Hey all, installed this mod and have been playing for the last few weeks. Enjoying the new challenge very much! BUT - I get the feeling that I am playing with RSS parameters in place or something. In reading these forums I am seeing that it should take about 5000 deltaV to get to LEO, but for me it seems to take about 9000 deltaV to get into LEO. Granted, my ships and launch trajectories may not be the most efficient, but I guess what I'm saying is that I feel like this is harder than it is supposed to be! Is there a way to confirm that I am playing with HSS settings?
