Bug #6338
Quickload puts open parachutes to "default" orientation instead along the direction of fall; ship freefalls for some time after quickload
0%


Description
Reproduction steps:
- Start a sandbox game
- Load attached testing ship and launch it from launchpad
- Deploy parachutes during fall
- Make a quicksave about 10 m above ground
- Quickload
Expected behavior: game loads the state as it was at the moment of the quicksave, the ship continues its fall on parachutes and safely lands
Observed behavior: game loads the state, parachutes are deployed sideways, ship freefalls towards the ground and explodes
There are plenty of valid reasons to mount parachutes in any orientation on a ship. Also in many cases the orientation of the ship during landing differs from the intended orientation due to poor design.
The freefall may not be due to parachutes being sideways but because physics are not yet fully running. Even that is wrong and should be fixed. Quickload should mean return to exactly the same state in which the game was quicksaved.
