I really don't like capsed text in KER GUI. Can it be switched to normal case somehow?

AlamoVampire: Autopilot means sort of robot that directly controls the craft. MJ includes autopilot features of course but it also has plenty of well-designed non-autopilot features for planning, predicting etc. "tell it what you want done, and it does it" point of view is quite limited.

MJ is a great thing and I'm not agree with "autopilot" definition. It's a complex toolkit for measurements, calculation, planning. Also it's made quite professionally.

Maybe someone find this useful... What it does: Backs up existing persistent.sfs or quicksave.sfs before game rewrites them. Backs up previous versions of craft files when saving crafts. Deletes old backups after reaching specified amount of them (you can specify -1 to prevent deleting). Optionally changes screenshot filenames from screenshot###.png to ksp_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.png to keep them always sorted. How to use: You need to launch game through this tool. Specify path to KSP.exe and press "Run KSP". All patches will be done in memory, nothing will be changed in game folder (except written backups). Note that tool doesn't depends of game code and so can work with any version of game while file names remains the same. Tool can be also started with /run command line key to skip GUI and start game immediately. Backed up quicksave or persistent file can be restored simply with Alt-F9. Previous versions of craft files saved as craftname_timestamp.bak. You should manually rename them to craftname.craft to restore. Limitations: Windows only (tested under Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit). 32-bit version of game only.

I think maybe sloped surface and legs damaged during landing caused parts of craft to shift relative to each other so ladders become misaligned slightly. I had similar situation with my Eve lander, legs repairing helped in that case.

Nicely done! 27 years before Jool arrival. That's long way

That's my basic entry (i.e. one lap). Maybe will try for more somewhen later... Craft: ranger-2 Route: polar (south) Spd: 800-900 m/s (max 1105 m/s) Alt: 20-21km (max 22.8 km) Time: 1h 18m

"Escorting" - - - Updated - - - Cool! Would be nice to see more

Yet another one. 13.6 tons, stock.

That's my simple contribution. Craft: mini buzzer orbital, weight: 10.0 tons.

Stable x64? IVAs? What 1.0?

Remember that your craft weighs 430 t * 1.7 = 730 tw on Eve. So if you using legs, put about 140 of them. Slowing down isn't big deal imho, legs can absorb speed, static weight is more important. I did not succeed to build custom legs that not walks on slope. For my 1600 t lander I found ideally flat area and precisely landed with MJ's autopilot.

You can use Hyperedit to test your craft right on Eve. Also if you using landing legs, do not apply more than 5 tw per large stock leg and put enough chutes to limit landing speed to 10 m/s.
