1.7 Room to Maneuver Update

[Joe Calton]

Before I get into this, 2 points...

1.  I absolutely LOVE KSP!  I've only had it since February (a gift from a friend) and I've already spent a huge chunk of my newly retired life playing in the sandbox, building and launching cool stuff!  I'll spend the rest of my life (I'm 63) building my space faring civilization.  Maybe I'll model it after Iain M Banks "Culture".  That would be cool.

2.  I'm an idiot.  I'm sure the answer to my question is incredibly obvious and I'm just too stupid to figure it out.  So there's that.

OK.

One of my challenges, even with MechJeb 2 and autopilots (not ashamed or embarrassed) is getting my  ScanSat in a polar orbit around the Mun.  I keep crashing (see point 2 above).

 

So I'm really, REALLY anxious to try out the 1.7 Room to Maneuver update!

When I fire up KSO, it tells me that there is a new version, but the Update button is grayed out, and I can't find a link ANYWHERE on kerbalspace.com, the KSP forum, ckan, the KSP FB group or anywhere else.

I really want the Update, but I can't find it!

I was a Systems Analyst for over 30 years and worked on TONS of system migrations and updates.  If you are going to announce a major upgrade to your system, shouldn't "Job 1" be to making it super easy for users to get the upgrade?

Again, I'm probably just stupid.  Feel free to flametroll me (after you give me the link).  I can take it.

Where did you buy it from @Joe Calton, since it was a gift, I might assume steam.  If so, it should self update shortly.   If it's through the website, you can go to your account, and find the download links from there. 

As for getting into a polar orbit with MJ, you can just set your target inclination to 90 degrees prelaunch, and then it will head north for you, and circularize as needed.

The first question is what source you got KSP from in the first place.  How to upgrade depends on the answer to that.

I bought it on kerbalspaceprogram.com  When I log onto my account, it shows the purchase back in Feb and gives me the option of re-downloading the original 1.6 install, but no mention whatsoever of the 1.7 update.

It shows it for me.

Under "your orders", there should be a Download button.   From there you can find the list of versions available to you.  1.7 Should be on it.  

If it's not, there might be a glitch associated with it being a gift purchase.  But I'm just guessing there.

It should look like this after you push the download button:
