CatastrophicFailure Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 1 hour ago, Red Shirt said: Learned a valuable lesson as I once again attempted to test my SSTA on Minmus. As I exited warp at Minmus SOI and noticed I had no control. Seems the solar panels were blocked by the body of the ship. Ordinarily that would be OK, except the stupid radiators draw power even though they are not needed. Did a Minmus flyby and headed back to Kerbin. I thought once in atmosphere I could regain control. Silly me. My plane skills are awful. Lost Bill and Jeb. Added a couple small batteries that will be turned off at launch - just in case. There is always a mod - name one with a power switch for radiators. It ought to be a simple mm config file. Psst.... if you get in that situation with Kerbals on board, you can go EVA and nudge your ship until it turns enough to expose the solar panels again.

Nightshift83 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 ..soooo my first ever Duna mission seems to be finally coming to an end. Took me weeks with all that planing, building and playing (well I play reeeaally slow). Today it was Ike's turn and everybody is still alive (fingers crossed). Now I'll just build satellites for Moho, Eeloo and Dres as their transfer windows are before my Duna return - oh and a decent shuttle to get my heroes back to KSC and than it'll be science time!!

Superfluous J Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I landed a ship on Eve from orbit and then returned that ship to orbit. Granted, I Hyperedited the ship to Eve, but "getting to Eve" is not the hard part of making an Eve land-and-return vehicle. I'm excited about this game again.

Given you had an engineer onboard, I am surprised you did not repack the chutes in your lander. You might not strictly need them out like that in a vacuum environment like Ike, but you almost certainly will if you intend that lander to return to Kerbin. 38 minutes ago, 5thHorseman said: Granted, I Hyperedited the ship to Eve, but "getting to Eve" is not the hard part of making an Eve land-and-return vehicle. Depends on how you are getting there. Eve is an aerobreaking matchstick, so either you need a lot of transfer fuel, or a lot of heat shielding.

hellblazer Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Created a step by step tutorial on how to setup the 64 Bit workaround, Real Solar System (RSS), Realism Overhaul (RO), and RSS Visual Enhancements (RVE). I put it off for a long time. I show how to install 80+ mods as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermil Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Well, Kronos_C fixing and testing continued, and Mission Control is now satisfied that the vessel is in good condition. Later examination of a previous mishap concluded that the problem likely was not a missing engine, as was first assumed. Oh, I was missing an engine alright, even several, but it is now believed they were knocked off by ejected tanks when the rocket had already started to keel over. The real culprit: Missing fuel lines. So some engine ran out of fuel. That is what had the rocket to become unbalanced. Why were fuel lines missing? Beats me. There was missing plumbing on the later nuclear stages as well. Only explanation is they got inadvertently removed as the rocket went through its modification. That finished, attention returned to our brave gang on Duna. They had one scheduled rover mission left. Down into the basin. It was decided to keep one astronaut behind, that a Taxi operation could be conducted with the other rover, should there be a breakdown. Choosing who, turned out to be easy in the end. Lealian pretty much refused to drive the rover again. This meant that the principle of only female rover drivers on expeditions was broken. Danvey had to drive. Now, mind you, Danvey has proved to be cautious and smart. His landing was really well done. Anyway, Lindra and Danvey set out in the early morning. The drive then was surprisingly easy and fast. It was not so much that it was less steep. It was the matter of more smooth terrain, which made it safe to drive at a decent speed. Only one time was there an incident. For a long while they drove on both two and one wheel. In the end, Danvey managed to make it come down on all four wheels, right side up, no damages. So remarkably soon, they arrived in the basin and took their soil samples. The drive back was even easier, going mostly uphill, which makes the rover more stable. They were back at the rocket in time for lunch. And that actually concludes the job for Danvey, Lealian and Lindra. Now they have about a year of vacation on Duna, before the trip back home. I don't doubt that they will grow potatoes. Meanwhile, Tandan, Sigrid and Bilfal will start on their Laythe adventure. Kronos_C probably launches tomorrow.

I might even stream some on Twitch this weekend if all goes well. If I do a series for this, it'll be kind of a one-off thing but it should be long. I'm doing these Eve ascent tests to see if I want to put the time/effort into "The Ultimate Challenge." I'm putting New Horizons off until 1.1 drops - and all my mods update for it.

That's why I only mess around with planes and some fancy high-tech starships, and not n a real career game. Still I miss your series.

Choctofliatrio2.0 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I am HAPPY! I installed a mod! Yay! RSS wasn't working out, so I installed Kerbal Alarm Clock instead, and it worked great. After that, I got Engineering Tech Tree, and am looking into getting Science Alert later tonight or tomorrow. I'm officially a modder person. Am I cool yet?

(I'll submit a report sooner or later to see if it's a bug). Maybe someday I'll return to Minecraft and get my revenge.... 1 minute ago, DolphinDude3 said: Wait until you have so many mods your game lags and krashs half of the time, then you'll be a cool mod user. XD I'll get right on it. I would like your post, but the forums don't like me liking every post to show my appreciation for everybody's existence.
