Description

This has now happened to 3 modules I've built. 2 Rovers and my Mun Base. This also occurred on Kerbin and the Mun.

These modules will lift off the surface and slowly drift away into space. Parts are also falling of these built modules.

What mods are you using, and did you forget to unhack gravity?

#2 Updated by monaro2500 almost 8 years ago

I cant remember from the top of my head now what Mods I have installed. Generally not too many, and all of them have been updated to 1.1 via CKAN. I haven't tinkered and adjusted anything to do with gravity. What is strange too is that if you look in the background in one of the images, you'll notice my refinery sitting correctly on the surface. This also occurs randomly.

I can generate a list of my Mods and post them later. But most of them are only gaming aids such as Docking Assist, MechJeb, Kerbal Engineer, etc and some visual effect like PlanetShine and EVE. All of my modules are built from Stock components. I do have Karbonite installed, but it's never been used.

I believe I've found this bug. It's related to the 'Hullcam VDS' Mod. The problem was that the Root docking port would decouple from the vehicle. This would cause the vehicle to drift away without any control.

The 'Hullcam VDS' associates itself with the Docking ports by putting cameras within them. This association can be found in the 'DockingPortCameraPatch.cfg' within the mod.

I've removed this file from the mod and the modules are no longer floating away.
