Eleven

I'm with this guy. I'm a linux user and the mouse scroll bug is a deal breaker for me. I did fire up a new install of the game and it's very laggy, with ZERO mods installed. I'll wait on some real optimization for this release before I commit.

That didn't work for me with Mechjeb 2

I run it with the 64bit client on a laptop, using Linux Mint. Being on a laptop, I have no choice but to run it with the X server driver and it's fine for me. I have heard that a better graphics card does make the game look better, but I have no complaints with my visuals. I have also heard people say that the 64bit client is buggy, but again, I've had no issues with it. Other than the new mouse scroll bug in the update, I couldn't be happier. (Not going to run 0.20 until that is fixed and the mods all catch up)

So hard to just judge it from orbit. Anyone have coordinates?

So...they broke mouse scrolling in 0.20? Cause it worked fine in 0.19

I would kill for a KSP VAB app for android. Don't really need to run missions, but it would be awesome to be able to assemble stuff on my phone!

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but I find myself trying to right-click and pan around screenshots of KSP stuff that I find

.craft file please

Still missing cl.large.nuclearEngine

You need to post the mods you're using as well, can't load the craft because I'm missing 9 components.

At least I can drop vehicles in orbit (haven't looked at Hyper Edit enough to drop them on the surface yet) and test them. Would suck to build and fly all the way there to realize you can't come back.

Ugh. Can't take off from Eve

I wondered if there was a way to just insert a ship into orbit somewhere. I'll look for that!

That video solution is cool. I would rather have him go out and down the outside of the tanks. Maybe I should just launch and see if this thing actually can land and take off from Eve first?

This is hopefully going to Eve. That black tank is for descent and initial liftoff from Eve, and the second stage with all the boosters is to get me the rest of the way. I've tried all kinds of configs for the ladders, I'm working now on using 3 large grey tanks instead of that black one...but I'm thinking that isn't really the issue. The issue is once the Kerbal gets to the top of the ladder, he just falls off. I can sometimes get them down to the top of the black tank, and even off of the black tank, but getting back up is the problem. I need a way to transition from the top of the ladder, onto the top of the black tank without falling back down off of the ladder.

I have THIS craft that I'm trying to create a way for the Kerbal to get out of the capsule and down to the ground. I'm coming up short, can't get any ladder configuration to work. I can get him down the main tank between SRBs and onto the booster tank, but I can't get him over the booster tank edge onto a ladder reliably. I have come close, but I can't get him back up again. I have KSPX parts, KW Rocketry, Quantum Struts and Mechjeb 2.0 parts on this craft if you want to try it out and help me EDIT - Here is a screenshot for quicky suggestions

Physical time warp can rip your ship apart, be careful. Another tip is, if your in orbit, waiting years on a window to open to do your burn you can put any other vehicle on the launch pad and time warp your heart out using it, there are no limits on time warp for a ship sitting on the pad.

Nice, Just being able to look at it and see what it takes to get down and back up off of Eve will help me!

I've been working on something to take off from Eve...it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I was using a 3 man capsule. I think I'm going to scratch that and start from a 1 man capsule and see how that works. Does anyone have .craft files they want to share of their Eve landers and liftoff vehicles?

Going to try this right now!

I'm loving this thread now. Learning lots of new stuff. I don't know if it was the physical accelerated time or not, but shortly after learning that, I tried it out and didn't see any noticable shaking, but *after* I turned it off and went to make another move, one of my 4 nuke engines fell off I'm going to disable it's opposite and try to continue this mission to Eve, there is enough fuel left to make a difference on my ship in orbit. In the meantime I'll disable all the middle RCS ports and just use the ones on the ends to see if that helps on this mission. I'll re-do this transport ship with linear RCS's and an additional command pod and see if that helps in the future.

Nice idea, never thought of that! Another great idea. Never knew about physical time acceleration or adding more command pods.

Here are the ships' stats. I have a few that are this large and they all act sluggish. I think I need to find a balance for the number of RCS ports I have, too many and you just blow through your RCS fuel. All the RCS I have used so far was used to dock them originally, and then to try and use the RCS to turn the entire ship around for the purposes of testing for this thread: BTW, 234 tons, it's heading to Eve Orbit for refueling. I have another, larger ship there now that used most of it's fuel just to get to orbit, I can't land or leave until I refuel

Here is a SS of one of the ships that just don't like to turn. It has plenty of RCS thrusters and I tried turning RCS on to change from Retrograde to Prograde and it took about 1/4 of my RCS fuel just to do that once. Doesn't seem like that should be the case, how many times do you have to turn your ship just on one mission? Not to mention docking, it would mean that I need to carry as much RCS fuel as I do Rocket fuel. This second image is when I'm using RCS to make the change from Retrograde to Prograde.

I don't think I'm relaying my issue correctly. I can't even get a ship to rotate effectively. It takes forever to change a ships direction to face a node, go prograde or retrograde...once I finally do get to those points, things work great, but getting my ship pointed where I want it too takes so long it seems something is wrong. Even with MechJeb if the ship is trying to face a node, or turn retrograde, it misses the mark, swings way past and then rebounds back and forth, very very slowly until it finally reaches the target on the navball. I don't think this has anything to do with RCS. But I could be wrong.
