Thanks everyone for a speedy response. It's been nearly 2 weeks since my original post. Since that time, I've grown decently accustomed to the game as a whole (and getting reaccustomed and mods reinstalled after the latest update). I've found a wealth of information reguarding nearly every subject and question I've had. It's truely amazing at how detailed and realistic KSP actually is, not to mention the slew of mods and addons available to make it even more realistic. The possibilities are endless! Here's a quick list of mods that I've found, that add to the overall realism, or ease of use. (for me) MechJeb (Using primarily as a training tool. Has helped greatly in understanding various terms, angles, trajectories, thrusts) Kethane Kerbal Attachment System Engineer Damn/Infernal Robotics Romfarer Lazor Parts Group Filter Nova Punch Extraplanetary Launchpads Keramzit Procedural Fairings Magic Smoke Industries Docking Washers Sunbeam I'm now able to visit Mun, and even landed nearly a dozen times now! All MechJeb-less! If anyone has any suggestions of others I should try, toss 'em my way!

Greetings everyone! I'm really excited to have found Kerbal Space Program. I remember seeing a trailer for KSP several, several months ago, but to the best of my knowledge, wasn't released yet... or at least I couldn't find it. I happen to have been lucky enough to find the Demo version a couple of days ago. Wow! Completely better than I'd have expected and more options and parts than I know what to do with. ... ... Needless to say, after I finished drooling on my keyboad for two days, I had no choice but to buy the full version. I'm now more mezmerized than before, and I think my brain exploded 3 hours ago! I've found several excellent tutorials and videoes (really impressed with Scott Manley's YouTube Videos) and have had the time of my life experimenting with different parts and getting to know the controls and screen layout. I've made it to orbit quite a few times and even circled the moon once. KSP is truely amazing. One thing that I can't seem to find much information on however is, "Adding Manuevers" via the Map. When adding a manuever, several "draggable" icons pop up. Anyone have a link to better info describing what these do in a more "3rd grade level"? I'm certain they have to do with changing and altering your orbit and trajectory, but am having a difficult time understanding them. Thank you so much, and happy flying. Chris.KFQD
