I built a rover with an external command seat, when i board it i try to move forward with w and it moves the weels but also tries to rotate forward, very unhelpful on minmus, any suggestions?

since updating im coming up with missing part errors, US.cHub.Quadcore and some others, any ideas?

When i put the standard elevon onto a swept wing the controls are reversed when i go to launch, only for control surfaces mounted on the wings. The straight wing segment worked as usual, using the tail fin on the rear section controls as normal. Any ideas?

flight"]kerbal flight indicators seems to be working. havent had a problem with it yet

thanks, found it just before i checked back. appreciate the replies. Im in science mode, but thanks for the heads up on the career mode.

Are they fixed fins? or the maneuver ones like the avb winglet? i had the same problem on a smaller ship i founs that once i ditched my SRB's the gimbal on my liquid engine and the static fins were enough to keep me upright, with that many srbs i think youll need advanced fins or even fairings

Im sure ill kick myself for not spotting it myself btu i cant seem to find how to warp to maneuver. Anyone know how?

My guess is no fins/aero control surfaces, reaction wheels just dont cut it like they used to in atmosphere.

dont know why it worked, but heres what i did, i looked in the ckan directory, opened the guiconfig.xml and change the look for update on start from true to false, saved, started right up. just got a new pc, win7, went to load ckan and got this .net error ************** Exception Text ************** System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. at

---------------------------------------- any ideas?

Thanks to all the suggestions, I think I have it. I pretty much followed Tex_NL's example with an additional turbojet in the center position. Total mass is at 23,945k, I followed an 80° ascent to 10k, level out to 20° til 30k then just followed the velocity vector until i got my desired ap height. was left with about 940 dV which is more than enough to meet up with my station at 300k orbit with plenty of emergency fuel. I really appreciate all the quick response from everyone. Thanks again EDIT: Went back and tidied up the fuel lines and added struts, also added another small fuel tank clipped into the center body, forgot a pair of up facing rcs ports but it still docked smooth as can be with 400+ dV to spare. New mass is at 24,588kg with a TWR of 1.25

I am trying(and currently failing) to design a SSTO plane to fit my needs. Im trying to make a plane that includes the mk2 cockpit, an mk2 crew cabin and preferably an inline docking port. I'm trying to keep the total craft weight at under 25T and have about 1k dV after reaching orbit. Ive tried rapiers, turbojets, aerospikes in any number of groupings and no luck. I have in the past made several SSTO's but i just cant seem to break out of 75k orbit with just enough to return. Any suggestions or designs would be a great help. edit: using stock aero, as for parts only major part mods im running are KW rocketry, KAS, and procedural tanks
