alfrank Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 More than a few times I'm happily into my munar orbit descent burn and I'm down to 3-4 km from the surface (or so I'm led to believe) when suddenly, KABOOM! i explode into a million bits. Did I hit a mountain and if so, why didn't this show up in the altitude to surface? I might add, if I didn't hit a mountain, what the devil happened? I didn't make any control changes.

Vanamonde Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Is possible, I suppose. Were you not watching when it happened? KSP1 or 2? What does the F3 report say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfrank Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 I switched to camera view earlier and that helped. I then was able to make two sort of landings (came down resting on my side instead of upright). But, it's progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroneer08 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 If it's ksp1, then was your altimeter set to ground or sea? If it's ksp2 then IDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvi Fisthaug Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 How low was your apoapsis and periapsis? I would not venture in a munar orbit below 10km. But I have seen uncontrolled craft just disappear from map view, presumably destroyed, some 200km above Kerbin in timewarp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's progress If it was KSP1, when you approach the Munar surface at altitudes of less than 7,000 meters, click on the ocean icon to the left of your altimeter. That changes it to terrain altitude. Some terrain on the mun reaches 6,000 meters and the average elevation is about 2 kilometres near the equator. Remember that you may not stop in time!
