  1. Well I was just trying something simple before like stacking 2 BACCs ontop of each other with decouplers. I never thought to actually empty the top one first. I have definitely been out of KSP for far too long. The tests probably are easier in aircraft but, I can't fly them at all. I'm not sure I'm following. Do you mean to first fire the BACC manually by right-clicking, they just activate in staging when I reach that altitude. I did the parachute one quite easily when it occurred to me to open to mk16 on accent. But on another note I got the contract for the Mun so I've upgraded my launch pad, but I'm going to be stuck with the 30 part limit on the VAB for quite some time.
  2. I havn't actually played KSP properly since I think 0.19, I did a Science career in about April. So my approach was just to gather as much science as I could to start with, they I kind of realised that I needed to take contracts to gain money to upgrade my facilities. By this point all of the contracts had gotten a little tricky, so I am still trying to battle through some of those now to actually get some funds. So far I have managed to achieve a stable orbit of about 80km which did give me 50,000 funds. But I spent that on contract spots which, might have been a bad idea. So at the moment I'll either have to start over or battle through the tricky contracts. I'll give a few examples: - Test mk16 parachute between 20,000-30,000m at speeds of 280-500ms. Using staging system I've had a few attempts at this, and I'm going to have to use a radial parachute first before the mk16 to actually do this. - Test Rockomax BACC between 10,000-(something) at speeds 200-500ms (or something like that) THIS I have no idea how I'll do, because I have to meet those requirements before actually firing the BACC. I can't use it until then and well, thats a pretty big dead mass to be carrying with a 18 tonne pad limit. (might have gone off topic)
  3. That sounds like a lot of the pre-ISS Space Shuttle missions.
  4. Surely it is less cost effective to send an entire lab up each time you want to do science? It must be easier to just keep a small lab in an easily accessible orbit for future use and expansion.
  5. How exactly am I installing Subassembly Saver/Loader? The installation guide on SpacePort is rather brief, and doesn't explain where all the files are supposed to go.
