Description

I have been building planes in KSP 1.0 (sandbox mode) using the MK3 parts and new aircraft parts.

I built an aircraft using the large landing gear which flew without any problems. However, when I landed it, switched back to the space centre and then came back, the wheels were inside the ground. If I retract the landing gear, they clip back out of the ground and cause the aircraft to break up, even when using unbreakable joints in the debug menu.

I have no mods installed, I'm running KSP 1.0 on Windows and installed it through Steam.

This bug is making my game frustrating, as whenever I switch to my landed aircraft and try to move them, they break up.

Can anyone help?

Here are some pictures from one of the times this happened. When it reloads the physics on one of the planes, the wheels become stuck inside the ground.

It looks like a terrain issue at the island airstrip.

Hi there. This problem happens everywhere, not just on the island airstrip.

I have gone back and replicated the problem in other locations. Every time I switch to this aircraft, the wheels appear inside the ground.

Here are some screenshots, including the result of retracting the landing gear.

(This doesn't happen with medium or small landing gear)

Thanks for your time. I hope this can be resolved.
