Glitches and Exploits

I discovered that if you make the make the engine be on at launch, it can run without any fuel. Lol.

Those grey moments were when I had to switch off screen and forgot to stop recording
Edit: maybe now?

The fairing is there because otherwise the rocket suffered from aerodynamic instability. Flipped every time I tried to begin gravity turn. But basically this is infinite fuel, but without anything that would show you use it.

Link works now. I think you just invented flying saucers.

Anyone else have an issue where crafts adjacent to the launch pad will randomly disappear?

Yes, I've had it once. The craft that disappeared was even on the launchpad. I intentionally placed a rocket to my recent 1kton lifter to compare their size. But when I flew it, the launcher that remained on the launchpad disappeared.

Same here. I had three crafts on the launchpad, spaced widely apart.
Launched the middle one, and then after getting above the karman lane I looked back; the craft on the right side of the launchpad had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the one on the left side. Pretty cool trick, since it weighed 4,000 tonnes.


And now for a new glitch.... I feel down and broke the large "aerodynamic fuselages" that were connecting the landing gear to the rocket. But the landing gear are still somehow attached to my rocket.

Lol, good idea! Flying saucer it is. I still have to figure out how to perform a hoverslam with it. And it's so draggy.

Could you show a picture of the blueprint? I’m curious as to how this is working.

 

[Marmilo]

The trick is to turn ions on in the bp, that's it

 

[Marmilo]

Finally I did it!
Edit: I think I'm a bit off-topic

Yes, I have had several objects up to around 500m or so from the launch pad disappear.

Small but annoying...

Here is a small little visual glitch where the RCS thrust plumes do not render through an RCS block. It seems to only be RCS plumes that do not render though, as regular engine plumes still look fine. View attachment 39687

The hitbox is a square
Of a landing leg the hitbox is too a square

I found a strange bug where when you transfer fuel between tanks while sitting on the launchpad your rocket will either start to float up or sink down depending on what direction the fuel is flowing.

Same. It can go sideways too, if that's the direction you're transferring fuel in.
Worst case: You tansfer so much fuel downwards that your rocket is floating high in the air, and then all hell breaks loose when it falls. Only happens if you timewarp to transfer fuel faster?
Seems that what's going on is the position of the rocket depends on the centre of mass, and when you transfer fuel, the centre of mass moves, and the game changes the physical location of the rocket to match it.

Fuel tanks sometimes seeme to "unweld" and form separate composite tanks...

Also happened to me when I released payload. And like yours, the tanks that separated were very clearly connected in such a way that would work in 1.4.

Yesterday, I launched a rocket and dropped some fairings, and later I realized the fairings had stopped maybe 2km above the surface of the earth and weren't moving. When I switched to one of them, it would continue moving and crash into the ground, but the other stayed stationary until I switched to it.

Most likely just passed out of physics range and decided to stop moving. I have seen it a few times.

Solved for my particular rocket...
I found the seam where the tanks decided to unweld themselves, and got rid of it, aka replacing two tank parts with one tank.
I have no idea why that seam was causing problems, but getting rid of it fixed it.
I was lucky that my rocket configuration allowed me to do that, I realise that replacing two tank parts with one tank part will not be possible with every rocket that has this problem.

A similar problem to the tanks issue here, but fairings can unweld too. On my space station I had some modules made out of fairings (locked shut of course). Not sure why, but they would still open sometimes.

One of my fairing habs blew up and there’s an odd remaining part like it turned sideways, it’s welded like that now

Found the other half looks the same, both ends were(n’t) welded with a 6x port cap and a probe inside

The base slice is reversed between them now that I look closer

 

[Roger Jolly]

...I set my hab launch up to test redesigns on the pad and neither would blow up, then I went back to the moon and tried the other hab on the station and that wouldn’t blow up either though all 3 made the ka-schunk noise

"Shuttle, this is Houston. Can you comfrm SRB Separation?"
"Houston, I, ehhh... I think we have a small problem here...":

I don't know why this happens... That booster is secured. Is not even supposed to detach...

Got that with Sabre BX as well. If you pop them before liftoff that should avoid this.

Well, I got the blue screen of death today. I was getting a bit worried as closing and reopening the app didn’t fix it, but I eventually got it working again thankfully.

New bug: These docking ports aren't docking

And Its happening since yesterday's update...
