Festivefire Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I can't seem to find the rendezvous module...It was disabled. If you want it, you need to recompile the source codes after removing he comments around the code involving the rendezvous module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekku Zakku Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I don't know if this is a known bug that's already been talked about before or what, but it's been interfering with my current rocket so I thought I'd go ahead and say something about it.When I decouple anything from my command pod, MechJeb causes any other decouplers that are no longer attached to the command pod to be decoupled as well. Is this intentional? Or a side-effect of being able to control decoupled parts? Ideally I would be able to control a decoupled part, and then be able to further decouple something else off of that (separately from when I decoupled the first part of course). Would that even be possible, or am I just dreaming too large here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place your "main" capsule at the top of the rocket.It works best decoupling from the bottom up. When you finally decouple the "secondary" ship, that ship should be a single stage. If you do it that way your "main" ship should remain intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do it that way your "main" ship should remain intact.Well, what if my "main" ship (the one that is no longer the controlled part of the ship) also needs a decoupler? I have 3 decouplers, and I need the middle one to decouple without either of the end ones prematurely decoupling. Might be outside the realm of possibility right now, but if it's a bug with MechJeb, then I'd like to know if it would be possible if it were fixed. The problem I described only happens with MechJeb on my ship, even though without it I can't decouple something that's already separated anyways.Wouldn't even have to worry about this though if docking was added already... I thought that sending up both of the modules I needed would work if I could control them both independently, but this decoupler problem is making it impossible to do things exactly how I want =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekku Zakku Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Well the update did fix the decoupler issue I had! Although I was definitely dreaming too big when I thought I might be able to do any kind of staging on parts that have been separated (decoupling, parachutes, w/e), although I'm definitely satisfied now and I'll just have to wait for docking or something to be able to do what I'd like =P oh well, I'll deal for now, thanks r4m0n for an awesome mod with MechJeb, and ptaylor25 for trying to help with my problem, I appreciate it =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orson Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 First post here , been lurking for a while now .... i did manage to get to land on the Mun before i used mechJeb , now i use it almost all the time to speed up transfers and orbits , but its been a great tutor , only real fault i found , it can be heavy handed when manoeuvring big ships under RCS . DLing 1.9.1 now ... many thanks btw i have been in awe at the math involved ..... mechjeb decided 0.5 meters was enough tolerance for this landing nice one Orson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olex Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Great news! The new functions in autom8 make it an extremely useful instrument.In addition to the "Fly Me To The Mun" script published on the wiki, I've now written the opposite - a script to return from the Mun to Kerbin and land. For now, it only works from the near side of the Mun, and is not 100% optimal. Obviously, you need enough fuel, and either even more fuel and enough thrust or parachutes for Kerbin landing.

FunkMunki Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've added a new thread for Autom8 scripting here, please keep all scripting discussion there.That's nice to know, but do you have any idea why my client keeps crashing with this mod? I made it all the way to mun this time and tried to land and it froze. Any help would be appreciated.I'm new to this, so I apologize if this is redundant. I unpacked the parts and plugins and moved them into the correct folders, but it does not work, I feel like I'm missing something important here....Did you make sure to install the actual part onto your ship that makes it work? If you look you'll notice some new parts. There are a few different ones you can use to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumHelper Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) How to use the pod fuel tank with a lot of connection points? Also, where can I check my deltaV at any point during flight? Edited August 9, 2012 by ForumHelper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzung Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Select the spherical MechJeb pod, turn camera so that you look exacly down on it, then you can place the fuel tank in the middle, after that select engines, go to 4x symmetry, attach them, then do the same with the legs.If it doesn't work, attach it to a wrong node, then try to add legs or engines first, if it works attaching the tank right should become easier.
