Locked Camera - that was it. I can't believe how simple that was. 2 Ships aligned perfectly with 1st shot. ty all!

+1 to this...I have always wondered the same thing.

Maybe I am just doing things old school before the docking port was invented.... Lets say you have a long tube as a ship and off the side of it in dead center you have a port. Now lets say you have two of them in space. So when you doc the two of them up... you can technically dock them aligned so from a horizontal view they will look aligned like the letter "I" or you can dock them so they will look like an "X" Now lets say the two piece have to be docked aligned or it wont be weighted properly in space. The problem I always have is that when I start rotating the ships around the rcs gets all messed up. Up becomes down and down becomes up. I would like to specify my docking port (control from here) [this I can do], I would like to specify "target port" [this I can do].... but when I rotate the ship around, I would like to specify which way is "up down left right" on my rcs so I can properly align stuff in space. Hard to explain. Probably not able to be modified by a mod but by ksp dudes.

I would love a setting where you can click a button, rotate your ship or something and specify which part of the ship is "North" when in "R" mode. Sometimes when docking and you need to rotate the ship last second to get everything aligned, up becomes sideways, down becomes other sideways and mess it up. Great mod either way.

I have found the game more enjoyable to play in career mode in a science mode fashion. Editing the save file to start with something like 2-3 million and then playing. If the contracts get too repetitive, I just start building what I want. I got tired of having to constantly go put sats into a specific orbit over and over again. That and I can`t stand that it doesn't show you a picture of the inventory item the contract wants you to use.

Has anyone else had issue when building a rocket and lets say you have taken a piece off the ship and then press ctrl-z the ship appears back on the ship but the game becomes unplayable. No buttons take any action anymore. The Ship gets all messed up. The only fix is to fully close the game and re-open it. (No CTRL-Zing!) M.

Thanks, I will try it.

So which "environment" mod does everyone use? I just want the planets and stuff to look cooler. I'm all ears.

I am trying to figure out how to get clouds and stuff on the planets going thru the mods. I think I found the mod I see reference to in all the posts (is it this one) ? http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/220335-astronomers-visual-pack-interstellar-v2#t1:description From my understanding its not really a mod, but an assortment of mods that need to be installed part by part? Or am I missing something so there is 1 simple zip download / unzip and play ? Thanks, M.

I disagree. Why give me swept wings if I cannot place them correctly so the plane is balanced but the wings don't work properly.

I don't know how to move a thread so please just click this link to read the defect on swept wings. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/127877-Airplane-Keys-Reversed?p=2066127&posted=1#post2066127

I have confirmed is the swept wings. Another plane with just cheap winglets works fine. There is a bug in them. The keys get reversed if you build it like I did. Here is a simple image for you to try for yourself. [imgur](http://i.imgur.com/YYp9VR9.jpg)

I built this plane from scratch right now. I tried a simple model too. I put a cockpit, 1 tanker, an engine, swept wings and a tailfin. Keys are reversed for airplanes for some reason. I based my swept wing position based on CoM just infront of CoL

I have enhanced navball installed so I can move the navball off to the left. However, I just built a plane and if I push the "W" key, the airplane tries to climb. If I push the "S" key, the airplane dives. How did this get reversed? W should go dive and S should climb on a plane. It should be relative to a rocket. Has anyone else experienced this? Images here of pushing Up and going Up. Pushing down and going down. http://imgur.com/a/Wo77Z#0

Has anyone else noticed that when you are building a plane in the airplane hanger, the initial piece starts off backwards than what the floor says it should be? I'm assuming the yellow boxes are meant for wheels. But if you start building a plane, your cockpit is facing in the opposite direction. :-)

I grew up with Pluto being a planet. Its day will come again! I will wait till July 14, 2015 when "New Horizons" probe will fly by Pluto (the planet) :-)

You missed Pluto: http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/pluto-ceres-and-an-exciting-summer-for-space-exploration-bob-mcdonald-1.3129249

You should be able to pick any fuel tank and you can store X amount of units into it. You should be able to choose what the ratio of X units is. Thus every part becomes usable for everything you want to build. Why build more parts? - just fix the parts you have to be multi-purpose.

This is a 25 minute video...what are we looking for - what part in the video. Or are you just trying to get views?

I just tried a science mode. There should be a hybrid science mode + career mode. A couple comments: -Kerbals should still have the option to grow their career and start with 1 star. -You should still have contracts available. -Gives you something to try to achieve (you just have infinite money to do it)

I agree. If the intention is that pods do not stay heat shield down, there should be a drone parachute as part of the pod to keep it slower and pointing in the right direction. I just had a pod come back from space and using a tonne of electricity to keep it balanced. Then in a split second the pod flipped 180 degrees over and blew up.

Quitter :-p

Do most of you use this mod? for wings? or do you build the big wings with a tone of little bits? http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/29862-0-90-Procedural-Dynamics-Procedural-Wing-0-9-3-Dec-24

So they can ruin this game like they ruined SimCity? I think not!

Who said I was frustrated? I just couldn't figure out why I couldn't get off the runway with a bigger plane.
