Zackaresh Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I came here in search for help with my Saitek X52pro, but then stayed and lurked around a bit.I really liked the overall tone of these forums and got a lot of inspiration out of the Spacecraft Exchange.So I guess it's time for me to say hi!I've been playing KSP now for about two weeks and it's a blast!The highlights so far:Built and subsequently rebuilt a low kerbin orbit space station, with its own overly complicated service tug for the big fueltanks:Olympus AlphaDocking is quite hard! But seeing that camera change for the first time after those ports decided to finally like each other, was one of the most gratifying moments I experienced in my (quite long) gaming "career".Went and built a fueldepot in orbit around the Mün (I'm planning to build a mining base there):Fuel DepotAnd I am now in the process of designing a modular system to move around my future base modules without adding wheels to every single one of them. I might be a bit ahead of myself there, since I never even attempted to land anywhere.But that's the great thing about KSP... there's always the next thing to do!Cheers!

tstehler1 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I use the X52 Pro myself... a fine piece of machinery. I have the fire button set as my staging button (equivalent to the spacebar), so that the safety cover prevents me from accidentally pressing it right in the middle of a burn, turning my space explorers into space exploders.Good luck on your future projects! And click on the ribbon in my signature for a cool little thing you can do.Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AletzN1 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 2 weeks? Seriously ?! I was building spaceplanes at 2 weeks! I didnt make space stations at 2 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackaresh Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 I use the X52 Pro myself... a fine piece of machinery. Yeah I have it set up the same way, but I just can't use it at the moment. I experience severe input delay (1-2 seconds) and random button command repeats. I'll do some tests tonight and post a detailed support request in the appropriate forum here. But after initial research, it seems to be a problem with saiteks 64bit drivers and Unity3D. Problably nothing Squad can do about that.The ribbon generator looks awesome, thanks for the link.

Zackaresh Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hehe, I on the other hand never even visited the spaceplane hangar. To each his own I guess :-DCrashed my first base module on the Mün yesterday... I guess trying to savely drop such a big weight spacecrane style is a bit overambitious for my first landing :-DF9 to the rescue!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zackaresh Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Abandoned the Mün-Base and went for Minmus as landing there is waaaaay easier.Learned a lot during final approach...Success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zackaresh Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I crashed the whole contraption about 10 times into the Mün before admitting that I'm not ready for it yet.So I went to Minmus. It is a lot easier to land there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
