EEX is what you want. Do you have both dependencies installed?

Hyperedit

You get money for the World's Firsts events, like launching your first vessel. I believe they'll show up in your contract history or transmission log.

Working for me.

I'm wondering if CKAN wasn't installing the dependencies correctly. Nearly all of LGG's mods require ClickThroughBlocker and ToolbarController to be installed. Did you do this part first? I'm installing it now in 1.7.2, I'll let you know what I find out.

Native Joystick support has been broken in Linux since 1.4. AFBW is the only option I'm aware of. Did you actually try it, or are you basing that on the thread title? I seem to recall using it in versions after 1.5 and the latest post in the thread reports it works with 1.7, but with issues. I will test in 1.7.2 when I get home.

1. Attach Engine Plate to bottom of tank. Notice the node floating at the bottom. That's your decoupler. 2. Attach Engine 3. Attach Tank to the bottom node. You don't even need an actual decoupler. 4. Shroud will appear. 5. Toggle Shroud off, adjust height using the variant switcher, then toggle the Shroud back on. This is done in the PAW by right clicking on the Engine Plate. 6. While launching (NOTE: I did this by F12-ing the thing to orbit first.), just stage the engine and plate normally, as if you were using a decoupler. @space_explorer As a side note, since I can't see what's inside your fairing, what's going on with the decoupler directly underneath the fairing? Are you keeping the fairing plate in space?

That's.. what? Could you elaborate? I'm not quite following. That's not how the engine plates work. The engine plate is exactly what the OP is needing. The engine plates have a single decoupler for the bottom-most node, which is what activates the shroud. The engine nodes don't decouple.

They were, which was why there was no abort mode before booster separation. They wouldn't have aborted until after the boosters were kicked away. I was referring to them using an abort mode for an SSME failure without actually having one.

You don't have a yellow button to process the data in the lab?

You can still run the data in a lab even if you've transmitted/recovered it.

One of my student loans just got written off as part of a predatory lending suit! Yay bigger NewEgg card payment! I imagine my credit will like it as well.

Are you waiting until after your chutes open up, or are you doing it right when they deploy? You don't want to dump it until the chutes actually open.

Are you opposed to modding it? I have no reason to believe this won't still work. Edit: Just tested it, it works in 1.7.2.

This seems somewhat relevant.

Oh... so you weren't cosplaying B1050.1...

Gridfin hydraulic pump froze, eh?

The foam strike was before booster separation, so if I'm not mistaken, they still had abort options before ATO. If you watch shuttle launches, they're constantly talking about sites that the shuttle could land at in the event of an SSME failure... well after the boosters are jettisoned. Even gliding the thing into the ocean would have been a better chance for them than letting it go to orbit. But as @razark said, foam smacking the orbiter was "normal" so they didn't realize how bad it was until after the shuttle got to orbit. Which, at that point, it was basically doomed. Now that we've had 16 years to think about it, there may have been situations where it could have been possible to at least give them a chance... But I think it just wasn't an option for the time frame they had. I read this a few months ago, and found it pretty interesting. https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/02/the-audacious-rescue-plan-that-might-have-saved-space-shuttle-columbia/ Back around when it happened, I was still in high school, and literally everything I knew about space came from Star Trek, so naturally I was confused as to why they didn't just hang out at the space station. Now I know better. At least after 2003, if an orbiter wasn't going to the ISS, they did have another one ready that could do a rescue. https://www.space.com/6597-rare-sight-twin-shuttles-launch-pad-time.html I love this image.

Use an action group to shut them all down, then only turn on a couple of them? Also low-powered RCS thrusters are really the best for extremely fine course corrections.

I wouldn't bother futzing with Galaxy. The game doesn't update so often that you need Galaxy to manage it for you. Download the self-contained installer, mark the install.sh file as executable (right-click-> permissions) or (chmod +x /home/you/whatever/kerbal_space_program_1_7_2_02556_30216.sh) and install. Unless there's a specific reason you want to use Galaxy?

It's not that complicated. It's just that file management can be difficult to explain to some people through text. I've had to mention the process a few times before, I might do a short video explaining how to do it. It would be nice if the Load Save feature in KSP supported folders, so you could just pick the backup files from the menu without moving and files first. Another option, and I've done this before, is to Alt-12 the ship to Mun orbit. Then Alt-12 Jeb to rendezvous with the ship. Puff over to it and get in. Then use the Alt-12 menu to turn on infinite fuel. Re-land. Turn infinite fuel back off. Now you're on the Mun's surface, with the same amount of fuel as you started with.... Just probably not in the same spot. Although if this is your first trip to the Mun, that's unlikely to matter. It's not perfect, but it's an option when game-save-fu isn't an option.

I think Dres would be a nice low-gravity body for it. Considering you can't sneeze on Gilly without hitting escape velocity, it would be all disadvantages and no advantages. That said... Go nuts.

I understand it's the first B5 FH to fly with flight proven, but there's still a few issues - 1. That's not what it said. If it has said Block 5, I would have ignored it. 2. This is the third flight of a FH. Saying "It's the first to do X" has very little impact. It's like when they were all "This is the FIRST time we landed a FH center core!" After Arabsat, while landing the Center Core is something to be excited about, qualifying it with "First" doesn't mean much as it was literally only the second attempt ever. 3. Even if the Arabsat Center core survived, it would not be flying this mission. They were planning a new core for this one before Arabsat even launched. I believe it was a combination of the customer insisting, and the fact that they're not going to refly the first recovered center core so quickly, for inspection reasons. I'll try to dig up the source on that, Google Fu is failing as it's just returning results about it deciding to go for a swim. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2019/03/falcon-heavy-starlink-headline-spacexs-manifest/ https://www.spaceflightinsider.com/organizations/space-exploration-technologies/no-booster-for-you-falcon-heavy-core-stage-topples-over-in-rough-seas/

It's not the first Falcon Heavy with flight proven boosters...
