Henno Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 This is my first post in 3 years. I have just started playing again and oh boy has it changed! Career mode! Science mode! After looking back through my old posts apparently I was running mechjeb and protractor and something called Satmap! Now I have trouble getting a stock craft into orbit and am struggling to get mechjeb going. It is different installing it on the current version and I am pretty sure it didn't come from curse.com back then. Anyway if I do a few google searches for noob questions about mechjeb it gives the typical hits that are mostly 2 years old. If I search in here OMG the results are ridiculously advanced answers. A quick look into Addons was terrifying as well. Anybody tell me how and where to search for such foolish questions. Sorry for the long winded hullo. Hullo I am back.

Starhawk Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hello Henno and welcome back! Each add-on has it's own thread and usually the OP has a link to installation instructions. Here is a link to the MechJeb thread. Make sure you're grabbing the right version of MJ for your version of KSP. We do have rather a lot of ridiculously advanced answers around here. Glad to have you back aboard. Happy landings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henno Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hey thanks for all that Starhawk. I have had a look at that thread and it is now closed. What I did glean from it though is I need a part on my rocket called AR202 which lives in the Control section. I don't have that part so have definitely not installed correctly. I need to ask further embarrassing noob questions and no doubt I will get told to do a search by the fun police. I am running version 1.1.3 of KSP and Mechjeb 2.5.8.0 Where should I continue my quest for Mechjeb installation for a moron? Just a vague question thread in Addons amongst all the nerdy Einstein like conversations? Henno in a muddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr1gg3r Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hi henno, have you considered CKAN, for your modding needs? It can list all compatible mods with the version of ksp youre using and install/ uninstall them for you, Plus recommend others just add few at a time and check all is well. I used to have 2 modded 1.1.3 installs, which i deleted yesterday as 1.2 is going to be SOOOO much bettererer.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henno in a muddle. thread is up-to-date but just locked cause ppl keep asking for an update to the prerelease. The latest stable version can be found here, or even later the dev-builds:https://ksp.sarbian.com/jenkins/job/MechJeb2-Dev/ about Install: there is nothing bout to unzip the folder in ur /gamedata as every other mod for the part: title = MechJeb 2 (AR202 case) not sure if its in right category, but u can use the searchbar: tags: command control autopilot Edited September 29, 2016 by Speadge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a vague question thread in Addons amongst all the nerdy Einstein like conversations? Henno in a muddle Hey we were all newbies once. To install MechJeb, you need to open the zip, and copy the MechJeb2 folder to a specific place on your system. Within your KSP install there is a folder called GameData. Put the MechJeb2 folder in there. That's all there is to it. Now just run the game. Happy landings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
