I drop my rover on the ground but I can't move it when I get into it


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I have an annoying problem that I can't solve. First of all i'm using a few well known mods : Kethane, KAS, KW Rocketry, B9 Aerospace, SelectRoot, SCANsat and Catterpillar Tracks. My problem is that I have just build a glider that holds a rover that is upside down under its belly. When I eject my rover, a parachute open on the nose of it to slow its fall, and I put landing pads on its back so when it touches the ground, it always falls on its catterpillar tracks and is ready to use. BUT, when i get into the rover, everything works except the catterpillar tracks...

I noticed that when I save the rover only and launches it without the glider, it works perfectly. I checked all the available options for the tracks, there's nothing useful. I tried to select different parts as the root part, but it doesn't change anything. And I use stock separators between the glider and the rover. In the past I've already succeeded in building a droppable rover, and it worked very well. I don't understand where the issue is in this case.

Can someone help me please ? I really need it to work !

Here are screenshots of my creation :

Well... It seems the problem has been solved by itself... I really don't understand : I had this bug for two days and tried everything, and finally, when I took the last screen of the previous post, I realized that it just works. :| Maybe it needed a game restart, I don't know... Now let's attach these exploration vehicles to my interplanetary ship ! :]

Sorry for that unnecessary first post ! ^^' And long live KSP ! :D

OK, actually I found the reason of the "bug", that was simple as hell. In fact, it was because my gears were raised at the moment when I drop the rover, and the Caterpillar tracks need to have lowered gears to works, even if you don't have gears on the vehicle !
