Hi Thanks for all the great answers. I see I still have lots to learn, but that's why I love this game. I have been trying some of suggestions and find I'm in much better control of my orbits. //Henrik

Hi I have been playing this for some months now and been traveling around the solar system a bit. But I have one problem that pops up every now and again. When I leave Kerbin for orbit I usually go straight up until about 20 000 m , turn the rocket east and dip the nose to about 45 degrees and go until my apoapsisis about 70 000 m, then I turn the engine of and wait for apoapsisthen I dip the nose until 90 degrees and burn until orbit. This works well most times I think with a reasonably elliptical orbit, but sometimes, when I feel the ride until 70 000 m has gone ok, the orbit is very un-circular. Could someone give my some insight into what I'm likely doing wrong? Any help is appreciated //Henrik

I put the test parachute outside instead on in the the service bay and now it worked.

Hi Thanks for the answer, I have been having the contract window open and making sure I meet all requirements before deploying. But I guess I will try again .

I'm trying to complete the "test mk16 parshute over Kerbin" mission. To do this I need to activated the parachute at 24000 - 33000 meters. But when I do this, nothing happens. The highest I can set the parashute to open is 5000 meters and even if I manually open it higher, the game says its not safe. How to I get passed this? I'm playing in career mode. Thankful for any help Henrik
