  1. Awesome! Glad it worked out for ya Can\'t wait until other planets get added, it\'ll add a new challenge for sure.
  2. 'One does not simply land into Mun..' Good luck next time :$ This is a hard craft to pilot due to lack of SAS module on the lander, but it compensates with extra landing fuel. To anyone trying this craft, practice in Kearth orbit all the stages to become familiar because the difficulty of landing this ship is hard. But the reward of roving the Mun makes it all worth the mission (and adds the realistic difficulty of landing a rover on another planet)
  3. I installed your mod, it\'s great, but only half the fairing cover shows up when I try to use the symmetry, did i miss something?
  4. Thanks for the comments, glad you guys liked this one! Here is the craft file: http://www./?ti9ei6ya92i7e00 Enjoy!
  5. Yep. With some parts from the 'landing legs' pack. It all fit really nicely. I\'ll post the craft file here if interested: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=5896.0
  6. Mun Rover with a nice view of Kearth in the background, and the descent stage at the landing site on the right
  7. Welcome! This is a great game to jump to from Orbiter. 'Uhm... Help?' If I had a nickel for every time a Kerbal said that..
  8. Second Mun Rover mission! This time, my target landing site was the rim of one of the larger craters: Nice view of Kearth Successfully tilted the rover with RCS for an ascent stage launch Back home we go! (more pics soon) I will post the craft file here soon, I am writing up a few notes as instructions to include in the pack, hope you enjoyed the stories This is a cool experience every time, it feels like the Mars Exploration Rover missions. The next missions will aim to land on higher peaks of the Mun..
  9. One of my rover missions, with kearth in the background! To the right, the descent stage at the landing site.
  10. Welcome and congratz! You should install a landing module mod such as simple legs to help stabilize your landings
  11. So after landing on the Mun multiple times with the similar ships, I decided to tackle the next challenge: Landing a Munar Rover that can travel on the surface, then jettison a return capsule back to Kerbin (with precious Munar soil, mostly useful for booster fuel of course). NEW video: Journey begins with a good ol\' rocket, with the Munar Rover on top: Landing site: Sea of Instability, nice flat ground for testing of the rover Successful landing of the descent stage! Rover carefully deployed with a push from the RCS, soft landing on the Munar surface Testing out the RCS surface controls, working smoothly over the rough terrain Leaving the descent stage behind.. Rover turns easily on the ground, aiming for the closest hill a visit Firing main engine, and we are now cruising the Munar landscape Traveling quite the distance on a full tank of gas 30 Minutes later.. we\'ve traveled to the nearest hill, and you can see far on the top right.. our original landing site From the descent stage, you can barely see the Rover far away End of surface exploration activities, time to line up the rover for the ascent stage\'s liftoff home Failed liftoff, Kerbals survived! Time to tweak the design again.. After I refine the design, my next landing site will be near the mountains to test the rover\'s capabilities over rougher terrain. Hope you enjoyed the story, this is a great game!
  12. My first Mun landing where I got Kerbin in view (as planned and carefully timed): This was a nice challenge, happy with the results.
  13. Hello fellow Kerbinauts! Introducing myself, I\'ve played many games and simulators, including Orbiter. I found KSP last week and got hooked, this game is fresh with innovation and never gets old even with the current content. What I specially like about KSP: -Original terrain throughout the entire planet and moons, with detailed textures on the ground as you land: great touch of realism -Challenge of building a rocket to achieve your goal: Nothing like the satisfaction of going through 7 versions of a rocket to finally land successfully on Mun I have landed multiple times on Mun successfully (and unsuccessfully), but here is my first landing where I got Kerbin in my view for a great shot: One of my rover missions, with kearth in the background! To the right, the descent stage at the landing site. My topic for the Mun Rover (with craft file soon): http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=5896.0 I\'ll be following and supporting the development of KSP closely, keep up the good work guys! May your Kerbals survive.. mostly.
