Description

Cargo containers shield draggy cargo when the craft is initially launched. However, when reverting the flight to the launch site, closed containers behave as if they were open. The only workaround is to revert the flight to the SPH.

History

#1 Updated by Anonymous almost 4 years ago

For me, this problem happens only when the cargo bay is the root part (the part that, if you pick it up in the VAB, all other parts follow).

That is, this might be bug #13366, and if it is at least there is a way to avoid the bug (although it can be hard to remember to always make a different part the root).

#2 Updated by Jens_Lyn_IV almost 4 years ago

That's a much better workaround, although it sacrifices the convenience of autostrut to root.

Confirmed duplicate of #13366.
