0.14.0.2, B9 (like here) and B9 pricefix 1.0.

When I put wings on S2 fuselage wide body 4x 1,25m engine mount LFO, S2W wide body fuselage adapter, HL cargo fuselage narrow tail section, HL cargo fuselage wide tail section the CoL is shifted to the side. Everithing is simetrical. This in not a problem when putting wings on S2 fuselage wide body 4x 1,25m engine mount (no LFO) and S2W wide body fuselage adapter LFO. fg

Anyone have any ideas?

edit: I tested it with NEAR and it works great. No problem with off-center CoL.

More testing

I have had that a few times. Never quite figured out what caused it.

I've always been able to work around it by switching sides for symmetry: If I get the CoL offset while adding symmetric wings from the left side, I switch to the right side and re-place the wings.

I think this is an old(ish) bug. Did you test-fly the plane? From what I remember it was the CoL indicator that gets misplaced while the real Col is positioned correctly.

I have tried to fly. CoL is realy shifted. The plane starts to roll and side-slip. The SAS is compensating but if I turn off SAS it goes crazy.

Not good. Can you try the following?

• Start KSP
  
• Load the plane in the editor
  
• Launch and fly it briefly
  
• Quit KSP
  
• Locate your output_log.txt/player.log (see this post) and upload it to pastebin or a similar site?
  

That would help at least see if there's a conflict or FAR bug causing the problem.

It's caused by the colliders on the fuselage parts. Nothing I can do to fix it.

Here is the output_log:

I would like to know if I am the only one with this problem?? What ever I do, I can not get rid of this (I reeatached the wing 100 times).

ferram4: some noob questions.

colliders - is this a colision mesh? 2 fuselage wide body 4x 1,25m engine mount LFO and S2 fuselage wide body 4x 1,25m engine mount looks exactly the same (one has fuel). Moddels looks the same, are colision meshes diferrent?? Is this a error bilding models?

Should I try to find a fix (or convince some one to make a fix) on B9 forum?

thanks for the help

I don't know the answers to any of those, I'm a not a modeller. However, FAR uses collision meshes to determine what's going on with a wing part, so if the CoL is wrong, it's probably due to collider errors on the part they're being attached to.
