Jebman82 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Fantastic mod @BahamutoD, hope you get some free time to update this for 1.1 when its stable, space planes just aren't the same without it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StahnAileron Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 On 3/29/2016 at 2:27 AM, MrKibe said: Hello, I'm having some trouble where one of the landing gears's suspension on my craft keeps dying and the left side of my plane just tips over, so near to the ground that I can't even lift off like that. It's not the weight because it's always one side only, and I've installed the mod via CKAN. I tried it with the large and medium landing gears, and it persisted with both of them. Any idea on what the issue is here? Posting a craft file of the vessel it's happening on would go a long way to helping others help you. (If it's a vessel with mod part, name the mods the parts come from). Have you tried adjusting the suspension? Also, any time this has happened to me has always been a mass problem: vessel too heavy. I once made a spaceplane (using OPT parts) that required 4 of the large gears to bear all the weight so I could take-off. Without know the state of your game (mods) and vessel (design), I can't really comment much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG5BPilot Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 First of all, I'd like to offer a huge "Thank you!" and tell you how much I really appreciate this mod. The landing gear are really, really nice, and a vast improvement over stock. They don't just look good -- the flexibility they provide truly helps. I do have a question for you -- and I'm loathe to say it because of all the flack people have been getting on the forums. Superficially, the question is "Are you working on an update for 1.1?", but I'm not asking because I want to know when the mod will be updated. The reason I'm asking is that it's very clear from Squad's progress updates over the last six months that wheels in KSP 1.1 changed dramatically and required a lot of reworking on their part. Certainly, wheels (especially friction) in the stock 1.1 landing gear parts behave differently than before. More realistically, in my opinion. The new stock landing gear seem to behave more like real airplane tires, instead of the NASCAR racing slick behavior they used to exhibit. The question is, if you're working on an update, what challenges does the new system create for updating a wheel-centric mod? This is purely out of curiosity on my part; as both a programmer and a pilot it's got me wondering how complicated it will be making these wheels work under the new system.

linuxgurugamer Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'm going to guess that since wheels are still a WIP (work in progress), that this won't be updated until after 1.1 is finally released. At that point, I would think a couple of weeks, depending on how much time the author has to work on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will get changed when it gets changed. After everything Squad said about the changes to wheels in this release, I'm curious about the details of what needs to actually change.

BahamutoD Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Adjustable Landing Gear relied on code modified from Firespitter which used the old wheel colliders. I'll probably have to rewrite parts of it to use the new wheel modules. I'll probably also have to work on the models in Unity. According to the dev notes, they're still making changes to the Unity setup of wheels, so I'll have to wait and see where they end up first.

Van Disaster Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Stuffing something in the suggestions box given incoming rework ( well a few of things ), I'm pretty sure at least some have come up before but I can't remember what. * Scalable wheel seperate to the whole thing ( this sounds rather awkward ) * Cylindrical door option for mounting on/in circular sections. * Sideways-folding slimline version for wing mounts. * Perhaps one with no enclosure box for use stuck to large fuselages, but that might be quite awkward to work with in the editor. * Shorter leg version Thanks for all the work, as ever.

There's probably a reason why this doesn't already exist, buried somewhere in the last 29 pages, so I apologize if this has been asked before. Is it possible to add integrated landing lights?

drtedastro Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 stay with 1.0.5 and don't bug the modders. It will get updated, when and if they have the time and want to. Not based on your schedule. @BahamutoD. Good luck with all of your conversions and updates, and thanks for all of your great work. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtualgenius Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) @Fireheart318 when a new release is out it takes modders around 2 weeks to update a mod, so rule of thumb is play on your old install for two weeks. The pre-release has helped a lot mods get on track but the 1.1 change is fairly complex so it may take a little longer due to the complexity of 1.1. As stated by BahamutoD it relied on some firespitter code the more complex the mod the longer the wait this mod is very popular so I have no doubt it will be updated patience is the key.

the_machemer Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I do hope there will be a 6 wheel landing gear like the new stock one, I would finally be able to make a B777 and A380! Thanks for the brilliant mod, I await the update with bated breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueNightfury00786 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sadly my planes are broke as well; and I tried to fix them with reinstalling a mod to test if it'd work. Knowing myself that It'd not work but I do it anyways. Crafts break themselves somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load your craft in KSP 1.0.5., remove landing gears and save craft files to be able load them in KSP 1.1.x There you can try to revise them with stock wheels. I know, it still not adjustable landing gear, but give mod developer a time to recompile it for KSP1..1. Considering that even stock wheels still have issues, we all should be patient about it. Repeated request that players want this mod in 1.1. will not going to make things faster, only becoming more annoying with each post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam won't Fudging let me... sorry for the language, I just am mad that I keep on losing planes and Land vehicles etc due to updates.. and the fact I don't keep copys of them as I forget.

There isn't much you can do unless you kept a copy of 1.05 somewhere. One thing you could try is to edit the .craft files directly and remove the child nodes for the landing gear. As it is unlikely you have any parts attached to the gear itself, it shouldn't be too tricky (make a backup of your .craft file first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a good idea to not mod your steam install for this reason. Copy the KSP folder out of Steam and mod it there (it will work fine). KSP updates will happen and they will break mods. No way around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luizopiloto Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 You can install this mod on 1.1... Craft will load as normal in the editor, there you can replace the modded gears by stock ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
