Bug #5198
TR-38-D does not correctly decouple with struts involved
100%
Description
It appears this decoupler has issues with struts.
In both attached vessels, the strut prevents takeoff. Removing the strut in both cases allows them to fly.
I have a youtube video of the first buggy craft here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNqODGI8kTc
I'm currently using the completely stock linux 64bit 1.0.4 version, but I also had someone running win32 confirm this as well.
The requirements for this bug are very specific and all must be satisfied.
- The part MUST contain both PhysicsSignificance = 1 AND ModuleDecouple - The TR 38D is the only stock example.
- A part with CModuleStrut must be linked between a lower part and the decoupler directly. - The Strut Connector is the only stock example.
- A part which is less than 25cm in height is below the decoupler.
- A part with CModuleStrut must be linked between the >25cm part and any other lower part.
- Cubic Octagonal strut.
- Octagonal Strut.
- Mk2 Drone Core.
- RC 001s Remote Guidance unit.
- Small Inline Reaction Wheel.
- TR 18A Stack Decoupler.
- TR 2C Stack Separator.
- TR 2V stack Decoupler.
- Heatshilds.
- Batteries.
- M 1x1 Structural Panel.
- M 2x2 Structural Panel.

Thanks for reporting this. It seems this decoupler has been overlooked during an edit.
The TR-38-D is the only decoupler that has the PhysicsSignificance flag set. Removal of this line from the configuration file fixes the sticky strut problem.
Passed on to the Devs for attention.
