  1. Hello i am on a PS4. This is a tutorial so I would assume that it would dictate fuel consumption. I do the initial burn toward the moon and it cits the engines when the timer ends. I delete my precious manuver so I can warp to the blue marker which then starts the enter moon orbit portion. I can move the throttle up and down no problem, the engines simply won't come on. I can easily turn the ship after I pick a manuver that makes sense to me. I know something isn't right because the "next" won't light up, but for the life of me, the instructions are so poor, I have no idea what is needed. The bar on the right is bright green so I assume I have fuel and there was no instruction to drop a stage. I have reloaded the simulation probably 10 times. Same result each time. Thanks!
  2. I'm having a real hard time with manuvers. I have made it to the moon, but my peri apsis was inside. So I adjusted my radial to have my periapsis at 50km above. I get to that location, point the ship at the cross hairs, and when I power up the engines. Nothing. I'm utterly confused how you perform a manuver when you can't perform a burn. I find the instructions to be very poor for someone trying to learn this from scratch. There should be some sort of guideline to show you the required orbit and you need to match it. Something, but instead you're left clueless until the "next" magically lights up im incredibly frustrated if you can't tell. Been on this tutorial for 3 hours. Help?
  3. When you go to Settings, on the very first screen you see, its the bottom light. Turn that off and motion sensor is turned off.
  4. That's so weird, I played 2 hours, then another 1 hour, never crashed once
  5. I can see some of the frustration. I downloaded this myself yesterday and went right for the tutorials. One thing I didn't understand was their default use of the motion sensor in the controller, I think that actually was MORE clumsy than anything since I move my wrists around while I play. However, being able to shut that off was huge. Another thing I noticed is that without a fully detailed "controller scheme", its difficult to know how everything works. I checked multiple times, but couldn't find anything that told me by clicking L3, that it would go between "mouse pointer" and "controls". Finding this out solved so many frustrations, but really, this is something that should have been detailed from the beginning. Another issue like that is the cycling view. Its confusing when you hold L1, and hit "D-pad DOWN" and that shuts your engines off, but if you just CLICK L1 and Dpad DOWN, it cycles your focus. Twice I had to quit a tutorial because I couldn't understand why I kept getting focused on the sun until I figured this out. A tutorial should exist JUST to tell you how the buttons work, otherwise you're stuck doing trial and error until you figure it out. Now, its not as frustrating when you're in tutorials to figure that out, but I can see the massive frustration if you attempt to go right into the game and figure it out as you go. The other issue I've personally had was understanding why there is no tutorial for re-entry or how to connect orbits. In the get to orbit mission, you complete that, and then it says you can send the capsle back to earth if you wish. How about actually showing me how to do that? I attempted to do that and actually skipped right back out into space after briefly starting re-entry. For Orbits (yes, I did the orbit tutorial prior), I am doing the Mun Part 1, and it says that I should align the orbits. I spent 20 minutes adjusting manuvers trying to do what it wants me to do, and couldnt' do it. The programmers have to give more detail on what they want. Overall I think its a great game, and once you figure out how to do everything, I'm sure it will be even better, but really...PLEASE add more detail to the tutorials. Finally, I have no problem with moving the mouse pointer with a joystick. If I want to click something, quick L3, do what I need, then L3 and back under control. Maybe its because I play PS4 and rarely touch a computer, but I don't think its that bad personally. One question I do have though, for the visual settings, I believe it is UI Interface that is turned down entirely, what is that for?
  6. I have been waiting to finally get this for my PS4, but I am yet to see anyone give a console review of this. I tweeted IGN about it yesterday, but didn't get anything back. I see PSN says that they have 11 5STAR reviews, but no actual comments.
