I install RP-0 from CKAN and did not get Custom Biomes, after selecting it in CKAN it seems to have fixed the biome issues.

I don't have CustomBiomes installed. I installed TechManager by hand and then used CKAN to install RP-0 and its dependencies automatically, I also installed all recommended mods. The only non-standard mods I have are Active Texture Management, Science Alert, and Kerbal Engineer (instead of Mechjeb). Should I avoid using CKAN?

I've just started RP-0 and I've been struggling a bit for science. Reading this thread I noticed that I have missed out on other biomes. I am still at the sounding rocket stage and I launch from Cape Canaveral. To keep my rockets going straight I have an initial SRB stage with TWR around 4 and then a liquid fuel stage. This works pretty well to get very high altitude but I always stay within the Highlands biome. I modified my craft to point 5 degrees east at the launch (This is the minimum rotation possible as far as I can tell). The craft goes about 100km east from the launch point, hits an apoapsis of maybe 25km but eventually tips over and lands in the water, but I never leave the Highlands biome. Am I doing something wrong with my launch? Are my biomes messed up somehow?
