I'm back!

[KerBlam]

Hi guys.

I had a really long hiatus from kerbal-ing, due to a long list of life getting in the way. When I left I was playing .90 and the hype and negativity surrounding 1.0 was painful and I felt it best to just give it a rest and come back with a fresh outlook, and here I am! Unfortunately my Linux box had a major melt down, and I'm playing on win7 for now but I have to say it's not too bad. except... I can't play! The new aero system in 1.0.5 is very very different to the souposhere! Even the FAR and deadly reentry mods I used to use were more forgiving. So I'm pretty much a Noob again.  

Good to be back though.

Hello KerBlam, and welcome back.

We all had to learn how to launch and ascend all over again with the new aero.

Happy landings!

Thanks! Any suggestions for threads containing pointers would be much appreciated at this point.

At the moment, only this thread about How Not to Flip comes to mind, although I'm sure there are a number of others.

Hope this helps.

Happy landings!

Wait.. you're complaining about having to use Win 7? I know people who would (and do) pay to use it instead of 10.

But welcome back!

The new aero in a nutshell (for rockets)

Long and skinny. Fins are your friend, but only at the utter back. Start your turn almost immediately off the pad (gently) and follow prograde to orbit. You should be at 45 degrees by 12-14KM (depending a bit on the rocket) and TWR that's too high can be lethal on some designs (1.5 seems universally safe for me - so far)

That's it. But for full disclosure, I still flip big things at times.

Also - welcome back!
