[04:28:11] Is this just a matter of being too tailheavy? [04:30:14] senray, spawning that way, or immediately tilting back? It should spawn however it was in the SPH. [04:30:25] But check CoM vs your rear wheels. [04:30:58] ^ [04:32:02] immediately tilting back [04:32:26] CoM must be equal to or forward of rear wheels? [04:32:27] Then yeah, your wheels and/or CoM are positioned wrong [04:32:34] slightly forward of [04:32:54] You want it to sit flat on the runway, but still be able to pitch up to take off [04:34:02] Ok. [04:34:06] Yeah, if you had a table with CoM outside of the legs, it would fall over. >_> [04:34:17] Am I mistaken in thinking that real aircraft can have a fairly aft CG? [04:34:56] Depends, but somewhat. [04:35:33] but it's always forward of the most rear wheels? [04:35:43] Yes [04:35:50] huh [04:35:55] Learned something new! [04:36:15] it should have been obvious to me, but now I know [04:36:18] If they have a relatively far forward CoM, then the rear wheels may be close to the middle of the aircraft. [04:37:36] huh [04:37:56] and now back to the usual stage of figuring why it yaws all over the runway lol [04:44:59] pretty easy this time lol [05:16:03] senray: if you look at planes it's pretty easy to figure out where the CG is by looking at where the main gear is and where the wings are [05:16:09] except for tail draggers [08:24:44] https://youtu.be/4Uk1NNcUEgs [08:24:44] YouTube - 1.3 tons to Minmus and back - The Odyssey by Bill; Book 33 - KSP [08:32:03] "Fortunately, kerbals are entirely immune to loneliness."

This is an actual picture, not& https://t.co/YIl2NlwTHZ [14:33:27] The altitude hold seemed to be for manual intervention. [14:33:50] I don't think that you can have any intervention there. [14:34:05] It's more likely it stops there and then the landing routine comes online [14:34:10] a change of state in the program [14:34:24] which seems pretty Russian, if you ask me... [14:35:09] but maybe necessary to see the motion over ground and get a good measurment of the distance to it [14:35:44] all in all you have to rely on camera images for the movement...
