been using this a while, loving it! long time thanks Takeshi

Thank you. I hope they add more moving stuff to SE2.

Love the mod, its a must have on all my saves.
Is there anyway to add retractable landing skids to this mod? If not thats fine, it would just be cool for landing on ice planets and frozen lakes.

@Takeshi
Your mods are great and I thank you!

@Delta6NKVD, sorry no.
A sincere thank you is reward enough for me.

Hi @Takeshi do you do commissions and accept payment via Patreon?

Mr. Takeshi, I hope you're doing well. Please, bring more models and polish what you already created. This is an amazing mod. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Great work finally can make my little flyers with clean looking lines

The feet on the 3x3x1 Large are comically small lol

single handedly the best retractable landing gear on here, been using since 2018

Tested and it works here too now.
Thank you for fixing the problem! :)

or maybe it is a short fix.
Biggest Problem was to get VisualStudio up and running again ;-)
After all updates only one error stay in the list of erros, was a problem with "UpdateEmissiveParts" (Thx Centroline), it is no longer available. Changed that to "UpdateNamedEmissiveParts", and after getting Blender to work and find out the names of my Emissive materials, it was easy ;-)

In my test it was working again, uploaded a few moments ago. Have fun.

I will take a look into it. Maybe it needs a while.

Unfortunately, after the Factorum update, the bottom plate of the landing gear is now missing for me.

for me the mod does not work atleast the animation doesnt. When the game starts i have compile errors and i could send over a log file where it states the following: ( i cut it down a bit )

C:\Users\BLANK\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\1114854185.sbm_landing gear animation failed:
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\1114854185\Data\Scripts\landing gear animation\Anima.cs(924,32): Error: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'MyCubeBlock.UpdateEmissiveParts(uint, float, Color, Color)'

Hi Primo, thank you for the feedback.
Doors and Ramps have this moving hitboxes atready in the game and you need "only" create new models and define some stuff to use them in the game as mod. Landing Gears dont have moving hitboxes in the game so I can only define a fix hitbox.
I know it would be great, but with my experience it is not possible. Maybe in the next Space Engineers ;-)

@Takeshi Hi there! I really love the designs. There are mods that have moving hitboxes for doors and ramps and stuff like that. So may I kindly ask why this isn't possible for this great mod?

Takeshi so this is a know thing that there a hitboxes now okay

Extremely flimsy. Will break when attempt to land.

Hi Maoman, all other does read the Mod-Description and understand, that there is currently no solution for moving hitboxes within the current game engine. And they are happy because of the nice look and moving part, or so.
Have a nice day.

Collision box does not change when retracted. It visually retracts which is neat and all but things will still collide with the now empty area where the landing leg was, making this mod effectively useless. Why is there so much praise in the comments? Has no one noticed this?

Landing gear are cool but this one is better

I use this mod on all my ships from the time I found it, Thank you.

Friggin Sick!!!!!! Thank you. Well done!!!!

I would not stop using untill it fails. and even then why not just fix my self. *done this only once and Other fix came out week later, was only ever for personal use LAN- :) yay

kinda sad it got overshadowed by a newer Retractable LDG mod in the community spotlight.

Love These Thanks!

Thumbs up, great little Mod.
No more Piston Landing Gears

i use these often, great work

Hey bud, I know at some point this was broken for offline mode and just discovered that it's been fixed. So whenever it happened, thanks.

There should be more landing gear like this that get around the 'piston sub-grid' issue.

Hi Lt.Fenix, I will keep the mod alive but will not add new stuff.
Because the fix collision box I did not create bigger landing gears.
Sorry.

Hi, I've been using this mod forever and it's awesome. However, I was wondering if you'd be willing to add a variant of the large grid landing gears that are modified to fit small grids, with the same stats, size, etc. In other words, the large grid 1x1x2 would be the exact same model with animations but would be a 5x5x10 small grid.

Sounds like a bug report? Maybe I understand it wrong.
The LG is going into other blocks? That should not happen, the collission box is basicly "normal" for a LandingGear. The collision box is fix and because that the LG should not go into other blocks. Can you try to explan the problem and the "wrong" beahvior with other words? Thank you.

These are going through Grids (at least large). Almost impossible to get ships to land squarely before locking. I have Artificial Mass blocks on, so my grids can be fully on something (trying with them on and off).

Please fix (if possible), thanks!

no chance, because people punish me because the collision box is fix. Bigger landing Gears have bigger collision boxes and they dont retract with the animation.
And, its long time ago and it was a big challenge to get the animation up and running, I will not do that again.

ok any chance you could add bigger ones and for the retractable one a variant that has a longer retractable landing gear, for larger ships these smaller ones look odd

no, is just an animation --> no real movement,
please read knwon issues.

can you make a version that when locked it does move that way ships can auto lower or as im trying to do make a small ship be stored higher and then be put down when needed
also paint doesnt seem to apply yo the foot of the retractable one

Working perfect for my ship!

It's fine, still one of the best mods I use. Thanks! :)

Thank you,
at the moment I try to keep my SE mods up and running without adding new stuff. But I know what you mean, but the alignement of the parts was hard and the animation system was tricky so I had to re-learn how it works to do something new. Sorry.

I think it's clear, but just to make it more clear to some people I think this would make a good edit:
" - Turn the block OFF and they retract (if locked on, it stays extended) "
or something similar.

Also a question, I love this mod but I really miss a chonkier/thiccccer version of the folding one, like the built-in landing gear but retractable. Is there a possibility that you could add one like that to the pack?

Why I'm asking is, I like to build big chonky stuff like Type 10 Heavy from Elite Dangerous and it looks silly with the thin folding landing gear. It looks fine with the build in one, but it's not retracting so.. hehe

Is that part of the description misleading?How to explain it right?
"- Turn the block OFF and they retract (not if locked)"

if its still locked it wont do anything till you unlock

nothing

what would happen if someone tried to retart the landing gear while still parked?

So glad this mod is still being updated. I loved this mod a couple of years when I first started SE.

@Darth Kermit, you need to read the description. As you're able to write to complain, you should be able to read to learn and know...

Hit box remains even when Retracted, pls fix
