So this happened upon loading this particular craft. Everything was fine when saving this flight and exiting. But upon reloading the craft, it suddendly begins tumbeling, parts flying off, some kinda "heat damage" that results in parts of the "Compact Rover" exploding.
The behavior does cease when you pause after relaoding and go to time warp. then upon resumption of normal time the craft appears to be fine.
Correction: Time warping only alleviates the issue temporarily. Eventually the craft begins uncontrolled spinning once again (even w/ engine pods fully extended out) until parts start breaking off and rover suspension begins taking damage and being destroyed.
You guys had a great game here, but the number of glitches and/or bugs I'm encountering w/ career games is beginning to make this almost unplayable now.
Ok so the issue seems to be the "Engine Pods" that jut out near the top of the craft. Once they disconnect (or are extended out away from the other fuselage part) the uncontrolled spinning begins to settle down and stop. So was prolly a collision issue.
Problem is: I already flew a nearly identical vehicle on a separate flight, and this issue never popped up! Why suddenly NOW?
