  1. Ok. Thank you for answer, I'm still relatively new to the game. I guess the thread is closed.
  2. I use both offset and rotate very frequently. They allow for so much fine-tuning, especially in airplane construction.
  3. I was trying to land a MKI capsule on Kerbin from an orbital part test contract. I have lowered my periapsis to 50k and let the atmosphere bring me down. When I deployed my parachutes on 7k altitude I pressed the timewarp button and set it to 4x. Few moments later this happened: Can somebody tell me ... happened?
  4. Well, there is a mod for this. It does work with 0.90, I can confirm that myself. You can make any .wav, .ogg or .mp3 you want to play alongside the normal stuff. The problem is it can eat a surprising additional amount of memory, so if you are heavily modded you might not be able to pack in a lot more music. Maybe that's also the reason why stock OST is somewhat short.
  5. The best thing for me is the feeling of accomplishment when you do something. Every step forward I take makes me hyped for the next one.
  6. I have succefully got a satellite into Mun's orbit. Now I am preparing for manned Mun mission. In the meantime I have made my first plane for land survey contracts, but it uncontrollable and has very short range. I need to l2p so hard.
  7. I have succesfully put a satellite in a prograde equatorial Kerbin orbit. My solution for my earlier problems with DeltaV was attaching 6 more SRBs to the first stage, but I think I should build something more cost efficient. I can either make the 1st stage recoverable or research fuel lines so I can develop my space burn stage better. I have a contract for Mun satellite, so I think I should go with the 2nd option.
  8. I have learned of the game from watching Danny2462's silly stuff. I have decided I want the game after watching Sean Plott (Day9) absolutely fail at making an orbital rocket in a hilarious way. There's the link:
  9. I have launched 2 very barebones satellites into Kerbin orbit. I need to increase Delta V of my launch stage becouse 300km orbit is as high as I can reasonably go to and my contractors want me to go higher. Other than that I have grabbed some quick cash from part tests on suborbital trajectories.
  10. I wish to introduce myself by sharing details of my first succesful rendezvous performed in Kerbin's orbit on the third day since buying the game. C7 Aerospace has managed to leave Adfry to die in the orbit. I had taken the contract as soon as it has appeared and after a few quick suborbital cash grabs I upgraded my tracking station and researched RCS. Launch of Orbiter ORV "Adfry" failed becouse there wasn't enough fuel for intersection burn was succesful becouse of 2 additional SRBs I have preemptively attached to the vessel. After some orbital manouvering, I had an encounter with an intersection of 2000 meters. Jebediah started burning retrograde 2 minutes to the closest separation node. He missed Adry becouse he forgot to burn on target | He missed Adfry becouse he burned anti-target He positioned himself 1800m away from him, which Adrfy had to traverse himself. He was going home, kerbals all around Kerbin were crying from happiness in front of their TVs and radios, papers were flying everywhere in mission control, C7 Aerospace has evaded lawsuit etc etc. Damm, Adfry agreed to do some EVA science for me. Amounts of win have skyrocketed in the sector. The time for retrograde burn home has come. ORV is an extremely safe vehicle - it has 2 parachutes, RCS and basic SAS. It is completely not built by desrowly greedy miser who didn't stage a decoupler for liquid fuel tanks. The vehicle would land in the mountains west of the desert. The view was increadible. Crew was really enthusiastic. They have not only made something which hasn't been done ever before - they lived to tell about it. The rocket has tipped over on landing and they blew up. How shocked and frightened they had to be when the landing turned out to be on a brink of catastrophic failure when the main fuel tank has exploded on contact with the surface. Thankfully the command pods and the monopropellant tank #worth! have survived. Seriously, this game is awesome. I can't remember the last time I have felt sense of accomplishment this big, even in Dark Souls.
