  1. Small question, why can I do Kerbin-Mun/Kerbin-Minmus transfers but not Mun-Kerbin/Minmus-Kerbin transfers? I had to get in orbit around Kerbol before it let me transfer back to Kerbin.
  2. Can\'t seem to get this one off the ground, but that may just be my inexperience as a Kerbalnaut. Sometimes it falls over on the launch pad, sometimes boosters fly off... Help?
  3. I can\'t seem to do Mechjeb landings. It starts burning the lander stage too late, I impact too fast.
  4. MechJeb enables SAS and won\'t let me switch it off, I have to hold it off. Then it does the gravity turn, but not very well, still fails to reach orbit.
  5. This is the ship that doesn\'t execute gravity turns well. Maybe I\'m just too unfamiliar to get it working? You guys try, please. It\'s a ship I downloaded off here and then added MechJeb to, works fine on some, not on others.
  6. Mechjeb never seems to get me to a circularized orbit, either...I always reach my apoapsis and begin descending rapidly before I can get orbit. On my larger rockets, Mechjeb never starts a gravity turn when I tell it to. Let\'s say I tell it to start turning at 10 km, stop at 70 km, and orbit at 75 km. A small rocket with one or two stages will do this fine. But with a Mun rocket? It will go to 50 km straight up, coast to apoapsis, then try to circularize. It always fails. I don\'t get what I\'m doing wrong...
  7. Another weird thing with staging: If I have Mechjeb modules on my bottom stages and jettison the stages manually, it gets rid of Mechjeb, even though I have them on stages further up. What should I be doing?
  8. Yeah, I just tried it and it ejected all stages when it was only supposed to eject the bottom and this was during ascent... I\'ll have to try this again, I\'ve gotten into Munar orbit a few times with a downloaded rocket+MechJeb, maybe my gravity turns are too steep...
  9. I can\'t seem to get the autostaging to cooperate, among other things. I usually use radial Mechjebs near the last stage to control it, and it works sometimes, but other times, no. I\'ve had it work perfect until I was in orbit around the Mun, then not jettison the final stage before landing. Am I doing something wrong? I\'m taking rockets built for the Mun and adding MechJeb to them, is that it?
  10. When in doubt, name it after after any famous ship from the 17th to 20th centuries. Beagle? Constitution? Bonhomme Richard?
  11. I have no idea how I haven\'t heard of KSP before, and from what I\'ve played of it, it\'s awesome! I currently cannot play it, but when my desktop comes in, I\'ll be playing it all the time, hopefully I can get out of the atmosphere without a massive explosion. Looking forward to playing and then posting my trials, successful or not. Also, do I need to do that Captcha thing for every post?
