  1. I've been wondering if anybody else is having the same problems that I've been having; namely with the 2.5 meter tanks, some of the size adapters, and some other miscellaneous parts. A picture of the affected parts is here:

    • All Rockomax fuel tanks
    • All of the "splitting" adapters (e.g. 2.5m => 2x1.25m)
    • The Rockomax 1.25m => 2.5m adapter
    • The small, rounded nose cone

    I'm running Making History, which might be the culprit, but I'd like to keep it installed.
    Is there something I've missed in installation?

  2. Hello! I have a small issue with the 1.7 update.

    None of the mod-added parachutes are working (that is, the small drogue, the radial drogue, and the docking port/parachute combo.) They don't even appear to have the parachute module installed - they are completely inert (aside from the docking mechanism on the docking port.) I have reinstalled the mod on an otherwise stock .90 install (and no, this time I did not forget to put ModuleManager in the Gamedata folder :P) It's a small issue, seeing as how I don't usually use the drogues, but they would be handy to have nonetheless.

  3. The Mystery Goo and Science Jr. experiments are designed to do that, so you have to return the data back to Kerbin for full science return. Later on in the game (or maybe you've already unlocked it, I don't know) you get the ability to reset the science experiments with the Science Lab, but that's heavy, really big, and fragile.

    TL;DR: It's designed to do that. Land on Kerbin, then hit the Recover button for best results.

  4. Edlu is a reference to Ed Lu, who founded the B612 foundation and is also a former astronaut.

    Kurt is a (rrrrrrr)reference(!) to Kurtjmac, best known for his Far Lands or Bust series but who also helped get KSP some publicity after playing it in a long running-series on his channel.

    Hope this helped!

  5. Welcome to the forums!

    First of all, fuel lines wouldn't help at all in this case, because those are solid fuelled rockets which use solid fuel instead of liquid fuel and oxidizer, which is what is stored in the fuel tanks. However, if you were using a liquid fuelled rocket engine such as the LVT-30 or Rockomax Mainsail, then it would use the fuel in the fuel tanks.

    Second, solid fuel doesn't flow through fuel pipes. Only liquids (like liquid fuel and oxidizer) do.

    I'm a little curious: what was the purpose of those pipes? If you put the right kind of engine on below it then it would flow down to it anyway.

    Good luck and fly safe!

  6. Edit: Ninja no Ninja-ing!

    Have you tried KSP Interstellar? It's got that functionality built-in.

    On Eve, sure. Its atmosphere seems harmless enough, the only thing is its incredible density and heat. However, Venus has a corrosive atmosphere that's even hotter and under even more pressure than Eve's. Not likely there, I'm afraid...

  7. Nice plane. Are the roundified mono prop tanks the "bombs"?

    Oh, and another thing. How does the G-Force affect the Kerbals in vanilla - eh, stock KSP? I know from FAR that the wings and the other stuff would break apart at too much G, but does it.. kill Kerbals at high G-Force? Would be great to know because sometimes my planes also get really high G-Force (aaaand then they crash into the ground.:D..)

    Volcanix

    Nope! Kerbals are absolutely indestructible in a cockpit (unless of course you crash (or have mods.))
