Howdy all!
Got a bit of a problem, and I'd love a bit of advice. Hopefully I'm posting this in the right forum, if not, feel free to criticize and or mock.
Here we have the SSV Normandy, and I'm having a little issue with setting up the landing gear. In the original stowed position I have no problem, the gear will quite happily mooch where it should be. However, the problem occurs when it comes to lowering the gear.
This is where I left the gear. Both struts are rotated down correctly, and in the right position for a landing. However, a problem occurs when I log out.
After logging out, and continuing the scenario, here's where the gear has ended up. It's not a huge shift, but it's enough to throw the rotation out of whack when it comes to stowing the gear. I am utterly bewildered as to why this is occuring. Is it a general problem with the Spacecraft 3 system, a problem with orbiter as a whole, or general incompetence? My vote's on the latter.
Anyone got any ideas?

Note, both gear struts are animated separately, but suffer the same problem, ending up with an identical offset after reloading. Is it a problem with the animations I've set here?
Yours, utterly confused, Cirius.
