Revision as of 08:33, 29 April 2015
Some parts within the game are listed as having a small mass, but in the config file a flag is set "PhysicsSignificance = 1". This has the effect that in flight physics calculations such as mass and drag are not calculated for that part. When constructing a craft, the root part can't be such a part.
Behaviour
A craft with only massless parts starts to oscillate after a short time and then starts to destroy itself. But this is usually not possible because the root part is always not a massless part. The game can change the property on the fly, because when a new root part after decoupling would be massless the game removes that special status.
