arthur106 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Hey everyone, this is a bit of a late introduction, as I started playing about a month ago. Anyway, I´m switching over from the dark side, having played Orbiter on and off for many years. Since starting, I've managed to get set up surface and orbital stations/fuel depots around minmus and mun and I've sent Jeb to Eve's surface and back (that was a PITA). I've got comm relays set up on every planet and moon all the way from Moho to Duna. I'll be going there next. I'm also slowly tinkering with KOS. I downloaded it two days ago and have a working launch script that follows a pre-computed or recorded launch profile (I'll be using MATLAB to optimize the ascent once i do a little bit more research on how to predict drag). Is there anywhere in this forum (or elsewhere) where I can post bits of my code and get advice? Just a small bit of background on myself. I have a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and am an airline pilot by profession. Somehow, these two qualifications don't stop me from killing poor Jeb on a regular basis! Ich hätte gedacht, es gab mehre Deutsche hier. Es gibt viele schon beim Orbiter Forum. Wo versteckt ihr euch alle?

Vanamonde Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 You returned from Eve after playing for a month? I've been playing for 7 years (on and off) and still have never managed to bring anything back from Eve. I don't know what kind of coding advice you're looking for, but you could ask here. Welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur106 Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 It was a VERY expensive trip, 3 separate launches, and I may have "cheated" by using alt F12 to set my lander on the surface during the design process. But I did complete the whole trip from start to finish without cheating...except when i edited the save file to place jeb back in the ascent vehicle; somehow one of the ladders got deleted when I was making iterations to my design in the VAB. But I didn't want to go all the way back, so can I really be blamed? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY are all the new players/members using kOS, while I have been playing since 0.23 and know how to use “print” and “stage.” 1 hour ago, arthur106 said: except when i edited the save file to place jeb back in the ascent vehicle; somehow one of the ladders got deleted when I was making iterations to my design in the VAB.

I assume @arthur106, that you meant a question about a kOS script, which you develop, is that correct? In that case, I have a feeling, that a subforum of the abovementioned one may be more suitable: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/forum/104-general-mod-development-help-and-support/ - there is a sticky post, which mentions scripts as a suitable content.

And herzlich willkommen! (Kein Deutsche, aber ich mag die Sprache. ) perfect, thats what I was looking for Neither am I; I grew up with it and spoke quite fluently years ago and am slowly regaining what I've lost. I'm just surprised by the evident lack of German speakers here. I recall seeing a fair number of [Ger] posts over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, yup I think we all do this on a daily basis, haha! Welcome to the KSP forum @arthur106. New here myself since the end of last year, but yea so much fun with KSP and this forum. Wow you seem like me! I have always loved rocketry all my life and so cool to see another engineer here. My advice for coding related stuff is a youtube guy called Mike Aben. A math teacher that does KSP and kos. The best recommendation I have....Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
