But what if the Kraken is really made of spaghetti???

"Open the capsule door, Hal." "I'm sorry Jeb, I can't do that." "It's full of snacks!"

It seems that from any distance, the dish is pointed default straight up, but once you fly close enough or walk up, it starts to move around, sometimes quite a bit. It tilts on the axle and pivots on the ring-shaped base. The center and the outer frame do not move. The fighter I flew to Nye Island seems to have been affected by the 1.2 update as it is easily FAR faster and gets to FAR higher without flaming out. I could maintain 20,000 meters easily and could peak out at a little over 25,000 meters before losing momentum. The fighter peaked out at about 1450 m/s and started to heat up and get heat bars, but did not get too close to blowing up (I didn't push my luck). I could easily maintain 1200 m/s. Strangely enough, the fuel I had could easily circumnavigate Kerbin and still do it in a little over an hour game time.

Approaching Nye Island which is almost on the other side of Kerbin. There is not real flat place, so I planned on a controlled crash. Walking up to dish... IT MOVES WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH ! How big it really is... Standing in the middle of the massive turntable Under the dish

Wait...are they strange children of the Flying Spaghetti Monster???

A plot... and cut scenes... and timeline.. An adventure game with goals that you reach by doing certain things and making choices. Even Career is sort of an open game. I volunteer to help write and structure such a project.

Wow... I flew for hours to get a couple of screen shots and you beat me to it ! I did NOT see "Tiny Jeb." I guess I am going to have to do a "walk-up" to get a really close picture.

Tracking Stations I wondered if there would be actual tracking stations. There are. In another thread, they point out a tiny Jeb standing on the dish platform. "Tiny Jeb.. YEAH ... hanging out with Tiny Rick!"

I have been using mechjeb for so long that I can do what it does manually. It helps that the 1.2 GUI is easier to use and smoother to adjust. So far as DV's are concerned, I just overbuild.

It is Magnificent ! (I am sure I have not seen it all!)

I was unable to view the User Interface since the x,y values in the .cfg file were outside my screen values (1280x1024). Recommend that initial values be more centered since the UI can be dragged where ever it is needed once visible.

You made them jump off the roof??? You MONSTER!

It can still be done!

Thanks VERY much for posting this.

I have seen a lot of video, but this totally blew my mind. Mouse-over the white boxes to see annotations.

Wow. THANKS!

I have spent a couple of hundred hours designing different types of aircraft. I have found that limiting authority on control surfaces can be VERY helpful especially when trying to use Mechjeb. I have further found that if your craft are jumping around, tweaking spring and damper settings can be helpful. I am interested in any other tips people might have and in particular dealing with aircraft doing a groundloop when braking on landing.

Same crash, different view...wait for the BOOM!

I play a LOT of KSP (my last name is Manley, but unrelated to Scott Manley AFAIK) and I put in approximately eight hours since 1.13 Release. I am sure I am well over 3000 hours game play since .25. Looks good. Stable. Thanks to all involved.

Working: MechJeb For Science Modular Rocket Systems MechJeb and Engineer for All (Make sure you are using the latest Module Manager .dll)

1.13 Release seems to be working fine with normal, but workable known issues. Thanks Sarbian !

No... I don't have a save

I have had a repeating CTD when staging just prior to reentry. All is well, I turn the craft retrograde, and when I stage to separate from the "service module" I get the normal puff and sound and about 200 milliseconds after I get the Windows 10 error pop-up. This has happened with big and small craft.

I may have spoken too soon. I still got CTDs. If you read news online (Google News search for Kerbal Space Program) I am not sure there are not bigger problems coming.
