Hi, this is likely a pretty dumb qustion, but from reading the instructions I wasn't clear on just how do I exchange a texture for a planet or moon? I assume I need to edit the .cfg and put the file in some folder? Any pointers on what to do to, say, get a different texture loaded for Duna? Thanks!

Thanks for the great responses. Between all these tips I managed my first landing :-) I didn't have to change the design. Main tips that helped me was the flags for alignment and more closely watching vertical velocity. Funny thing is after reading all of the tips I managed the landing on the next try :-) Thanks!

I've been playing with rockets so far. Landed on the Mün and Minmus, docked and rendezvous'd, but am only now trying airplanes. Found the post below on airplane design which has been incredibly helpful, but I struggle with landing. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/52080-Basic-Aircraft-Design-Explained-Simply-With-Pictures I haven't played a flight sim in forever and don't have a joystick (not sure if that matters). I'm using precision controls and SAS to fly. Lifting off and flying works. No problem. The tips above have helped me build an airplane that handles ok. Yet I always fail horribly at landing the thing. Have tried 10+ times and it seems I always come in too fast. Plane bounces back up and then is out of kilter, loses a wing and then crashes. try to reduce my speed to below 100 m/s, but I seem to be dropping too quickly. I've watched a couple of tutorial videos, but somehow am not getting the hang of it. Any pointers on what I might be missing? Thanks!

Hi KSP world, thought I'd come out and introduce myself. Been playing KSP since whatever the version before 0.9 was. Met a Swedish guy on a plane to cape town and he showed me KSP. Looked interesting. Tried it. Hooked. I've only been able to spend 60h with it over the last year or so, but with the limited time I have that means all I'm playing when I have a chance to play at all is KSP. Started two career games. First one pre 0.9 got me to the Mün and Minmus. My current career in 1.0.2 got me to these two places plus taught me how to rendezvous, dock and do satellite contracts. Great fun so far. Currently playing around with airplanes and gearing up to launch my first space station. Been lurking for a while, reading posts, watching videos and scouring the Wiki. Very helpful community. Thanks to everyone who has put the effort in so far! Oh, and 39 yo, 2 kids, limited time ;-)
