why would i bother to transmit i just launch another ship

i think you probably didnt read what i posted.... i said "until they (the mods)are updated too" do you realize many mods are broken now?

there's an option in steam: "previous stable version"

i think the buff is for 0.24 not 0.23.5 (i may be wrong tho'... havent unlock the ions yet..)

how do you fly it if you dont have a crew? you have a probe head on it? if so, you still have control of the thing, that's nothing wrong with it. just fly another ship to get the people there. if not, how do you get it into space to begin with? are you a wizard?lol

new save, 1: on the launch pad ~10science 2: hovering a little ~20science 3: fly higher ~50 4: low orbit ~50 5: high orbit ~50 (unlock goo) 6: Mun flyby ~150 (unlock material bay) 7: Minmus flyby ~150 8: high above Sun ~600 now i am done for the day

so do you start clean or if you try to fix the save files if it breaks: because of malfunctioning mods)

do you start a new save clean without mod (until they are updated too) i do. but it's kind of getting repetitive and dull now...(because of the earlier parts of the tech tree is pretty boring indeed) i am having a feeling the first few missions are pretty much standard for many people 1: on the launch pad ~10science 2: hovering a little ~20science 3: fly higher ~50 4: low orbit ~50 5: high orbit ~50 (unlock goo) 6: Mun flyby ~150 (unlock material bay) 7: Minmus flyby ~150 8: high above Sun ~600 (you dont probably try to land and return before this point, because you dont have the lander legs; of cos you can land on the engines, they are quite strong...but just why would you) but the problem is... these are indeed very unimaginative; all you have to do is to snap a capsule,some liquid engines, some solid boosters, some more solid boosters and some control surfaces together... you dont even have to guess if you would have enough fuel or thrust because you probably have more than enough. (perhaps you bother to actually to the additions for the masses of the parts but i dont)

does it work with 0.23.5

F5-ing the addon showcase subforum to see if the mods are getting updated

dont angle your yaw control. it's better (easier) to fly with orthogonally placed control surfaces instead of angled ones. and dont angle the landing gears too (it will make you tilt to one side and crash when you try to take off)

add wings and control surfaces and a coulpe of reaction wheels if the asymmetric thrusting isnt that bad

CAPSLOCK and rcs mehjeb offers a reading of the s.m.a corrected to 7 digits

i want to you a question. but i aint telling you the question.

you can there is thousands of data readout mods. same semi major axis, same T.

KAS doesnt allow movement when throttle is on

and yes, some spare fuel is always a good idea. (and another important tip is remember to SWITCH YOUR SPEED DISPLAY TO SURFACE MODE)

if i am to land at about the same spot on Mun, - i'd do my initial descend in a way that the crashing spot is a little bit behind my target landing spot - when the lander (almost) flies pass the zenith of my landing spot, i kill my surface horizontal speed ASAP, so that the lander is moving almost vertically exclusively. - than i proceed to try to find flat spot and land.

so does it mean, i have to put two probes into coplanar polar orbits, and then relay my signals from the KSC, to the equitorial ones, then to my active vessel? - but the polar probes will sooner or later run into the dark side of the planet, wont it?

a quick answer, no. -------------------------------------------------- - the ascending/descending node is just a spot where the two orbital planes intersect. - if you want to go to Minmus, you should try to launch in such a way that your ship's trajectory is as co-planar as you can to Minmus'es orbit, so that you dont have to adjust the inclination when you get into space. (but the inclination change shouldnt take much fuel anyways, a couple hundred m/s is more than enough in most of the cases) - since Minmus is not very massive, matching the inclinations are pretty important if you dont want to wait a number of orbits until they line up.

how can i modify my current setup in order to afford a zero down time for a probe (with one antenna only) orbiting sun? - i can have zero downtime now with 3 antennas on the probe but how can i do so with only 1 antenna?

the update is just a myth. there's NO 0.24 coming. they abandoned the game. it's 4months already and they only say soon and they close every question on the WHEN aspect of the 0.24 myth.

mechjeb auto piloting and auto maneuver node are very bad, it's only good at the initial ascend. which is not even hard. not many people are using it to autopilot anyways. it's for the readouts. (yes the calculations or guesstimations arent even hard anyways, but why guessing and calculating when you can have the computer do it.)

actually the a stock-only way to do the same thing isnt that hard anyways with the help of sub-assembly, but it's still a good mod part idea. but i have a suggestion, instead of a 3-node design, how about using only 2... see... the problem is, with 3 nodes, there are 8 parts for every connections, which alone isnt too many...but when it comes to a bigger station or ship, one less part count is one less part count.
