Try these configs:

When I try to download these, I get a "File does not exist." Could you repost?

I am currently trying to build a Mun base, but with the legs sinking in it's pointles... Any hints and fixes welcome!

 

[RealChute: Auto-arm on staging doesn't work]

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!

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. Log extract:

[Strange involuntary roll]

Pics?

That said, I'd try hitting alt+x on the chance that it's a trim issue.

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!

[Strange involuntary roll]

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!
