Does adding multiple SAS modules make a difference?

ah didnt know about T, i was just holding F down, Thanks! Ive also added more SAS modules to make it work better. I just shot them off to like 600000M and still going up before i ran out of time. Off to work i go

How do you fire up the next stage engine after previous one has finished?
After I separated liquid fuel engine, I tried igniting solid fuel engine, but didn't work

I know liquid fuel engine requires fuel tank but what about solid fuel booster/engine?
Soldato
Even so, for single engined perfectly symmetrical designs i've found holding down E to be a lot more effective than F or T.
SRB's do not require fuel, they are basically a big lump of solid fuel that burns, once they are lit they cannot be put out or regulated like conventional rocket engines.

This vid got me in a stable orbit:
I've been trying to create a lander that can launch, return, land and take off again. I've created one which can take off, land and take off again, only going a few K up, but when I try to add more stages to get it out of the atmosphere the stages always mess up and don't follow the order they are supposed to

Microengine and fuel tank out now on the website!

My game is stuck on the loading screen tried restarting it several times but no luck. Only happened since I installed the microengine pack so I'm guessing it this but has anyone else had this problem?
EDIT: Don't matter now, fixed it

My game is stuck on the loading screen
I did, closed it a few times and restarted but i left it on another workspace while i watched a video and came back to it on the main menu, so my guess is that it's not 'stuck' so much as taking a long time.
New:
* Added copying of parts (and sets of parts) by holding Alt while clicking on them.
* Replaced tricoupler textures and UV mapping (UV map by Dippeggs)
* Parachutes can now deploy automatically if jettisoned along with other parts (allowing for parts to be safely landed)
* Stage decouplers can now share fuel across stages.
* Added Keys to control the camera in the VAB (+/- for zooming, pgup/pgdown for scrolling)
* Added Keys to control the camera in flight (+/- for zooming)
* Added some sound effects for the parachute opening
* Added cfg-definable parameter for parachute autodeployment delay
* Added a debugging console to the game (can be toggled with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C)
* Right-clicking the Symmetry Button will now step the symmetry mode back.
* It is no longer possible to select a part of the ship while the mouse is over any interface items.
* Added toggle key to switch between precision or instant input modes (Caps Lock)
* Pitch, Yaw and Roll gauges change color to indicate mode (orange for instant, cyan for precision)
* Exposed Kd, Ki and Kp parameters for tuning the SAS and CommandPod modules
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed the staging lock LED not turning purple after launch
* Icons no longer show a transparent border floating around then mousing over disconnected parts.
* Fixed a bug where deleting a symmetrical part would sometimes leave it’s counterparts floating around.
* Fixed a bug where creating a new stage with a decoupler and then removing it would generate errors.
* Fixed most sound volume decay over distance problems.
* Fixed a bug that caused a massive performance drop when fuel tanks emptied (fuel tank switch lag bug)
* The Flight camera will now remain always centered on the ship’s center of mass.
* The Screenshot function will now create a Screenshots directory if one isn’t found.
* The altimeter will now go past 999,999K correctly (it will move up to 1000M, then 1000G, 1000T and so on)
* Fixed a bug that could cause large ships to explode at 5,000m altitude.

im now managing quiet good orbiting... yet to have enough fuel to De-Orbit burn though

Check out the Challenger. 
Not sure if I'll ever get them back! They weren't exactly slowing down when I ran out of fuel. I had to turn it off in the end as I was getting bored.
