Has Anaconda got bigger???

Has anyone else suffered this problem or is it just me ???
Since Horizons/1.5 (64 Bit) went live I can't fly my Anaconda out of the Space Station. During the Beta it was a bit tight but now it will not fly straight out at all (not too bad flying in). The bottom of the ship seems to hit the bottom of the exit tube and rams the cockpit into the top of the exit tube, I then have to revers away to avoid being destroyed. it has cost me over 20 million Cr so far. No matter how I line-up to the exit tunnel it will not fly through. I have found however that as soon as lower contact is made if I twist the ship at perhaps 20 degrees to the tunnel it will go through. I never had problems like this before the release.

Nope, have not had that problem in Horizons. I have noticed no difference at all.
Do you retract your gear before leaving?

As Bartizan said: it's just an operator error. Conda's cockpit is on the top, so try to fly as close to mailslot's "top" side as possible.

As long as you have pips to shields and don't go extraordinarily fast, your Anaconda REALLY shouldn't be taking damage. That is, unless you get stuck for a long time and continually nudge the slot while trying to escape it... :/

There was a bug with the Cutter when the Horizons beta went live.
The ship would not exit the slot with the gear up, you had to lower the gear to get out of the slot.
It was a weird one to be sure and I smashed one of them to bits in a fit of pique trying to get it out.
I'm wondering if it could possibly be related to that.
Personally I think it's a very low probability and that operator error is at the root of this.
Post a vid of you trying to exit so we can see what's going on.

Pilot error.

I get mine stuck in the mail slot regularly...I just land on planets now, that is so much easier.

Mine is a Landaconda. :D

Just practice. It's all about your point of view. As stated earlier the cockpit is right at the top so when positioning make sure you go though what appears to be the top of the slot. The T9 on the other hand is the exact opposite - the cockpit is at the bottom. Try going as high as you can until you scrape the top then down a bit with thrusters and then you will have the perfect position to aim for in the future. Piece of cake.
