I built a ship with the robotic parts pack that meant I could just turn the engines around without changing the ship. Not really useful - but looks cool

Landed it on the moon with the last drops of fuel last night too. Still yet to manage to land on the moon and get back. Being held back further from doing that by the fact the game has suddenly started crashing a lot

Most crashes are caused by adding. So try deleting the robot pack.

Thanks. However,even with firing the RCS,it seems very difficult to turn the command module around,once I have hit 3000m/s.

Also,is this is a glitch - sometimes my ship will just randomly go through phases of exploding on the launch pad. However,this is after I had loads of sucessful launches with the same rocket?? :confused:

once out the atmosphere it should be extremely easy to rotate the rocket, unless it's absolutely massive.

The sticky launch pad is a glitch.

Was fine after the robot pack, think it is the one I've added after - Cosmos. I'll have a play about with it. Imagine if I just keep only specific parts it'll work. There are lots of very similar parts that have the same function that I don't need really.

if your still using the demo version thats pretty buggy. Since the last update i've had no crashes at all

PinkFloyd · 12 May 2012 at 16:33

I'm on the bought version now. I gave in so I could play with the extra mods

It's either Cosmos or Mechjeb that is causing the crashes.

Boycey0211 · 12 May 2012 at 16:34

I reckon its cosmos, I use MechJeb and have 0 issues. I've had issues with cosmos before too.

I can only see a pre-order for the game??

So do you get a link for the newer versions if you pre-order it??

Once youve paid the donation, your account will have a download option with the latest version.

Thanks Boycey - having mixed luck with some of the parts in it anyway. The rocket boosters, whilst powerful don't seem very stable. Can certainly afford to cut back a lot of the different parts in the hope I get rid of some of the buggy bits.

Glaucus · 12 May 2012 at 17:04

New update should be out soon as well.

Thanks again.

I tried using the landing struts on the planet but for some reason they won't activate. I tried clicking the icon and nothing happens.

Boycey0211 · 12 May 2012 at 20:06

you have to use the 'g' key, clicking the icon does nothing

Thanks. I need to brush up on the commands list!

VeNT · 18 May 2012 at 19:21

update released
what does everyone think?
played a bit and tbh most of the new stuff does not interest me. also I can't get the new stuff to do much.

Overlag · 18 May 2012 at 19:33

Making planes is hard lol.

Can't for the life of me make it to the new moon, the inclination makes it harder to aim...?

PermaBanned · 19 May 2012 at 17:41

Well i haven't played much since i last posted - what's all this i hear about planes?

PermaBanned · 19 May 2012 at 19:05

An hour later, i have to admit that i have no idea how to make or fly them

It is a bit like that, although getting the hang off it know, although still can't build big planes. Almost got one craft to orbit so close, but no cigar.

When I switched the jets of and switched to rocket, it doesn't seem to switch physics. It still flew along rather than climbing like a normal rocket.

Press caps for fine controll, makes flying easier.
