Hi all I habe been doing a small realism upgrade (no, not the complete realism overhaul) of my kerbosmos and as a part of it installed RealChute. I _do_ like it very much, save for one issue: I can't get the chutes to arm on staging. However I set the autoArm flag (via the settings GUI or by directly editing RealChute_Settings.cfg), I always have to hit the spacebar twice (stage, then arm) or to deploy manually by right-clicking the chute. No big deal if the chutes are in the last stage, but quite cumbersome if I want to stage other events after chute deployment, e.g separating the science package from the capsule. Am I missing something or is this the intended behaviour? Thanks for Help! Madalone Environment: Mac OSX 10.9.5 KSP 0.25.0 RealChute 1.2.5.2 I made a simple test vehicle (Mk1 Pod, Mk16 Chute in stage 0, FL-T200 tank, LV-T45 engine in stage 1) and let it fly. Hit space (11:09:17) -> takeoff; hit space (11:11:22) -> nothing; hit space (11:11:28) -> chute arms and deploys.

That was it - obviously I had involuntarily set trim (didn't know what that does until now. Now I do...) Some things are so easily found once you know what you are lookin for. ;-) Thanks all for your help!

Hi all I have a strange phenomenon: Im coasting from Kerbal to Mun with a simple ship. As soon as I disengage SAS, the craft starts rolling ever faster... What could be the cause? PS: I have the MechJeb-mod, could the Attitude Adjustment do something funny? Thanks for your Help! Madalone
