This is something I noticed with the Arrow-class transport on the UCGO module...a nicely robust add-on module, I must say. The problem is that you cannot maintain a dock with the Arrow landed on a surface. Even if the physics allow (e.g., under lunar gravity) I cannot maintain dock. I can align and capture, but once I do so, the ship drops out and effectively crashes.
I have seen a couple of aborted attempts to re-create the Pegasus from "Space Oddysey: Voyage to the Planets." The Arrow-class transport would probably be much more robust than the Pegasus. However after conversing with Dansteph the problem seems to lie with the core Orbiter program.
My request: fix this. Allow spaceplanes to be loaded when compatible. I mean making a hard dock isn't easy, but under lunar gravity? Loading for a flight? Ugh...drives me nuts. (I am however glad that the XR1/XR2 can refuel on the Arrow...makes it an ideal lander for a planetary mission.)
