JNS951

Hi M.T. Many thanks. I did undertake the wheel arrow fix prior to your post and all was peachy ...except I didn't install another seat so my recovered Kerbal kept falling out. And I forgot it was the point of focus and it rolled while I wasn't paying attention. And I have all my missing Kerbals and Eagles all together in one place. I have finally got the hang of flying around the Mun without crashing ...well pretty much. I am sure it would be easier if I wasn't lugging around pods brimmed with additional fuel canisters. Next on the agenda is to add a fuel pipe to the next outbound Eagle so that, hopefully, I can transfer resources with the EVATransfer Mod. I haven't trialed this yet so not holding my breath.

My son bought me KSP for Christmas and I probably haven't come back to the real world since. :-) The only ship I have used (aside those in the tutorials) is the Eagle - quite a steep learning curve as it is a weighty beast - but I am enjoying it greatly. A massive thank you to those involved in providing it. I have two variants of mods with additional boosters for horizontal launch on one and vertical on the other. I think I prefer the horizontal as it is tidier and seems less brutal. It is trickier to establish in orbit but I am a nueb. I have mapped the thrusters in groups to the Custom keys and with the pod VTOL thrusters set to a 10-15% limit they are great for on the Mun. I have also tuned the outputs on the main structure VTOL s to make it less prone to flip during horizontal launch. I have a problem though:- I have two crash sites on the Mun with surviving Kerbals and have successfully landed a third Eagle (well almost I lost a leg). My absolute frustration currently is I can't get the Buggy to work. It seems to be stuck in the pod. I have boarded it, released the node, the wheels turn and brake. I do still need to check their alignment as steering makes the wheels go up and down not steer so am hoping this is the issue? (I noted the red arrow tip in a previous post but haven't implemented it yet). I also can't seem to get my EVAed Kerbal back in the Command module? :-( I hope you can confirm it is just my inexperience as I can't see me using any non Eagle based craft for the foreseeable future. Crash site 1. The Buggy is in the "landed" Eagle over the ridge.
