Hi,

I really enjoy the XR fleet vessels and I really hope that EVA functionalities will be enabled in a near feature (Does someone have some recent news since last december about oMMU project ?).

Currently, I use Orbiter Beta R90 since it is recommanded for using NASSP 8. But after loading an XR fleet scenario like "Ready to take off for ISS", I get an odd behaviour of the vessel. Instead of appearing flat on the runway or on the launchpad, it is partly lying down in the mesh terrain.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QDoEMsyLrKpG2L8TyjzDxzH1ZQAz7nSH
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rbWwoMpiCHpvRuKuQLTKv1F05X9bkwXQ

And this behaviour has been found every time I try to load a scenario with XR1,XR2 or XR5 landed on a surface (runways and launchpad on celestial bodies). However, every other spacecrafts or rockets supposed to work on Orbiter 2016 run well. I have tried several third parties rockets from addons like CSG Kourou or Pad24_UR500 from Pappy's Hangar and I don't see any major aberation, except for the MultistageMFD which generates CTD)

Of course, these 3 XR vessels seem to fly without problem. I have loaded another scenario while docking at ISS and I have not found any aberation (the docking functions and MFDs work properly).

Moreover, this bug is only related with vessels that already exist in the scenerio while loading it. If I try to add another XR spacecraft on another launchpad with the Scenario Editor, it is well positionned on the surface, until I close the simulation. If you load the scene again (the last current state or the same scenario), the bug appears again and you have to reset the position of the XR vessels with scenario editor. It is a small pain to do that for every XR spacecraft (expecially if you have several ones) after every loading of the scene.

Below, it is the log from orbiter Beta after loading the scenario "Ready to take off for ISS" with XR1 :

I will add another thing : the bug appears on both graphic versions of Orbiter Beta, so the D3D9 client is not the source of the problem. I would like to point out the obsolete api version. Do you think that it could be related that I try to describe above ? But I don't think so...

Warmest regards,
Etienne

I think that the bug is more related to XR fleet addons than Orbiter Beta. I ask administrators to change the location of this topic if I am not wrong.

Kind regards.

True. This issue has to be posted in the XR Fleet add-ons thread. But I am not an admin, so I can't shift this thread.

I have also noticed this bug. It happens when the status of the XR Vessel goes to landed (at rest), from being dynamic when the vessel status is being actively updated when in motion.

When the vessel state is dynamic, there is no bug. All features work as expected. When it returns to the landed at rest static status, the vessel is jutting out from the terrain at an angle. This behaviour happens only in the latest orbiter beta, not in 2016 release.

For example, I can land and then roll out and taxi in the runway just fine. When the vessel rolls to a stop, it returns to the static state when the parking brake gets engaged, and the issue occurs.

Thanks for confirming the bug. I have sent a message to dbeachy1 who is both an administrator and one of this mod developers.

Any updates?
Is this bug solved? Or do we have at least any more permanent workaround?

This is due to different behavior between Orbiter 2016 (for which the XR vessels were built) and the Orbiter beta. See this post for an easy workaround.

tl;dr: set this in your XR vessel's .cfg file:

Code:
EnableParkingBrakes = 0
