Never fixed this huh? Disappointing

I did some testing with the doors and from what I can tell if you close the doors and then back the limit up 1 or 2 degrees, she still flies like a dream. Seems to me the subgrids are causing a bit of phantom force.

I hope that helps and keeps you from doing a complete re-design of the doors.

Great ship, I'm going to try building her from a projector in the near future.

Hello Flankspeed, thank you for your comment. your right with the new update the doors have been broken. im working on a fix until then your solution is the best step forward. Removing the doors will fix it for now

Nvm, I figured it out. I spawned it with creative tools in survival. It was something to do with the passenger doors. They came attached, and it flew like garbage. I removed them with the grinder and it flies fine now.

Did an update break this? I spawned it in on survival and it's basically unflyable in atmo. The nose keeps wanting to come up and it rolls slightly left and right constantly. I'm a new player so I'm not sure if I'm missing something. Thanks.
