  1. Moved from Tech Support as I think this is gameplay related.

    "Up/down" gets inverted when the axis of rotation of the control surface crosses the center-line of the craft in front of the CoM.

    Which is very common when the control surface is on wings that are swept back. Try mounting the control surface more perpendicular to the center-line.

    Or it could be that your craft is controlled from a different cockpit or probe core than you're expecting?

    It has been a while since I've tweaked my user profile, and since then the forum software has been updated or changed (it looks more modern now anyways). I still have an outdated Twitter handle on my profile under contact methods, is there a way to change or remove it? I looked under account settings and edit profile, but couldn't find it.

    Should be possible to edit it now.

    How does the Who's Online area work? Like is it in alphabetic order? Rep points? Because it seems that everybody's name is just jumbled in there.

    Looks to me like it is based on time. When I mouse over the names, Last Visited: seems to increase.

    At least generally. Some of the Last Visited times will be reset, if people do something after the list was rendered in your browser.

    Can you see who reported a post?

    Yes. Reporting is in essense identical to quoting a post and sending it to a common message box that all moderators get notified about.

    What happens after that is also the same as if you quoted a post and mailed it to the moderators. We read your explanation for why you reported the post and then consider if any action should be taken.

    Reports have no intrinsic negative effect on either the Reporter or Reportee. It is just a much more convenient interface for the person reporting and for moderators to discuss a post and whether to take action.

    Many, if not most, reports are mundane things like "Can you move my topic. I posted in the wrong sub-forum" or "This post belongs in Console support, not PC support".

    This article claims that since the crew Dragon will be splashing down it won't be able to be reused. That doesn't seem right to me as they reused a Dragon 1 after a splashdown. Also no sources or quotes from SpaceX. Anybody have info on the current reuse plan for D2?

    My guess is:

    • Dragon was designed to splashdown and be reusable from the get go.
    • D2 was originally designed to land propulsively.
      • Maybe the design is only intended to handle splashdown in an emergency and it would add too much mass to enable reusability after a splashdown?
  6. Moved from Add-on Releases, since the title was no longer relevant in that forum.

    Unfortunately, deleting is not allowed because it allowed miscreants to abuse other users and then remove the evidence.

    Use the Report post in the top left of a post, if you want it removed, moved or a moderators to take a look at it for some reason. If your request is reasonable and not against the forum guidelines, then there's a good chance we'll do it.
