Space station contract
catonthekbd replied to SmadaEkim's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
The stock contracts I have have said the same - but I am not 100% sure if the "launch in one go" applied to whole vehicle, or just the core bit specified in the first line of the contract - experiments needed -
first time I have run KSP in months used my usual patch technique. Copied 1.9.1 directory to a 1.10.1 one, and the attempted to patch the new directory All I get is "directory not valid" errors - any ideas what I have done wrong? 1.10 folder ready to be patched - ksp runs from it fine trying to patch it Computer says no :(

Newish career game, the first 4 tech tree nodes open, all buildings level 1, apart for Astronaut at lvl2 Sent Jeb to orbit to farm some EVA science. Found I had enough Dv to do a Mun flyby. Thought it would be interesting challenge, as no patched conics, or manoever nodes yet. Did a sucessful flyby at low altitude, intending to use gravity assist to drop me back into Kerbin atmosphere. (you can tell where this is going already, can't you ... ) The resulting Ap on exit from Mun SOI looked a little high - somewhere above minmus !, and as I got near it I got a message that I had left Kerbin SOI ! Now how to get Jeb home safely with 500 m/s Dv and none of my usual tools available on the map screen .... Got there in the end, thanks to a fluke aerobrake at *just* inside heat threshold , in a mission took over a year Jeb's dinner was ruined - he forgot to turn the oven off.

how do i capture an asteroid?
catonthekbd replied to minerbat's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
It can be worth selecting the asteroid in the tracking station and then moving your viewpoint so both lines of the Asteroids orbit are in-line with each other (and also centred on the 'dot' in middle of Kerbin), and you are above the equator. Now carefully timewarp until KSC is also in line with the orbit, and launch at the inclination of the asteroid orbit lines. With a bit of luck you should be nearly in the same plane as the asteroid, saving tons of Delta-v. Now go catch it -
Will KSP 2 be released to mobile?
catonthekbd replied to The quantum physicist's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
I would love a mobile app that talked to my main PC running KSP(2), and displayed status info/maps/etc. -
looks like they did not replicate the 11 hours before liftoff that the rocket computer is switched on when doing the in-house testing (best theory so far seen on NSF forum)

[1.4.x] Contract Pack: Tourism Plus [v1.5.2] [2016-12-14]
catonthekbd replied to nightingale's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
I had a bit of a nightmare with the Casino contract - it would not recognize any of the parts matched the contract Screenshot Undocking, and re-docking the main accomodation module (5x inflatable units at the far end) suddenly fixed most problems, but it still could not "see" the centrifuge at the near end. I tried undocking and re-docking it, but could not control it ! - so gave it a viking funeral, and replaced with a simple 10 bed unit to get 100 bed total now have a working Casino I just have to remember to leave the keybaod alone after entering Physics range for 15 seconds while it loads up.- 692 replies
