a simple gear request

[MavisLenya]

hello modders!

i just wanted to know that is it possible to make an all tweakable landing gear.

what i meant by that is:

I want my gears on the wings but length of it my desire or have it open from sideways but the gears straight ?

is it possible to make one and if it is please can you make it?

Can you be more clear and specific?

RetroFuture has such landing gears, just not tweakable. You could use tweakscale though.

download RF in an hr or two. new version has TweakScale free mode for landing gears

Wow, I must be a clairvoyant...

Don't be surprised if such things become stock in .90. Porkjet was talking about working on landing gear before .25 released.

to be specific i want my own landing gear not one that has been made beforehand

i want to be able to put a gear into the wings but have it the same length of the one below the tail

Squad would have to fix the mirroring for side deploy gears to work correctly. For now you can only have gears that deploy directly to the side (front/back in reality), then when it's mounted sideways, it appears to deploy to left/right. parts aren't mirrored left/right, if you look closer at the inline main gear in RF, you can see the wheel brackets are both on the left side of the wheel, instead of opposite sides like they should be.

See the discussion following http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/80796-0-24-Spaceplane-Plus-1-3?p=1392939&viewfull=1#post1392939 for what PJ might possibly be working on, BTW.

great suggestions, but a lot has to change under the hood in KSP for those to work properly. Maybe Porkjet can push the developers to implement those changes. as KSP currently is, proper side deploying gears; gears that retract fully into the fuselage (without a fuselage section specifically built to house the gears) won't work.

The closest you can get to that right now is either make your own landing gear part to match the tail gear. or use TweakScale to adjust the gear sizes to match the height. There's nothing that allows independent XYZ directions for landing gears that I know of. Closest to that is BahamutoD's adjustable missle rail; but that's a set of preset lengths you cycle through, not scaling.
