    The default behavior of the launch clamps should be to not pump fuel. I've just spent a couple of hours trying to figure out why I can't launch my station segment that contains a couple empty tanks. Turns out they got filled up at launch via the clamps. I just realized it is probably possible to generate money with this in career mode: launch an empty tank with a launch clamp attached, and recover it when it's full???

    Brakes definetely, on my spaceplanes I do want to toggle certain gear pairs depending on the situation: disable brakes in the front for airstrip landing, but use all brakes while standing still. Gears probably as well for more complicated lander/base designs. Maybe I'm just one of few people that actually use the preset groups for a lot of stuff and I'd want to change them just as much as any other control group after leaving the editor.

    Maybe I'm stupid, but how do I change the preset action groups: gears, brakes, lights, abort etc.?

    Don't tell me what I can put on my rover j/k I love you

    Ok... so I need to move it further to the front so it sticks out beyond the headlights?

    Where exactly is the hatch on the little pod? I built this (needs additional mods) rover, had my guy jump in and then he was stuck because the exit hatch was obstructed (apparently)

    There is an adapter plate that converts between the two: HX1 "structural nodes" are cubic (like width of HX1), slap two of those adapter plates on opposite sites and it has the same format as a HX1 tank/hangar

    That is KSP Interstellar, not B9. But here is the fix anyway: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/63109-0-23-Modulefixer?p=1259754&viewfull=1#post1259754

    That'd be awesome

    Personally I liked the progression: Basic Jet ~ Mach 1 --> B9 Turbojet with afterburner ~ Mach 3 --> Stock (C7) Turbojet with RAM intake ~ Mach 5 --> SABRE/RAPIER for orbital speeds and beyond Yes, the stock turbojet is labeled "turbojet", but it does come bundled with a RAM air intake, so I always imagined it being more of a ramjet. But now we have 2 turbojets that are quite similar and then nothing until SABRE/RAPIER.

    I don't care too much about TWR, my planes usually take off with just over .3 TWR, but I want to go faster than Mach 3 on atmospheric engines

    In my opinion the stock turbojets got nerfed too hard. They're one tech level above the B9 ones and inferior in most ways except for gimbal, which is not all that useful on planes. I feel like I'm being forced to use the mod parts.

    I'm having huge problems with the MFT config. Apparently it's adding 3 tons of dry mass for every ton of fuel that I put into a part. This is totally breaking my S2 plane that used to be well balanced because now the tail section weighs in at 60 tons. Did you maybe confuse the "mass" and "basemass" variables?

    I'm not very good at image processing, but can't you get the slope from a height map by using a high-pass filter?
