Hey Evertone - Help Me! Plz

Hello,

I just bought the game, and before I go on building my own Rockets I would like to use the ones that "come with the game". I am trying to put the Orbital 1A into orbit, but I just cant! Any tips on how to make that fit into a rocket?

Thanks.

The tutorials would be a good place to start.

Oh man, the 1A? That's a lump!

I'd start with a small decoupler then rockomax adapter, then a jumbo-64 and a mainsail.

Then I'd fit a pair of radial decouplers and two more jumbo-64's and mainsails, add struts to make it rigid then fuel lines from the outer two tanks to the middle one.

I'd change the staging to put all three mainsails in the bottom stage, and put an ASAS under the parachute.

Kinda like this

Then I'd cross my fingers and hope for the best

Thank you sal_vager! I shall try this. Two questions: 1. The fuel from the outer 2 tanks would fill the center tank, right? So that when they get empty the main fuel line still has 100%? 2. Don't I need Cones at the other end of the fuel tanks, to make them more aerodynamic?

PS: Before I bought the game I saw in the Demo that there were Nuclear Engines, but they aren't in-game... So how am I supposed to fly to other planets?

PSS: For some reason I only have, like 4 tutorial missions, is that correct?

Thanks for all the help!

There IS a nuclear engine in-game. It's called ''LV-N'' and then something more. And you still can get to other plants without the LV-N.

We've only got ONE nuclear engine.
