problem with entering launch mode, the rocket shakes all over

[nashiem]

so Ive been trying to play 1.3 but there are some strange things going on with the rocket especially the fairing. as soon as I am on the launch pad, the rocket starts shaking and pieces get stuck in the fairing and sometimes the fairing falls off completely. 1.2.2 this did not occur. Many new bugs are hapoening now.

Sounds like you need more struts.
The kraken has a habit of shaking rockets until they literally explode and struts help stop it from happening.

I remember having the problem myself even during Early Release and I notice it was mostly with the payload or to many coupling wasn't well secured or sample enough to keep together. Sometimes mostly like due to game limitations or something like that my payload would sometimes glitch through the Fairing most like because it was top heavy or something. Tried building small satellites to see how they handle before trying something bigger like a sections of a spacestation.

The Kraken knows no limits

this is an issue that is only hapening with version 2.3 it doesnt make sense either, when you launch a rocket or plane it should not bounce around on the pad, it should sit still. This normally occured in versions prior if you reverted to take off. the rocket would bounce around. this makes no sense. upon take off these things shoulkd sit stationary, not as if they were dropped from 5 feet high.

the main issue is when launching the rocket should be completely still. no matter what there should be 0 movement. it happens with anything you put on the pad the first second it moves around.

i could put just a capsule and solid booster, it still moves as if it were being dropped into place. this is a problem for a long time now, 2.3 just made it worse.

to be honest its a lot of work Id have to update to 1.3 then install the mods for 1.3. then revert back to 1.2 reinstall the mods for 1.2 and put the original save back in. my point is that unless you have a rediculas top heavy rocket that would tip over befor you launch the rocket, it should not move at all when you leave the VAB. actually flying the rocket is not the issue, it is after you leave the VAB to the launch pad. out of nowhere all the ships on the launch pad bounce or move around right before you can actually launch the rocket. My point is that they should be completly stationary especially with the stability enhancers in place.

Do you have phsyics easing on load enabled?

I've been having a problem with auto struts lately, I thought it was just me. My rockets do this on the launch pad too unless I use regular struts.

I've noticed the same thing, but it seems random, some crafts will have an issue, some won't.

It's in game options.

It does exactly what it says, it eases the physics when the craft first loads.

ok after some testing the problem is with the fairing. Not only does the fairing in 1.3 cause excessive shake when leaving the VAB, but it also causes the rocket to not hold sas. When I remove the fairing the rocket flies just fine, in 1.2 the fairing helped keep the rocket stable on sas, but in 1.3 the fairing is causing issues with sas and shake on the launch pad. After removing the fairing everything is fine. The funny part is all I did was delete the fairing, the fairing modual is stil on the rocket and evrything works fine. Building the fairing is the main problem.

Then you built it wrong. Fairings are working just fine for me in 1.3.

I can provide pictures, but it worked fine in 1.2.2, now it doesnt so im not sure what the problem is.
