The yawing oscillation may be due to the edges of the wings being folded downwards instead of upwards. If you imagine lift vectors you can see that rolling to a one side makes such a wing produce even more lift to the side of roll, instead of back to the stable orientation.

I'm pretty sure the "cape" effect is less because you initially placed the wings forward and more because you built your wings beginning with the frontmost piece. The issue is _which wing-piece_ is connected to the fuselage, at least as much as where _on_ the fuselage it's connected. Notice how when you shifted them, you were attaching from the central rectangular section.

The yawning oscillation actually kinda makes sense for an airbrake, it helps create more drag while staying generally in the same nominal direction

The fishtailing behavior is being caused by the angled "brakes" on the outer quarter of the wings. Basically if there's anything but perfect airflow 1 catches the air better and pulls you left driving the right hand one into the airstream more which then pulls you back right. A much more effective approach for using the low tech control surfaces like these is to instead make "duckarons" (is what we call them in the RC aircraft community). In KSP it'd be the 2 controls are overlapped on eachother, 1 moves up while braking, the other moves down. But it keeps the airflow perfectly balanced.

@smooneychad4 ай бұрын
With the exception of much faster load times and better physics timewarp, there’s almost nothing else KSP2 does that can’t be replicated with mods in KSP1. I really loved the idea of ksp2 being an out-of-the box deal but as my missions got more complicated I found I had to keep manually fixing the game and running into game breaking glitches, and that just outweighed the hassle of setting up a ksp mod pack for me. It’s extremely sad seeing that ksp2 is probably abandoned now, as most of the problems it had would have been fixed down the line and I genuinely really enjoyed the uniformity of the game’s “story” and art style compared to ksp1. But right now you just can’t beat modded ksp1 for sheer freedom to do whatever and play however you want.
@AssidiousBlue-ul2fo4 ай бұрын
Sadly in KSP2 there are/were some truly hobbling bugs, that a simple “stack to the Mun” player might not encounter but made anything outside Kerbin’s SOI futile. Two off the top of my head; 1) physics breaking / recalculating every 1km on land (including the runway) making rovers and planes impossible 2) Immense lag once more than one craft (such as relay satellites, bases etc) making a fresh save mandatory for every mission Have a look at Shadowzone’s video for some clues as to why these “solved” issues might have become unsolved.
