Hello!

[619Soldier]

I just brought KSP a few days ago and I'm having a blast so far! I picked up pretty quickly after watching a few videos around the web. I haven't made it very far yet but that's all part of the fun for later on. I've made it into orbit around the mun several times but just can't seem to land there. I realise you have to slow down to 4m/s or something after reading the wiki but no matter how much upward thrust I put the m/s number doesn't go down. Even when I'm hovering about 2,000m above the ground going down about 20m/s a second however the number says 400m/s which is not true.

Welcome to the game.

About the numbers, are you talking about the digital display above the navball? Because that one is a combination of horizontal and vertical speed, so may still show a high number if you haven't shed all of your orbital speed yet. The analog dial at the top, next to the altimeter, displays only the vertical speed.

Welcome to the forums, 619Soldier.

It doesn't matter how far you have gone, as long as you are enjoying the game.

Hope you are able to land on the Mun soon, I suggest the How To section here on the forums.

Have fun playing KSP and go blow up some rockets!

Hi 619Soldier, welcome to the community

Maybe you have set your speedo to the wrong mode by accident, click on it to switch between orbital speed and ground speed modes.

Make sure you're pointed retrograde (Green circle with an x through it) during your landing. This means your ship is pointing away from where you're going.

Hello there mighty good one!

I hope you have a splended time launching.

Also, check out www.kerbal.net and find some good mods! I recomend the protractor mod to get to other planets!

Anyhow, you are doing good, and i wish you well.

Happy exploding!
