Boris Kerball

Thank you for your comments You make more sense then me...lol and i am English. lol I only used the high hat =left to right (on lift-off) and 2 buttons for rotation (when docking) and the default keys w,s,a,d, But I had nothing for UP/Down. thats when i messed up trying to configure and up/down control. my saitek X45 has two controllers, i have lots of buttons It's just to complicated, maybe if you are successful at docking you could share your control. many thanks for getting back to me. regards Brian

Sorry mate I was tired basically I never really understood the map buttons/joystick screen even though i got by. I need a basic docking config. up/down forward/back side-ways left/right and rotate maybe the same system you use, some advice. regards Brian

can any one send me a guide to set up controls I come on tonight just to set a control for Up/Down when docking and I have messed up, what i once had, which was not much i only used High hat for left/right when leaving for Space/ my A& B button for /rotation the same keys when docking. WASD which control RCA astronaut. cant believe iv messed up I have sats/around Minmus and land easy on min, but now lost all. I hit the reset button as well, im tired gota go to sleep will check tomorrow. thanks in adv. my set up is a Saitek X45 i am happy to use keyboard

Ok thanks will do... Brian

sorted.

Thanks But Not the case...just fixed it came back to let all no..what I had done while checking out the new screen lay out I in inadvertently clicked on a ship icon that turned off ships names, buy thanks for answering my MAY day..lol

Guys having great fun rescuing people from spce done it once so when 2 people where on same orbit i took the mission. as before got to within 3.2mts away no one there, so i thought maybe i'd left it to long so i scraped the mission. But now Jeb is stranded around MUN so i sent up my Mun lander stripped of its legs replaced with two seater return rescue craft. but again with in less than 5klm no craft yet in the space station i can change back to Jebs craft and cant see rescue ship any help plz guys

thanks for that yes i too last year watched Scott on my other saved games, I have bases on MUN and Minuss and orbiting stations with scientists on, I have just forgot all the controls, and I think I started with more monies last time. Thanks for help I;ll see if i have enough to save Jeb..lol Brian made IT well done Jeb is safe I dont know what button i pushed but he came alive.. havnt found the up/down button yet but he's back onboard..lol Brian

I understand from last nights help i need to upgrade station before planing orbits, but I was allways sure i could control a space walk I have plenty back pack fuel. games paused any Help plz. Brian

thanks guys station up grade 250.000 have not reached that ammount yet??? dont remember it being long into the game last time i played...thanks

Hi Guy's Just came back to KSP after a long lay off started again I have stations on Minmus and MUN and orbiting scientists. But to day I started from scratch even watched Scott manleys vids again as I managed a safe orbit around kerbal I noticed the ring was white/ not blue ?? tried Clicking on orbit to add manoeuvre like the tutorial says but Nothing. any clues guys. thanks in adv. Brian

Many thanks mate, that's what I am doing wrong...not enough batteries...great.

Guys I am nearly there fulfilling the criteria to my Kerbal satellite. I have so many Gigantica array it looks ugly, is there some component that should accompany the Gigatic array, do I need more batteries, I connected 8 more big electric panels but it's only gone up from 1500 Eglc to 2155 I have no more room, it consists of, 1 lab,25 Kerbal accommodation science jnr,x2.mk3 command modules,x2. Indeed to reach 5.255. Any advice guys would be appreciated. Regards Numpty Kerbal

I too cant get enough of it Most nights 4-6hrs wife even brings me up a cuppa tea about Nine -ish and still talks to me..lol I love the sounds i have been playing about 2 months now hav-nt even got to Duna yet moving scientists from ISS station kerbal, to Minmuss Iss station and a Lab on minmus surface, The one and only Mod (Kurrs) docking camera is oorrrssuummm, But now really wanting a space shuttle that would make this game complete for me, landing a shuttle like Nassa on the tarmac is the Ultimate...

Well I am new as well 2 months to KSP and i made mistakes and just started all over again, each time getting better, I learnt watching Scott Manley, and Marcos House Video's on you tube, but I never copied there designs, I have No idea about Delta V the game is enjoyable trial and error, I dont get bogged down trying all the Contracts , i play kinda like nassa in the begining I have no intension of going to Duna even though contracts suggest i go, cos! i am still building Satalights, and space stations, Landing and swapping astronauts on Minmus, My main enjoyments comes from Docking with the KURRS add-on. Even in carrea mode you only do what contacts you want to do, and i have £4.000.0000 my plan now is to build Or download a Shuttle (columbia Style.) Oh and by the why 1.2 runs like a dream, Enjoy...best game i ever bought. and i started with a rubber key ZX spectrum???

Not only that when you fullfill a satalight contract, a bit later in the game they then ask you to move your satalight (by Name no less) to another orbit and add bits to it, which i find amazing and thats tonights misson to dock with more sleeping accomadation + more power.Awoooorrrsummm, careea mode rocks

LOL.. Numpty Kerbal Here ..I wish I used a method like you guys I ran out of Kerbals. YOU HAVE REACHED 12 LIMIT> OH no i have no more Pilots.. !! Dont Panic Mr Mannering. Where are they all .Apllo 6.7.8. GEMINI 1,2,3,4,5 who is in what ship, i FOUND ONE Kerbal orbiting Kerbal, No coms, no command module, smiling away so rescue 1 new mission, I found JEB,& Milvie and 1 other on the Minmus space science station Housed 16 kerbals..lol. Rescue mission 2 . I have to admit I have become good at changing orbit and landing with-in 1-3km rescueing downed pilots. I think my next ship will be called International Rescue..FAB ( Mr Tracy).. Numpty Kerbal

After KSP crashing on the hour every hour after installing Only 2 Mods,( Kurs camera, and module manager) and the updated 1.2 it was suggested to remove and replace one at a time,it was while these two were removed someone also said check if playing through STEAM as they default to 32 bit, and I was convinced I had chose 64 bit when installing, BUT after checking and changing my desk-top icon for 64 bit ( which I found in the steam folder) and replacing my 2 mode, I have since notched up 12 hrs in two shifts with NO crashes at all. So a big thank you to all members who replied to my query. And one to watch for new Kerbal astronauts. So with confidence restored in mods , The real looking weather looks cool ( looking back at earth) and the Shuttle with the black tiled add- on.. fly safe.

You will soon go back for Jeb, and as a newbie myself (in my 5th week) some thing I did not realise, might help you. what I did not know was that the stars next to the pilot actually mean they can do more with experience, One being when landing click on the retrograde button and he will automatically follow the arc of trajectory to the ground, leaving you to just deal with thrust, and right clicking on the engine reduce thrust to less 50% then using ctrl/shift in the last 30ft you can keep the decent to any speed under 5.0/ms. Before I knew this I was bouncing around like a (wooden Top)before your years...lol... trying to land..lol

Hi Guys first BIG thanks to the guys that suggested in the week that Steam default to 32 bit, I found the 64bit in the same folder and I am hoping that's WY my only two mods were causing the 1.2 game crash 1-2 an hr. any way I would like to down load a 3rd mod but I cant find it, yet I saw the Vid, Its the Space shuttle and the guy was building it like we do and he added this all in one Black tiled looking piece to the underneath. is it out and does any one no what iam talking about. .(life of Brian)..or did I dream it...lol any help on this guys please.

That was my biggest blast getting back to JEB when I ran out of fuel landing, I have the vid on my phone I could not believe how easy it was to change orbit while moving across the surface and the target Icon flashed into life, stating 25km to go and falling fast..lol I landed about 1 mile away lol and when jeb got to the rescue craft.. there's only enough fuel to orbit Kerbal earth..lol another rescue... welcome and well done to this great game.

LOL..LOL I to had a rescue to rescue the rescuer, I never went back until the big orange tanks become unlocked, having said that last night with a brand new clear out of all saves I started again and went to the MUN and back with out the Big orange tanks, FIRST ATTEMPT But I don't trouble myself with Delta -V I just add another tank until I make it, I even done my version of Apollo 11 decoupling in Kerbal orbit turning around and docking with fresh engine to go to Mun, One kerbal in mother ship orbiting MUN while 2 kerbals transferred into lander, decoupled landed < flag, sample took off for mother ship leaving landing legs and small engine behind. Docked decoupled from lander and then got home.lol and I was just as excited as when I first done it 3 weeks ago. Delta -V far to complicated..lol, my new name Numpty Kerbal. lol

Yes that just what its doing, I click on the docking mode ( Bottom left screen under the rocket icon is that what you mean sas along with the lighted segment 10.oclock on compass ball?? Gotta leave work now pick up when home...thx.

Hi Guys When Not playing KSP I watch all KSP vids for further lessons I think I have come along way in 4 weeks after watching The Carrera tutorials, Marcus House & Scott Manley, I have built my own version of Apollo 11 split in kerbal orbit re docked decoupled from main engines flew to Muns orbit de coupled landed de-coupled re docked with mother ship (leaving the landing legs on the surface), and got home. BUT after watching some of you guys My RCS is not as clear as yours . I mean I have to rotate to move left then rotate to move up, the only clear movements I can do with out looking is the forward or backwards movements I use 4 way semi try but it seems all of them work at the same time and they are working slightly when I am not touching and controls, I have leant to dock this way But it would be great if I had =Up down left/right just 4 simple movements. lol any advice or share your best way of design. Ps could it be my high hat on my joy stick, I mapped this because I could not get on with looking down for buttons and docking at the same time.. regards Brian

many thanks sorry for the wrong place Newbie.. I have deleted all saves cleared the 2 mods out of //game data and started from scratch been playing for 2 hrs now. NO crashes.. tomorrow I will install one at a time as you said...thanks Brian
