Once again you come to my rescue!! Due I seriously owe you a beer!! If you are ever in Wiesbaden you better look me up lol. @JPLRepo found it. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Yeah, I would like my astronauts to be wearing their helmets during launch and landing as well. Not just on EVA.

I have searched google and such and kind find this mod. I remember seeing a mod that recorded your flights and you could then run the mod and watch your flight as it had been recorded. I can not remember the name of the mod and my search came up with nothing. If I remember correctly it was designed to where you could run this mod and fly along side a "ghost" of the other flight. Anyone know what I am talking about?

I started on 1.3 and played that until last week and upgraded to 1.7.2. I love the learning curve. I don't do tutorials because I like to figure things out on my own. Basically I am once again roughly 1950's NASA trying to figure out how to fly rockets safely. I have been collecting science while experimenting with different rocket types. I have yet to man a rocket until I can get a sub orbital flight to succeed safely.

Is the sun white outside of the atmosphere like it is in real life? I never thought to pay attention to that before. I know that it still wouldn't be a white dwarf just sayin lol.

Ok. Thank you so much my friend!!

I Dl'ed Stock Visual Enhancements 1.0.7. I am grabbing the config at the moment. Do I keep what I already dl'ed or do I need to delete it and just use the config? Sorry for all the questions but I am new to all of this.

Hello. I just downloaded this mod and nothing is happening in game. There isn't much info on the readme other than where to put the files. I am on 1.7.1

Thanks for the advice!! I appreciate your help as well.

I am sure I did something wrong but I am looking for the real plumes mod. I searched for it but couldn't find it. I may have the name wrong. It's the mod that makes the plumes expand as the air gets less dense. I was also wondering if there is a mod (it may be the one I am looking for) where SRB's don't just burn out but still flame up after they are no longer in use. Similar to how the Space Shuttle SRB's did after they were jettisoned. Thanks again. I am sure that is the last of my questions for a couple of days.

Ohhhh!!. Ok. Thank you for your help. What I meant by "regular site" was when I went through the help section it was exactly as the web site and I couldn't do a live chat. Sorry if I bugged you. I am not a regular steam user and I am unfamiliar with how it works. Thanks again for your help.

That didn't work. It's pretty much the same as the regular website. I can't figure out how to enter my code so I don't have to pay for the game again. I am leaning towards doing that though because it seems like it's going to be a PITA.

I didn't think about that. I will give it a shot. Thank you!

Hello, I just bought a new computer and I am trying to download KSP on this computer. I bought the game from the old website (I guess it was the squad page I can't remember, it's been a while) anyway, I have a steam code to DL the game but I can't figure out how to use it to get the game on my new computer. Full disclosure however, I got the code to upgrade the game on steam. I don't know if that will work for what I am trying to do here. Feel free to move this topic if it is in the wrong place.

They usually throttled back around 30-35 seconds. Shortly after the roll was complete. They throttled back in a three step fashion to about 65% and throttled back up around 70 seconds.

Oops!! I apologize!! I'm still learning this site. I didn't realize this should have gone there. Thank you.

I actually ran out of fuel after my encounter with Duna and had to use RCS to actually achieve my orbit and just by dumb luck I acquired an encounter with Ike as I was breaking (which took forever by the way) but didn't have enough RCS to achieve an orbit and ended up slamming into Duna. I consider it a successful failure because I did get some science and it was my first attempt at an interplanetary transfer.

So I accepted a contract to explore Ike. I built my rocket and loaded it with science experiments. I never revert unless the game glitches out. Anyway, I launch my rocket and when I deployed the fairings once I get into space I noticed the camera would shake like crazy, I go to map mode and I can see my AP and PE but no orbital track and if I rotate my camera the AP and PE were waaaaaay south of Kerbin. I couldn't time warp because it thought my craft was landed. It was weird. So I revert my flight and it happens again. Revert, same problem. Revert, same problem only this time I notice the bottom ring of the fairings was still stuck on my rocket. It was hung up on my landing legs!! Revert again, get above the atmosphere, lower my landing legs, deploy the fairings and everything is good!!! I create a maneuver to get to Duna, then I create another maneuver to get an encounter with Ike. I don't have enough fuel to get into orbit of Ike so I satisfy one requirement of my contract (science date from space around Ike) and my trajectory has me crashing into Duna. I was able to transfer quite a bit of science data as I fell towards Duna. The last date was received by my probe three seconds before slamming into the planet Duna. It didn't quite go as planned but I learned so much from this one mission. I love this game!!

I thought you could do it from the inside. I have only done it once. I was experimenting with a jet and as I was cruising around I clicked on the red handle (wondering what would happen) and I get ejected.

I did too ha ha ha!!!!

Good point. What about random snap shots periodically when there was comms? Not trying to be argumentative or anything. I'm just so curious about this stuff and it (in my opinion) seems like such a waste.

I do that when I watch Scott Manley videos from time to time. I am disappointed they didn't put solar panels on there to keep the cameras alive. I would be interested to know what that car looks like after a few years.

I can't remember if I posted on this thread before or not but I will re-tell my story. It was my first ever attempt to land on the moon. I had no idea what I was doing. Surprisingly I did pretty well. I came in with to much vertical velocity and I didn't realize my engine bell extended bellow my landing legs. I came in to land and my engine exploded and tipped my lander over. My astronaut survived surprisingly!! Rescue mission time. I could not recreate my relative success from the first attempt and killed 5 kerbals trying to rescue him. So I decided to send up an unmanned rescue craft... and landed right on top of him killing him.

I'm sorry but this made me laugh so hard lol. I love the "sole purpose off two" items then you listed three things. I'm not being a grammar pedant or nothing but I laughed out loud. Plus I'm pretty drunk ha ha ha!! I wish I could actually contribute to this conversation though lol.

I am trying to update KSP through the launcher but it keeps telling me my username and password are not correct. I updated my password and it's still doing it. I remember seeing something in a post yesterday about something being broken from Squad but I don't remember where I saw it or what it is that's broken. If I am unable to update via the launcher how can I do it? Disregard. Two seconds of research and I found my answer.
