Climberfx, locate your INPUT_DEVICES block in settings.cfg and look there. Probably you have something like " = 0", i.e. you have device 0 without a proper name. Than locate your axis settings. There for every axis you probably have "name = Joystick 0". If it is your case, than you can't change INPUT_DEVICES block, but you can change axis settings block so it will have "name = " instead of "name = Joystick 0". It worked for me.

Thanks swjr-swis. But it looks pretty kerbal-like and gives a floating in vacuum docking port after separation, nevertheless attached firmly. And generally looks very tricky. I have no place for docking port at the fore end of my payload and, I think, additional weight of struts is not a problem.

Hi 5thHorseman. Probably I can't get your comment right, but if I attach my single payload to the fairing base through decoupler or through decoupler again to interstage node - then I don't get any more stiffness to the structure because connection goes through week point only or have helping trusses but inseparable payload (decoubler explodes and that is all). So I feel EAS-4 struts necessary. Thank You, Deddly, I'm new to KSP forums and learned about Gameplay Questions from your post.

I think I got it. Interstage nodes and trusses are for multiple small payloads in one protective shell. To make my one payload attached firmly I need to use EAS-4 struts. Not an elegant solution, but at least it works... reliably.

Hello. Can anyone please explain me how to use interstage nodes and truss structure that available and turned on by default for Airstream protective shells in KSP v1.2? I have relatively hefty payload with weak attachment point - so truss structure supporting it during ascent would be just fine to make assembly stiff. But I can't figure out how to detach my payload from that Airstream protective shell when I place my payload at interstage node inside it to have truss structure supporting it.

Just thinking about troubles at runway with speed as high as 100 m/s... my designs mostly have 70-80 m/s take-off speed and honestly... 100 m/s is freaking 200 knots! But Concorde take-off speed for example is about 110 m/s, so, that's real by the way.

Nearly the same performance. Rolling faster than 30 m/s is risky on lvl1 runway. Have no lvl2 runway in 1.1 so far. Launching and landing my planes vertically

Is anyone have issues with the LY-1 and LY-5 wheels at time warp (higher simulation speed)? My 'plane' is rolling at just 2 m/s and stress on wheels is 5-10%. But when I use time warp to x2 it starts to jump wildly and some wheel quickly explodes due to overstress.

Thx @HebaruSan, inspired by your success in turning prefs file into working state and write-protecting it I made the same thing. Mine already was full screen 1, it was UnityGraphicsQuality set to 4 that caused launch failure. Setting it to 2 or 0 solves the issue. But I'll use script, I need command line option and don't want to start steam every time to play KSP.

If you don't know how to do something in linux you should start with googling it, something like "How to do 'that thing' in Linux". At first you need to figure out what you need to make KSP working. I have Kubuntu 14.04, Intel CPU and AMD Graphics and mine script looks like that: Aside from being a text file, script should be marked with executable flag as @HebaruSan have mentioned above. Generally you can set that flag through gui in file properties of your script text file. Actually mine script deletes prefs file so my KSP is able to start and passes command line option -force-glcore to KSP binary to counter some glitches.

Stone Blue, my prefs file also looks OK, but nonetheless I need to delete it before launching KSP cause it won't start if prefs file is present. And I'm not alone with that. Have launch script to do the task.

At first Linux Version of KSP 1.1 looked completely broken, but after rummaging that thread I managed to work around all major issues encountered so far. Thank you! The "-force-glcore" command line option cured missing terrain around my craft flying low at Kerbin.

Experience the same bug as @ChewieRolo but not with AGU, with small docking port. Thanks to @ChewieRolo, I know that thing happens with undocking in general. In my case ships looked like separated, but still attached to each other by invisible string and considered one ship. FL-A5 Adapter with docking port attached to it was catapulted outward - looked very much like gravity was not affecting it. I'm playing Steam 1.05 so all available fixes should present and bug still happens. Not found any output_log.txt (I'm on Linux), but KSP.log have some warnings regarding that flight.

I'm personally don't care much about nationality of that or those part. What I'm really appreciate about KSP is that while NASA, Roscosmos, EASA, JAXA, and so on are very cash-strapped now and can't afford the pace of space exploration of the 60-s, at least we have that game to play with! I'm really much more inspired with ability to replicate possible near-future space missions with near future hardware no matter whose national space program designs it fits most. But for now I need to place a man kerbal on the Moon Mun, or develop and launch a probe to nearby planet - passed stage for Earth space programs, but I need some experience to go further.

Also make no mistake - I'm only beginner with KSP and my tech level is low I personally just see the game without missions and money/science limitations a way too boring for me now. Also I'm not having played a lot with simple designs to the point that I'll want something really cool and hi-tech and need all the parts unlocked now. So I play Carrier... and have found it very comfortable at Normal difficulty. But it can be better of course. I do. Have bought 1.05 and know nothing else. In my case there were two - both Jeb and Valentina - and both while I have learned recovery from steep suborbital. I replayed of course. I also have found learning 1.05 a bit tough at the very beginning and it should be fixed in 1.1 with more detailed tutorials. Also having Stayputnik from the start would be enough in my case.
