Hello. I'm having problems with the settings in Space Center Menu. Every time I change something it gets reset after one flight. Have tried changing flap buttons and turning of aero stress. Is there a settings file in GameData folder i can change to keep my new settings (couldn't find it myself)?

Hey. Im thinking about installing FAR in my current carrer save. Have been playing a little already and want to know what FAR does to my current rockets design. I haven’t made any planes yet and want to install FAR before doing so. Designed all my rockets as realistic as possible (slim, only boosters hanging of the side and always with nosecones). I remember that before version 1.0 you needed less Delta-V to get rocket into orbit because of less drag when using FAR compared to stock (would reverse this by using the KIDS mod). How is it looking now after version 1.0 with the new stock aerodynamic s? How big is the difference in delta-v req to orbit/drag for rockets (vertical takeoff) between stock and FAR? Asking because I don't what my current rockets to change to much. Keep using the same lifters over and over again.

The patch seems to have fixed launch button bug for me. Hope the other guys with problem can confirm as well. Great mod. Really adds to the game.

Ok. I'll test tomorrow.

Just send you a pm with a link to my log.

Disabling launch override and using KCT menu seems to have fixed my problem. The launch button stays off after each recover.

I land recover, build new ship or use the same again and the i hit launch. Just realised the mistake lets me skip launchpad repairs.

No no you dont sound fustrated at all. I guessed you wouldnt be able to find out with my limeted info. How to i find the log when game doesnt crash? Have .... loads of mods installed. Will be a lot of work figuring out which is the problem

I have a problem with the mod. I launch one mission and everything works as it should. After landing a recovery KCT stops working and i can do instant launches. Have to restart game to make the mod work again. Has anyone else tried this?

The problem is isnt that i drop engine and i can switch. The problem was that engine exploded and entry and rest of ship disapered because engine was set as core part.

Ok so i have to add decopler. Which will then set Heatshield as core part, change ship after dropping engine and again after dropping heatshield. :/

Hey. I just send my 4 part probe to Eve/Gilly. The plan was to leave a Scansat sat in orbit around both and have a lander for both. So lots of decoples was set ud. After decopling the lander for Eve from rest of craft the engine was selected as core part. The plan for probe was to let engine and fueltank burn up during entry to safe a decopler (playing with DR). Tried to change core part with the control from here of probes. But didnt work. So i lost the lander when engine broke. Now i have to wait for next transfer window and spend money on new rocket (playing no save mode). Is there anyway i could avoid what happened?

I like trying to replicate real like missions to a certain degree. For example almost all my missions to the moon it with a lander/orbiter design. But i dont make the lander a 2 stage lander like the apollo LEM. Just isnt worth it when you look at cost and looks. I like to challenge myself though. Using the mods FAR, DRE and KIDS and made my own challenges like having to use fairings to cover importain parts and avoid using asparagus to much. When playing like this rockets will look like real rocket. But im not trying to replicate.

Did what was the coolest mission in a while. Send up a Eve/Gilly probe with scansat sats and landers for both. One problem though. The 2,5 interstage from KW mod didnt decouple as i expected, so the second stage stayed on rocket and made the 3 stage nuclear engine unuseable. I quickly transfered fuel from Nuclear stage to 2 stage and got into orbit. I now had a failed 200k rocket. At first i wanted to launch a new rocket. My economy could handle it (play no save and no revert), but would, but i would rather find a solution. First idea: refuel stage 2 and 3 and fly mission with stage 2 engine. But the ISP of this engine was way to low and i would need a big rocket to carry that much fuel into orbit. Decided plan would probally be to expensive. Second idea: a refuel ship for stage 3 and after refuel crash into rocket hoping to destroy interstage. Could be an interesting mission, but decided it would be to risky when i couldnt save and reload Third idea: Remembered i saw a mod that allowed kerbals on eva to chop parts off rockets. Thought it was a bit cheaty and but then again nasa could also send up a guy with a blowtorch or can opener to cut up a rocket. Decide to go with this solution and have an interesting mission: Refuel stage 3 and cut stage 2. A simple mission. What could go wrong? As i conected the repair/refuel ship with the claw, a new core part was set and as i cut the intersage everything bellow interstage was cut. So interstage was still connected and blocked nuclear engine. Tried to cut a second time, but now i couldnt get it to work on interstage and thought cut only works once. Turned out that interstage was set as core part after first cut. So i cut nuclear rocket and saw interstage slowly drift away. Success!!! Such an exciting mission to look back on and it really only was a rendezvous and docking in LKO and a shuttle launch and landing. Think i have to look into the random falliures mod. Repair missions are cool!
