Stuck fast

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

I've submitted a support ticket but, in the meantime, I was wondering if there's anything else I can try.

• Took off from Dav's Hope
• Climbed far enough to enter SC and engaged it
• SC didn't complete
• Orange sidewinder

I have tried:

• Quiting the game by forcing a stop via task manager
• Rebooting the game and the launcher
• Rebooting the PC

Now I'm stuck in space above the planet.

• The thrusters are inactive but won't reactivate
• The ship will not accelerate, pitch, yaw or otherwise steer
• Panels such as nav and right-hand all activate
• SC will not engage
• Gal and sysmas work

Very strange...

Have you tried directly hyperjumping to another system - that is supposed to be a work-round for this.

 

[Ian Doncaster]

It sounds like it thinks you're still landed - can you "take off" to reactivate the thrusters?

 

[Vic Dorn]

This happens to me too. I think the solution was to quit and launch the game in basic mode (without horizon).

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Cheers CMDRs. I'll give those things a try very shortly!

 

[Craith]

You might want to check if your modules are enabled and maybe also try to reboot your ship

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

I did try a ship reboot but the reboot doesn't actually activate. All modules except thrusters are active.

Just having a spot of lunch and a Latvian brandy then I'll be back at the helm...

 

[Vandaahl]

What happens if you disable something and then re-enable the thrusters?

 

[aRJay]

How about launching in Base game rather than Horizons, that will definitely make it believe you are in space.

 

[Oborax]

Have you tried exiting and re-entering the game in just elite dangerous via the launcher - ie don't select the horizons version, just the plain vanilla elite dangerous?

you just beat me to it!
was typing as you posted

Something similar happened to me. I ended up upside down INSIDE the planet. I ended up having to Thrust up, even though i was upside down, then that seemed to fix it for me. Was the wierdest manouver i have ever had to make!?!?!

This solved it! I "took off" and bingo, I was able to do stuff.

Cheers!

Now all I have to do is fly to my carrier I'd sent off somewhere before the "crash"

Or call it back again.

Yes, press and hold the up key as if you were landed, I have had this in the past long ago logging out on small bodies. The other option is to log to non-horizons which should de-activate the landing functions.

Ok didn't read to the end, well done!

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

All I need now is to cancel the whining plea to support - which I'm not sure how to do!

 

[Craith]

Now the question is - could you have gone to the SRV?

 

[varonica]

Now the question is - could you have gone to the SRV?

The answer is, yes you can! I was once stuck around 24km above the surface in the same way, so naturally being of a scientific bent I tested to see if I could launch the SRV, which proceeded to plummet towards the ground with me in it! The ship seems to thinks it's landed, but the SRV doesn't!

I knew it, I had a picture somewhere of me stuck;

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Glad I didn't get to try that then!
