open green circle- where you are moving (tvv)

Green circle with lines- opposite where you are moving

Purple circle- opposite the launch pad

purple circle with lines- points toward the launch pad

the purple ones might be switched. Ill check later

all of which is explained in the flight tutorial.

another question, how do/where do i put my craft files to be downloaded. and how do i post screenshots?

[Spoot Knight]

When making a reply there\'s 'Attachments and other options' below the post box for posting your craft. F1 makes screenshots ingame, which you then post by using an image hosting service, and using the image tag.

When doing a Mun landing, what\'s your touchdown velocity need to be so your craft doesn\'t break apart?

Did a Mun landing with stock parts, touched down going 4.3 m/s and my spacecraft came apart -- didn\'t blow up, just disintegrated with everything winding up intact. Again

I take it most people just let ASAS handle it.

[Hypocee]

ASAS doesn\'t handle touchdown, though it can handle keeping your craft vertical while you play with RCS.

Touching down on the Mün is still a bit weird sometimes, but the number one rule is do not take the impact on your engine bell; LFEs in particular just can\'t take any impact. There are people whose ships have Jengad at .1m/s touchdowns. Strap on some dedicated lander legs or improvise with SRBs or winglets and decouplers if you want for vanilla.

Yeah, you\'ll need something a bit sturdier to actually make contact on the moon with. I survived a landing today at the same speed you posted, 4.3 m/s using an engine from the Down Under pack (the efficient 120 thrust one). I only barely bumped Mun before I fired my engine up again because my craft was very narrow and would have toppled and exploded
