160% UI scale is the number where the UI is still all there for me. Anything higher and stuff starts to disappear/fall apart.

I lost Valentina, when she returned from the worlds first orbit around Kerbin, because I made my suborbital rocket bigger, but did not add additional parachutes, so she crashed. When I later send the first kerbaled mission to the Mün, I lost Jeb, Bob and Bill on return, because I used the small radial prachutes, which I forgot where drag chutes, not propper chutes, so they crashed. I hate parachutes.

I actually found the old variants in the VAB. When you use the advance filters (e.g. for cross section diameter) the old variant will show up too. I was able to stick it to a rocket, but I did not yet test how it will look when I launch a rocket with such an old styled engine.

@4x4cheesecake I did all this before reporting this problem. @Starhawk Sorry about the spam, I will try to remember this for the next time. @OHara The workaround from the bug seems to work. Thanks.

- moderator edit - Above is the log of me starting a new game, going directly into the VAB, opening the DeltaVApp, trying to chaning the body (unsuccessfull) and then exiting the game the way I entered it.

I can not change the body in the new DeltaV tool in the VAB. When I try to open the body list by clicking on the Kerbin button or the arrow right next to it first after entering the VAB the list will show up for a split second but the tool will close immediately. When I click that button again (after reopening the DeltaV tool) the tool stays open, but the body list doesn't appear. KSP 1.6.1 (english) Windows 10 64bit Steam installation

In the main menu settings (Main Menu > Settings > General) is an option called "Default Throttle in Prelaunch". You can move this slider to 0 to get your starting throttle down (for all newly launched vessels).

Do you have the option "Ease in Gravity" enabled in the general settings? This effects how hard ships/planes are pulled down when set on the launchpad/runway.

What do you mean by "flying mode"? You can only use maneuver nodes for vessels that you are currently "flying". You can't edit or use maneuver nodes from the tracking station.

For those who where looking for some details on graphics settings here is a reddit thread that gives some details on those: https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/6cv7r8/optimise_your_ksp_experience/

It could be more dV efficient to do the contracts the other way around.

Good Heavens, are you sure you used enough Girders?

This should have been in the Gameplay questions section. In career mode you have to upgrade your buildings to unlock new abilities. To be able to use Maneuver Nodes you need to upgrade your Tracking Station.
