Ok, short and sweet this one. Recently in the forum ive noticed many people moaning that "this update or that update broke my game" etc. Also, too many are complaining that "KSP isnt as much fun nowadays" and so on. For starters, this game has only got better imo with the updates and as for the modders, give them a chance! They get the mods updated as and when they can.....I spoke to NathanKell yesterday about when the RSS 1.0.4 and RO mod will be updated and he said soon.....good enough for me. My point is, stop moaning about KSP and either play it or leave it alone. If its never updated again, so what? Im happy with the game, in fact more than happy. Maybe a chill pill mod might be the answer. Moderators, remove this if you like but im just disheartened by some of the comments ive been reading. Mini rant over

Try the Docking Port Alignment mod. Its great. I can dock manually without mods however the DPA mod makes it far quicker

Correct, it does not however Nathan has told me it will be updated soon

NathanKell your a legend, you know that right?

Is this mod available yet? Looking in CKAN, cant see it, also RO missing...any ETA? I do understand it takes time however im wondering when(ish) lol

I managed to achieve my first orbit in RSS with FAR, RO, etc, etc. Not a massive accomplishment I know but man is Earth BIG compared to Kerbin! Today, im off to the Moon to have a stroll in the Sea Of Tranquillity

What was this marvellous trick?

Thankyou so much! Ive only been on RSS and RO for a few hours and I didnt know this. You Sir are a legend! Ive just tried what you suggested and yes it works, even though my rocket exploded in mid air lol! This has made a completely different game with your answer......thankyou so much

For example, I put the Mk1 pod with the FASA fuel tank and the Merlin family rocket engine yet I get no dV at all?

Hi all. OK, ive got RSS, RO, FAR etc but I have a problem in building a rocket..... I have mechjeb showing me the dV of each stage yet no matter what I try to build I cant get any dV into my craft? Am I doing something wrong? #sofrustratds

Hi all. Ive downloaded RSS and RO using CKAN however I load up to the point where you see "Loading" in the bottom right hand corner then it crashes back to my desktop with the following error report? Any ideas as to why please? Thankyou..... Please find the error log below: https://www.dropbox.com/s/66wonwxil4ef2uy/output_log.txt?dl=0 EDIT: I solved it by installing a lower RSS texture

Excellent! Its now working and well worth the time spent installing it! Now.....to the Moon......hopefully! Thankyou once again

This may sound obvious but have you defragged your machine? I use Auslogics Disk Defrag as 1, its free and 2, its awesome! Also, I suggest using GBoost (google it). GBoost has allowed me to run the Astronomers Visual Pack. Without it, my system became slow, jerky and, well, useless....sometimes KSP wouldn't load so I know it works. Probably not the answer your looking for but it will help if only a little.

Ok thanks for replying....I didnt think it was correct either. Sorry for looking like an idiot...I usually install mods manually however moving up to RSS has made me see I need to learn more. I'm desperate to just make a Moon landing so I will retry tonight to install everything through CKAN and if successful I will let you know. If unsuccessful I'll check the thread so not to bother you too much (embarrassed face). Thankyou again

Mmmm....just been looking at CKAN. Maybe this is the way to go. Just tried it but have 1 quick question..... I chose the mods I wanted and they were downloaded into a folder called CKAN in my KSP folder as zip files. I checked my GameData folder but it was empty? Is this correct?

So in a nutshell, without: CommunityResourcePack RealFuels SolverEngines RO wont work? And thanks for replying

GHi all. Just installing the latest 1.0.2 of RO and it is stuck on loading the game at this point: FASA/Apollo/ApolloCSM/Apollo_SM_RCS/FASAApollo_SM_RCS any ideas? EDIT: reinstalled a fresh, new KSP yet same thing happened, however the point it paused was: ModuleManager: 1641 patches applied Squad/Parts/Command/mk1-2CommandPod/Mark1-2Pod I extracted this straight from a ZIP file direct to the KSP root folder. RSS runs perfectly without this...

I find that the deltaV monitor in mechjeb is better for me.....maybe worth a try?

I own a PS4 but could not imagine playing KSP on it for one minute. I feel it would be quite cumbersome to build rockets, etc on a control pad. Maybe you can plug a keyboard and mouse into it, but then all you have is a PC imo! I imagine though the game will end up an expensive buy which, imo wont sell that well as most console heads prefer action as opposed to a sim-style game (I used to be a console head myself) Still, not wanting to start another pointless war over PC V's console, I will firmly remain playing KSP on PC. Just my 2 cents worth

Just woke up and it's here! Thanks - - - Updated - - - I see now Been looking at RSS for a while now but had to get to grips with stock first. Can't wait to get in from work today and try it out! Thankyou so much!

So FASA isnt good for use in RSS then? What do you recommend? Also, RO doesnt seem compatible with 1.0.2?

Thanks I tried installing RO but I only had the 0.90 version and it was incompatible. Also, what is RF Stockalikes? Never heard of that before. Not sure why RO would make a difference? Also, I have a dv map now thankyou

I had the same thing happen to me when I installed RSS. I hadnt installed the texture needed to make it work and ended up with the same screenshot as you. Have you installed any mods that also need a texture file?

Hi all. So, I finally decided to use Real Solar System 1.0.2 and it works perfectly, however after 2 failed attempts to get into orbit and an hour reading about RSS on the net (which ive found that what ive read is way too technical for me to understand) I really could do with a couple of questions answered in very simple (idiot proof) ways. BTW, I can get to other planets, land, return etc in the Kerbin system, so not a noob to the game, just RSS. Firstly, how much fuel do I need to get into a good position to set a manoeuvre node for orbit? I know on Kerbin it takes around 4550dv but when I launch from Earth, I get to about 200k, set the node then seem to run out of fuel using all stages of my rocket which is FASA's Apollo Nova. I have at least 2600m/s still to burn before I can get into orbit? Secondly, once I understand how to get into orbit, is there a dV map for RSS? I have one for the Kerbin system but not in RSS. If not, can anyone recommend an "easy to understand" way to calculate dV needed in RSS or do I have to learn what ive tried to read before? Sorry to sound like such a noob but the difference between stock and RSS seems huge but im loving even my failed 2 launches! Any help would be awesome, however I'm going to keep trying to achieve orbit even if it takes me weeks!

By stages I mean stage 1....get to orbit, 2....get to and land at duna, 3....get home. I think I will try building in orbit as I love docking, thankyou to all that have answered.....I will look into everything you have contributed
