Mode: Creative Mode: Singleplayer Reproducibility: Always Severity: Minor SV landing gear seem to deploy at odd times like: When an SV approaches (within 3 large blocks) perpendicular to hanger doors. Tested with both CV and BA hangers doors. When an SV (bounding box?) approaches non full large blocks from a side that does NOT have landing gear attached. If a player exits the cockpit of a SV with retracted landing gear, the landing gear will extend when the cockpit is re-entered and will not retract until the SV docks then undocks. This ones REALLY BAD because you cant fix it by simply flying away! This can be a major problem if you tie ship system to the output signal from landing gear such as thrusters (in some circumstances this prevents thrusters form turning on) in a SV designed strictly for VTL. Tested with a bare bones SV that uses a signal from the landing gear to turn on a light in front of the cockpit and flew it around the hangers a BA and a CV. Save file is attached.
Actually, the CV does this as well. I was returning from the Distillery and noticed the landing gear was down! In Space! Would be great if you could "power" this with a switch on the control panel, like lowering the gear of an aircraft before landing.
