Hello, I am trying to to launch a vessel to go to all Planets, and other objects, and want to know how much fuel I would require. Flight path: Kerbin > Mun > Minmus > Duna > Dres > Jool > Eeloo. I can go Kerbin Mun Minmus Duna directky but when I arrive at Duna I have to pause for a few years. Then to Dres and maybe pause. Then to Jool and Eeloo.

Hello, I am trying to make a probe to fly from Kerbin to Duna and all the rest of the outer planets. The closest I could find to a forum of this was a challenge: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/37974-Optimal-gravity-assisted-grand-tour-%28AKA-Voyager-like-mission%29-challenge?highlight=Voyager+flight+path - However it was not sufficient. Gameplay question: Is it possible to do a Voyager flight path - http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/images/voy_traj.jpg (or similar) - with as Little as a ion Engine, Voyager didn't use much more it relied on gravitational propulsion. Tutorial question: A date when it would be at all possible would be appreciated and/or even a finished flight path.

Didn't work. I guess I have to use '.' to speed up time. Also Red Iron Crown, nekogod, I just have to press '.' - Without the single quotation marks.

But now the game has been tweaked to be much more sensitive, that is based upon your answer. Therefore a minimal thrust might work, I'm off to test that theory.

Weird, I could go full up on the warp on a alpha version 23 or something.

Hello, I can't use the warp function to speed up time when using a ion Engine.. it's quite ridiculous that Squad did not make warp function with ion Engines, It worked Before the 1.0's but not not. Am I to understand that I am going to sit and wait 20 minutes for my flight path to be made? Or is there a way to warp with Ion Engines?

Perphas I should have offered more details. Do you need to research the Farings first? If so.. I cannot find a aerodynamic IIRC.

Hello, where are the fairings? I've looked and cannot find them.

Megadeath, there is no language barrier here, unless you do not understand English. Let me reiterate: ''Hello, the current time-frame of the Kerbal nation(s) - I would like to know. Man began their time-travel in 1957. I would just like to know, to get a sense of the time, what year it is in Kerbal''. - In this I ask: What year is in in Kerbal, in Earth it is 2015 (by Christian calender, but I assume the KSP developers didn't consider to input different time Schedules). In my rephrasal I sad: ''Perhaps I should rephrase my question: Day 1, Year 1 is how long the Kerbal Space Program has been, correct? What time, in Kerbal time measuring units, are the Kerbals in? 4249? What time is the Kerbal time, from the question above, converted into Human time? 1950?'' - This all elaborate the first question. 'Day 1, Year 1' Count is to know how long the Kerbal Space Program has been operational, not the general time Count of the Kerbals. In Kerbal time measuring units (normal Kerbal Clock); what is the Kerbal time? 1256? Year 1? 1958? If we where to convert the time we recive from the question above this one; what time is the Kerbal population in Earth standards? Kerbal time (year 1, day 1) > Eart time (1958) ? Star Trek doesn't take Place in our Universe yet we can convert star-dates to Earth time. And in the end the fault for this dilemma is the developers at Squad, KSP creators.' Not sorry for the long post, as you didn't understand the smaller counter-parts.

Your own argument disproves itself: When they decided to start a space program (when you make a new save game) is when they decided that they need to actually measure time in order to make calculations for spaceflight. Therefore, they invented time once it was needed. There was never any timekeeping or calendars before year 0 day 1.'' - So they didn't need to keep time when to awake and go to work and build the KSP? So they didn't need time to know when they had a date? So the Kerbals didn't need time Before the KSP (Rhetorical)? They did, otherwise there wouldn't be a KSP.

Pecan, Just because the KSP gets latters at a later Point doesn't mean they don't exists. Nasa's first years didn't utilize a Thermal Protection System, that doesn't mean we didn't have the Technology. - - - Updated - - - Twenting, yeah that's what I am saying but the time of the Kerbals is not irrelevant. If so then you knowing different time zones are irrelevant. - - - Updated - - - Evantis, that theory is not backed up by ''The fact that Jeb still smiles if I leave him on Eve for a couple centuries'' . - That just suggest that he is insane, hence the 'BadS' Trait. Or bad developing. And you can 'prefer' all you want; that does not mean anything, such as the Kerbals perception of time. It is what it is, preferals does not change that. - - - Updated - - - Cantab, yeah I said that. - - - Updated - - - I suppose the time-frame will never be known. Only how long the KSP has been operational.

I still do not consider this question answere. Pecan answer suggest that: * When the Kerbals achieved space travel they reset the time, like Humans with the 'birth of christ'. But that doesn't say what their time is. * Or the link Nookos provided which say ''Day 1 Year 1 is Jan 1 1951 at midnight GMT'' - Kerbal time > Earth time. Perhaps I should rephrase my question: Day 1, Year 1 is how long the Kerbal Space Program has been, correct? What time, in Kerbal time measuring units, are the Kerbals in? 4249? What time is the Kerbal time, from the question above, converted into Human time? 1950?

Hello, the current time-frame of the Kerbal nation(s) - I would like to know. Man began their time-travel in 1957. I would just like to know, to get a sense of the time, what year it is in Kerbal.

What I've learned is if it's a rare bug: you only get it once. (But maybe it's because it's a human error )

If I manage to get that kind of orbit would it be moved to the centre of the planet after a while? As that might explain why my Lunar orbit changed (or it was a error on my part).

I'm working with six different probes at the same time (was 8 but I docked two and lost control over both for some reason), thought I had Eve nailed down and was working on Duna.. guess it's the opposite... This is what I mean: http://i59.tinypic.com/f5dpnp.png" EDIT: NVM, apparently it's impossible(?), seems weird though.. but I don't know much about astrophysics so I won't argue with orbit physics. The reason I thought It was possible was because I got that orbit for my moon probe, though it's changed not to a normal middle orbit. I don't think it was a error on my part as I always even my orbit's out, this one wasn't completely even.

Hi, I don't know how to smooth out this orbit.. and the maneuver nodes aren't helping. http://i58.tinypic.com/16gmzcj.png" EDIT: I don't want the orbit to be level in the middle of the planet but I want it leveled on the higher part of Duna.

I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. And I actually did quote (almost) all: 'debri'. But I guess it's not so strange as there are times when I start my KSP up and all the names and words are missing a few letters, example; S art Ga e - Start Game.

eddiew, which buttons? these: , + . ? 'Cause they don't work for me...

To bad I can't make a space station until 10 years into the game.

Full title: How to make the game-time seem realistic(how to speed up game)? - just incase the forum thought it was to long. Hi, I'm trying play realistic in sandbox but launching a satellite into orbit then a few minutes after, a shuttle and a few hours after, a spacestation (game time) isn't realistic so is there anyway I can speed up the in-game time FAST? the regular MET clock's acceleration function isn't super fast. I'd rather avoid mods and editing the save but will if I have to.

I want that honor to be Jebediah's. - - - Updated - - - Nathair, The game says ''debri''.

I think I'll try of those, thanks. Now I if I only can figure out how to set this thread as 'answered' I'd be halfway on to the moon.. virtually. - - - Updated - - - Not easy, the bottom of the spacecraft, the debri part, needs to stay on the moon as a beacon to as where I will launch the next mission.

Alshain, Don't have access to the computer right now. I'm asking how do I activate the mini radial-decoupler when the game classified it as 'debri'? - - - Updated - - - KerBlam, can't change to something that doesn't have a control interface and it classified as debri.
