demon_warrior49 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have downloaded Mechjeb and put everything in the right folders but when i launch the game i get stuck on the initial loading screen and the bar gets stuck on Mumech_Mechjebpod and never loads any farther is there a fix to this. also what is the latest version of mechjeb cause for all i know i have an old one and that might be causing the issue.

LaydeeDem Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Delete any old versions of mechjeb. But in my opinion, don\'t use mechjeb. Where\'s then fun in flying a rocket when a computer does it for you?Also, welcome to the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmattz Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 But in my opinion, don\'t use mechjeb. Where\'s then fun in flying a rocket when a computer does it for you?I am pretty sure that even as early as the mercury-redstone rockets computers were part of the control system... I, personally, have more of a problem wrapping my head around complete manual control than I do having some form of \'autopilot\' on-board. In MY opinion, there should be at least some rudimentary autopilot integrated with the current command modules, as that is more \'realistic\' and historically appropriate than manually strong-arming rockets into orbit.Now, to address the OP, older versions of mechjeb do not work in .16, and the command modules will cause the game to freeze on loading, what you need to do is download the most recent version (1.9 i think) from the mechjeb topic and install that.

I just don\'t like the ascent autopilot. Where\'s the fun in it? I understand it\'s more historically accurate, but it makes people lazy. I had to learn how to fly rockets again because I abused mechjeb. Regardless, it is a fantastically written plugin, and I still do use it for orbital info.

Truth be told, mechjeb taught me how to gravity turn more efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
