Description

Walking into an LT-05 micro landing strut (at any speed) with an EVA Kerbal causes it to jump suddenly, (occasionally the foot will move from ground contact to atop the kerbals head in what appears to be a single frame, othertimes it just bounces violently), causing the gear to be insta-destroyed from "overstress". On a low gravity body this will send the craft and the kerbal flying apart at considerable velocity.

Repro: walk into an LT-05 with a kerbal. Tested on pad and Minmus surface. The attached craft is similar to the vessel I first encountered this with, and reproduces this reliably for me, though a pod with some legs works just as well.

If this is a dupe, sorry. There are so many landing-leg / wheel related reports here I can't find anything.

History

#1 Updated by steve_v almost 8 years ago

Update: checking the other legs, they all produce the same unexpected violent forces if a kerbal contacts the foot. The larger legs don't explode, presumably due to higher stress tolerance.

I have encountered this as well... with hilarious results. Certainly a bug: though I suppose exploding landing gear does sound like a very "Kerbal" thing.

#3 Updated by electron2059 almost 8 years ago

I have also had this bug using the windows version. Think I first noticed it in the release 1.1 and also in 1.1.1. and 1.1.2

#4 Updated by Apollo13 almost 8 years ago

I have reported this problem as well, including the pre-release.

#5 Updated by krimsalt almost 8 years ago

I have had this issue with the LT-1.. simply walking in any proximity to them causes them to explode

#6 Updated by tater almost 8 years ago

This happens on Mac as well, with ALL the landing legs.

Closing as this was fixed in 1.2.0
