Okay, I will definitely have to try that!

Good Evening! So I built a Falcon Heavy style rocket in KSP 2, and it performs amazingly. However, I wanted to land the booster section once I separated. When I switched to the booster, I have no SAS control even though I have a remote unit on the booster. How do i make that section have SAS control?

Does anyone here stream KSP 2? I know the content may be dry for most people, but there are those of us who enjoy a good rocket launch!

I’d cry

I learned a very valuable lesson today. Always, ALWAYS check your staging. Even if you aren't going to use staging in the correct order as it's listed in the staging groups, still check. I'd hate for you to be on the Mun and returning to Munar orbit and go to stage and realize someone used super glue on the parts and now the lower stage is glued to your upper. Always check your staging newbies. That is all.

Changes are amazing so far! Thank you!

Practice makes perfect!

Thank you for the Update! Patch .1.2.0 definitely is a step in the right direction and I cannot wait to see what else is in store.

So I finally got to the Mun using the Saturn V look alike. Everything went perfectly. https://imgur.com/gallery/7MZ8Xaw Above is the gallery of the mission so far! I made changes to the lander, and, honestly, I like the design of this one better.

Vessel is very stable and handles very well. Thoroughly impressed with the design!

It's buggy, but it's early access, so theres that. Other than that it's a ton of fun.

Good Morning! So I thought that I would share with you all my trip to the Mun yesterday, and share some photos of that Journey. So here, we have the Atlas Mk V on the launch pad (after having to revert back to VAB a few times to get struts put where they were needed, we're ready for the "final launch") And Liftoff So Far Everything is Nominal. Just look at those engines going! Still going well! Time for Stage 1 separation and ignition of stage 2 engines. I removed the Fairings to reveal the Munal module and lander, and doing a burn to circularize my orbit around Kerbin. Now making the maneuver plot and doing the burn towards the Mun. Everything up to this point has been nominal. No issues, nothing. Looks like it's going to be a very uneventful trip other than the hype of landing on the Mun! We've entered the Mun's SOI and are now making an orbital burn to circularize and prepping for the Munar module and lander rendezvous. And the Kraken Strikes. After successfully docking the Munar Module with the Lander, I go to separate the Lander from Stage 3, and the Panels that I have the legs attached to start shaking uncontrollably and cause an explosion. This mission has turned into Apollo 13. It's time to get them home safely. I detach from the Munar Lander and start my trek back to Kerbin. Once the orbit with kerbin is established, I decide to try and do an aerobraking maneuver, something I've never tried before. Usually I just go straight for a de-orbit burn and land, but I wanted to try the aerobraking method. Well, I learned that you need to make your periapsis a bit lower, I ended up orbiting about 10x more times, but finally landed. After waiting patiently, I finally hit the re-entry window and began my final descent to Kerbin Addendum, I had to make the fairing like that because it was clipping and would not let me make it the way I wanted. So I know it doesn't look like a traditional Saturn V, but close enough

Here we go, a look at what the kraken did to me yesterday. It was a very Apollo 13-esque mission.

I fought the Kraken and the Kraken won, numerous times. I tried to get it to separate multiple times, and every time, the lander's lower half would shake itself until failure. (P.S. - I cannot figure out how to post pictures)

You're awesome! Thank you for the Tip!
