Gargamel

Back in the day, we used the IBM Fishbowl terminal PC in high school. For some reason the printers would only spew out every fourth print job. I knew that the spool was jammed in the printer Queue, so I asked the one teacher to let my use her account to clear out all the jobs, and we could start anew. Which was especially important as I was the layout editor for the newspaper, and we really needed those jobs printed. She didn't want me mucking around in her account, for whatever reason, we weren't connected to the net (wasn't even a thought at the time). So with her watching over my shoulder, I opened the password list file, which was unencrypted (??), got her password, logged into her account, fixed the printer, and then said "See, everything's fine". She threw a fit, and started pushing for me to get expelled. When brought before the principal and superintendent, I pointed out that a) I had fixed the problem and b) there were no rules regarding what I had done. They agreed, told the teacher to do her job better, and let me go with a warning of "Don't do that again". In the next years school handbook, there was a page and a half of rules on computer networks and security. I can claim that I single handedly made the school district rewrite the handbook. 6 years later, my brother did something similar, this time relating to the internet (I don't know the details), and again they had to rewrite the handbook cause of us. ----- Another Story. Was stage crew for drama club for my senior year., cause I like building things. We were doing "Pirates of Penzance". Director asked me if it was possible to make a working cannon for the ship set we had. When she said "working cannon", she meant a puff of smoke and maybe some flash paper. I had took this to mean she wanted to make a working cannon. So I made an air cannon with a 10 inch barrel. An air compressor charged a section of the gun with air upto 120 psi, and when the aluminum foil diaphragm I placed in it ruptured, it would fire, making a very loud boom. The amount of pressure required depended on the number of layers of aluminum foil. The effect was made even cooler by adding a bunch of gold glitter and baby powder. Oh yeah, and a 10 inch Nerf Ball, painted black, as a cannon ball. So one day, I'm down "below decks" in the ship, working on the compressor and the cannon. Never heard the choir come out on stage to practice. Neither did they notice me charging the gun. BOOM. Then I heard the screams. Yeah they were a tad upset. Got the gun dialed in enough that it would send the nerf ball half way out into the auditorium, usually caught by the audience. But on the second night, I had dialed up the pressure to it's max, and when the ball came out, it knuckled right down into the orchestral pit, catching the trombone player right between the eyes, causing her to flip over backwards in her chair. She too was a tad upset. It's hard to not laugh at somebody who has a baby powder "burn" mark in the middle of her forehead.

Well, with the date getting pushed back again, it's really not practical for me to do the trip and start back to work on the 6th. Have to scrub till next year....

Moved to gameplay questions.

Overlapping thread has been merged.

Moved to Add-on Releases! \o/

For starters, we'll need a mod list and logs:

While there are probably some good ideas to be had here, the designs and parts are so outdated to be no longer relevant. There are quite a few good rover threads over in the spacecraft Exchange, where this thread now resides.

Like the launcher, the training missions have been woefully neglected for many years.

Only a couple hours left to go on this one. Are we sure I don't get a CEU credit for this?

So it's planned for 2340 local time on the 30th. Where do I find out if they plan to recover the booster on land?

Some Posts have been edited or removed. Folks, bugs happen in mods. They just do. There is no reason to personally attack a modder for apparent bugs. Most modders have multiple methods for bug reporting, be it in the thread or a github issue or other means. If these methods aren't used, there's no way to expect them, volunteer modders who do this in their own time, to be aware of the issue. Also, if you see a post that is potentially rule breaking or likely to cause a fight, please report it. Do not resort to trying to backseat moderate the thread. You'll just end up being another combatant in the fight. Let us handle the moderation here.

So are we.

Locked for moderator review. Some posts have been removed for Off topic Bickering. Let's keep it civil.

Well...... we can't help you unless you do a bit of work yourself..... We need logs and a mod list. We also need you to confirm that every mod you are using is the right version for the version of KSP you are using.

Some off topic posts have been moved to their own thread.

Literally 2 posts above yours.

The very simple answer to your question is thus: Is the game playable? If no, remove some mods. If Yes, consider adding more. Every one's game play style is different, what they expect out of the game is different. I have a potato and run 80 mods relatively fine, but I stay away from the graphics mods. The beauty of KSP's modding system is that it's basically plug and play. Slap a new mod in there, if it works, great! If not, yank it back out. Mod that thing till you can't play it anymore.

Some very off topic posts have been removed. When posting in a particular mod thread, please keep the discussion relevant to that mod. Thanks.

:S too early Dangit.... schedule a date already....

Question has been split into it's own thread to avoid confusion.

It's "local" for me, as if a 5 hour drive is "local". I can get through most of it in the time slot allotted, and could even hit it again on the way back. Hmmmmmmm..... Isn't the Texas down that way too?

So now I'm starting to think this. Cleveland, Ohio NASA day 1 Wright Patterson AFB, USAF museum, Dayton Ohio, Day 2 Houston Texas, NASA, Day 4. New Orleans, Day 5 KSC, Florida, Day 7 depending on Launch date ( If ever) Daytona Speedway Day 8 Huntsville, AL, NASA Day 9 And then back home.... But it all depends on if they launch or not, and if I'd like to be back in the French Quarter of NOLA for New Years Eve.

That is because there is only one game worth playing, soon to be two. There is only one forum needed for the one game. There can be only one.

And having a name that I spent a few minutes trying to say out loud.

Yeah, that possiblity would be fully expected. Just being able to do a tour and such would be fun, but I'm not heading down there just for a tour. If there's a planned launch, I'll go. Might head down to the Keys too.
