I've set it to SAS only. (although I'm not planning on using SAS)

Hit toggle torque to disable reaction wheels.

About your new settings, I agree on the friction. You can also lower the brake force of the front wheels to extend the intended effect to braking. Regarding lowering the traction control, I'm not quite sure of the intended result.

it seems I'm missing some options here for the damping ?

There is no such thing in stock, you'll get that from using mods implementing the KSPWheels API, apparently. I never played with suspensions myself, so I cannot help you on that one.

Check your game settings and make sure “advanced tweakables” is on. This shows more options in game. 

Wait, what? I didn't know that! Alright, I'll check that next time I play.

Thanks for the tip, but strangly somehow I allways press F-1 instead of "B" in critical situations... :lol:

I like how we are all working on this, I feel like we all are a team. &)

The settings I have now work so good that I'm not even going to bother driving around dunes, going straight through them 50 m/s is mucho, mucho more fun.

The quicksand adventure took our cp 11 flag, I guess it's gone . . .

We'll send a jet later to place a new one.

I guess I'll setup checkpoint 12 100 km from cp 10 to match up.

Edit, looks like my bugger thinks it's a lander, I'll rename it to rover. ^_^

I've placed the harpoon, but I can't grab the winch, screw it...

As soon as the wheel was removed the buggy reacted and flipped back on its wheels without Ed having to push it. lucky glitch, I'll take it. ^_^

What version buggy are you using? If not your original bugger the upgrader may know. 

It looks to be one of those square plates. Does anyone know if KIS parts break in a crash spill out? Now that would be a fun thing.

Wow, the Kraken's really got it in for you.  Good thing Edberry has plenty of luck.

You can change that on the window popped up from the right-click buttons "Configure Vessel Naming" and "Rename Vessel".

Maybe the Kraken is resorting to finding debris from over Kerbin and hurling it at you?

Maybe the Batman is after the Kraken?

And we could not have that...  (It's the Code of Silence: the first rule of KSP is: don't talk about The .. Great .. Vacuum!)

>"and eventually learn the actual purpose of the game."      :)     Very, very funny!

OK, listen: I'm checkin' back in after just a couple of days and the collaboration has been fast & furious.

I get it that Hu is on first base.  I do.

I just want to know if Hu is buggering Hu.  And if not, who is buggering Hu?

[And, yes, I get it that I am getting reported for this post, so don't bother: I'm going to Report my own Post myself...  trust me.]

Val at work.

It's not perfect, but it will do.

Edberry pics up Val's fuelcells and dumps the stuff we don't need anymore.

Before we leave Ed removed both retrectable sunpanels, there is no need for them.

Entertaining as always (wish I had likes left).  And a really good showcase for KIS and KAS.  And your skill in using them.  So, you should be able to replace that destroyed solar panel?

You may realise this, but 'tis binary. :)

It was too good to be true . . .

Edberry was driving away and ran over a retrectable solarpanel which decided to explode !!!!

This is what you get when you don't clean up your mess..............

OMG ! ! ! :o

Did I just found a new easter egg ?

This is frustrating, I can't land there, I do not have enough fuel for a side mission.

Priority is bringing the Bugger to Edberry. -_-

But we will send 1 of the refueljets there as soon as we land.
