Just tried version beta6 and beta7. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Game is 0.16, lazor addon folders 'source' 'ships' 'plugins' 'parts' all dropped into the already existing folders of the same name in the KSP_win directory. I get the ship parts just fine. I have set them up as is recommended. When I get to the launch pad I get no UI except for a red box in the top right corner that when clicked on opens into a window that allows the lazors to be directed, but its much more simplified than the screenshot 'lazor system' window. As for all the other UI windows. I don't have them.

I do drop my 2nd last stage onto the surface as I was dropping. The one time I tried to use it to judge distance it dissapeared. I'm not sure if it went through the surface of the mun or if I did it far too high up and lost sight of it. I installed the two addons mentioned by sal_vager. I'm not sure if I extracted them incorrectly or what because I'm not getting all those GUI windows that the screenshots show. All I'm seeing are the ship parts, the lazors and autopilot stuff. I haven't toyed with the autopilot because I'm thinking that may remove some of my fun, but the only additional UI I'm seeing is the lazor targeting box in the very top right corner that drops down and gives you the 4 direction buttons. I'm not seeing the subsystems, config, target cam, parameters, tractor beam, and my lazor system box is much more simple than the one in their screenshot. This is after I've placed tons of lazors all over my ship in the manner recommended if it matters at all. edit: toyed around with mechjeb and its ui seems to work. It just seems to be the lazor one that is not, maybe I should try the older beta 6 version.

Trying to land on the moon, and by eye its extremely hard to tell how close you are to the surface due to there being no landmarks. I'm following the altimter to get an idea of what my decent speed should be at different hights, but I'm always crashing into the surface with the alimeter anywhere between 1100m and 4000m. It will be a pain to slow my decent to only 5m/s when the altimeter reads 6000 just because I don't know when I'm going to hit the surface. Am I doing something wrong?
