What @Zeiss Ikon said. And make sure you haven't pinned the window open. Best, -Slashy

ndiver, Oh, I see what you're saying. The game doesn't contain the tutorials for the math, valid point. The *community* has the tutorials for that stuff. *EDIT* also, the wiki has useful info on the subject, Both how much DV is required to reach a destination, and how to calculate your rocket's DV. Best, -Slashy

ndiver, What do you mean? The game provides all the info needed to make the calculations. Best, -Slashy

I think that's *exactly* what Squad wanted. I think KSP was intended to make the player a better rocket scientist. Becoming a better rocket scientist includes learning the math. Best, -Slashy

Well... I mathematically model my stages and then build them so they deliver precisely the thrust and DV I need from them. If I need to calculate DV remaining, all the pertinent data is available in the stock game. Ship mass, fuel and oxidizer units, engine Isp. I do the same math that KER does. I just do it either in a spreadsheet or with the calculator. Best, -Slashy

Nope. My attempt with a submersible buggy failed. Pics to follow. Best, -Slashy

Well, I'm running a submersible buggy myself. It only does like 1 m/sec though, so I'm probably doing something wrong. Best, -Slashy

Weird. Works for me. There's no indication of time (a shame), but he's definitely traversing the sea floor and ending up at the hangar on the island airfield. Best, -Slashy

End of day 2. If I had just 2 or 3 more biomes on Kerbin, the Munar flybys wouldn't even be necessary and I could close out the Caveman in 2 days. Still... I'm doing okay. I have enough science in my pocket to close it out so long as I recover one of my probes intact. Best, -Slashy

I'd say the opposite is the problem: Hiring kerbals is too expensive. I always staff my careers with rescuees. Best, -Slashy

Not that I know of. The sound effects aren't individual files that can be swapped. Best, -Slashy

Moreover, they are under no obligation to provide any support or updates whatsoever. It's not like they're getting paid to do this. Best, -Slashy

Well presumably... Since the variants point to .png files in the folder for texture and bumpmap, the variants can be cloned to create new variants with textures as .jpg instead of .png. I haven't tried it, though... Best, -Slashy

The possibilities...

No, but it sounds interesting. Got a link? Best, -Slashy

Other: Finally, a tier-1 runway that's flat! Best, -Slashy

Behold: the Next- gen Asymmetrical Navigable Rocket (NANR) The fact that the thrust is pointed at the CoM and the CoM falls toward the engine as the fuel drains makes this rocket controllable... Barely. Roll control is achieved with small yaw inputs. HTHs, -Slashy

The trick I use when designing shuttles: Not only do I aim the thrust at the CoM, but I also juggle the ET's flow priority so that the CoM moves toward the engines as the tanks drain. This is why the engines need to be well- below the main tank instead of next to it. For control... handling is a bit wonky. Yaw and roll inputs basically swap and reverse. Best, -Slashy

IIRC, the Titan used with Gemini ran hypergolics, not kerolox. I'll double check... *EDIT* Yeah, it ran aerozine/ nitrogen tetroxide. The Bobcat should have a yellowish flame with orangish smoke. The Mastodon should have an orange flame with black smoke. Best, -Slashy

RoverDude, Thanks! While you're at it, You should check out @RuBisCO's fix here: He has corrections for the tank masses and also the fuel/ oxidizer ratios. Best, -Slashy

RuBisCO, Could you please add this info to the bug tracker here? https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/17975 Thanks, -Slashy

Not mad; I don't use mods. If I had anything to complain about, it'd be the bugs in the new release... but I'm not mad about that either. Best, -Slashy

@Raycrate, Yeah, the empty tank mass is incorrect for the dumpling. It's listed in the config file as .3375, should be .01375. While checking into this, I also noticed that the doughnut is way too light. Listed as .01, should be .0375. I've reported it in the bug tracker. Best, -Slashy

End of day one. 4 nodes left to go. The Mun probes should collect enough science to close it out, but I want to collect as much Kerbin science as I can in the meantime just to be sure. Lots of flying while I still have sunlight, and I have to design a long- range science plane to reach the poles and Badlands. Best, -Slashy
