Lander falls through ground when landing at mission near edge of map
New, WishlistPublic

Description

In 'Automatic' mode, the lander software that picks up the terrain and follows it to the landing site cannot pick up a ground surface if it's vertical descent is over the area outside the detailed/main terrain map. Instead it maintains descent speed and falls right through the map and keeps on falling, eventually depleting the fuel in the landing thrusters.
