Finding it really hard to actually get to places like Mun. I can launch and orbit without a problem on a fairly simple rocket but getting the heading and speed right to make 'contact' with somewhere i'm really having trouble with
Kerbal Space Program
- Thread starter Greg0986
- Start date
To hit planets you need to go at a certain heading mun is 90 or 180 hdg.
As for sped that's easy, change to map view and cut once your orbit extend just past the mun.
As there's no oxygen or power ATM, timing is not important. Put it to max time shift and eventually they will meet.
Anyone been following 0.16 update its looking awesome. I hope it's out soon.

Small LFE effect - Done
SRB effect - Done in 0.15.1
Small SRB effect - Done
Light smoke effect - More in progress-er
Heavy smoke effect - More in progress-er

Probably a couple off weeks.
Nice, thanks!
Great little summary Glaucus, of KSP.16 features!
Really excited myself, its (F5) every 2-3 hours, for extra snippets of information, even at work. I'd estimate another few weeks.
Squad, seem to be taking the same approach as Valve. "Its done, when its done." Which I like a lot!
Beside's, I am a Volunteer Test Subject, so I get to beta test the new versions before other members!
Role on Beta testing!

Lol, it flies - I saw something similar on the kerbal forums that was a space plane capable of getting to the Mun and back.

it's not a speed demon, that's for sure, but it's stable enough in the air!
i thought i'd get fancy and add rockets instead of jets, went to fly it and the sides fell off on take off.

added struts everywhere to stiffen it up (ooerrr) and now one side falls off before i can even get going!

It out ran you?
Your blue line, indicating orbit path, needs to stretch past the mun, how far depends on the muns position.
Once you stretch past the mun, throttle down to 10%, an watch for the line to change colour an shape. As the orbit prediction system kicks in it should change orange. Thats good. Red is escape.

I went past, turned around, but didn't seem to be getting much closer... then i realised that the moon and I were going in the same direction and I was running out of fuel

what do I do now?
