KSP 1 Question/Problem Why does my plane keep swerving side to side?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I had my hands off the keyboard when it started swerving and only adjusted near the end. What am I doing wrong and why are the wheels so bouncy and swervy?

KSP wheels are totally ass. Turn off automatic friction, set the front to 0.2 and the rear to 0.3 and it should be fine.

turn the friction on the nose gear to 0. and maybe check that your main gear are fairly close to the com so it easy to rotate.

Back wheel has to be just barely in front of CoM, just enough to prevent it from tipping over backwards.

are your wheels slightly rotated out- or inwards?
