The landing gear is a wheeled landing device able to land at decent horizontal relative velocity (in a given direction). The landing leg is a deployable leg. Their common property is ability of dumping the vertical impulse of the landing without any damage. Of course at too great landing speed (in case of landing gears running speed too) or weigh can damage these parts. They can be repaired by kerbonauts on EVA.

The landing gear has some tweakables can be employed in VAB and SPH:

  • Start Rectracted/Deployed
  • Adjusting the color of the lights:
Light R - red
Light G - green
Light B - blue
  • Disable/Enable Brakes
  • Lock/Unlock Steering (during missions too)
  • Invert Steering (during missions too)
  • Lights On/Off (during missions too)

the landing legs have some tweakables too:

  • Start Retracted/Deployed
  • Lock/Unlock Suspension (during missions too)
