You should really call this "Manley mode landing"

[Aphobius]

It can be done, but not in a "scientific" way, since you miss a lot of vital data (I think you can't even see the altitude while you are in the cockpit).

[Sirine]

You got pretty much information at cockpit view.

[Aphobius]

Except the altitude. =)) (joking, you miss much more)

Maybe I'm wrong about the altitude, but I don't know how you would read altitudes over 100km on that altimeter (I'm not home so I can't check it).

[Sirine]

Well, OP....can I press the "M" for map view?

If not, that will be pretty hard.

If yes, that will be super easy.

[Aphobius]

He said it already.

"You can only use cockpit view!"

Ok, we spam this topic too much, I'll post an entry a little later, after I get home, I can do it pretty easily, but it's going to be very "kerbal".

[Oxytropis]

Make sure and switch it to 1080p. Video is 2x speed to stay under the 15min YouTube restrictions.

If you bind your science experiments to an action group, you can still get science despite being in IVA.

Do what Manley did: run through it several times using all the other views until you can do it without maneuver nodes, and then until you can do it without map view. Write down all the burn times and durations while you're at it so you have a reference when you're in the cockpit view.

Watch Manley's video closely; he didn't do that without preparation.

That's to much work, just do it once viewing normally to get a feel for it, then do it. The only thing you have to remember from your first run is the speed you need to be going to reach the Mun and your heading, and neither has to be dead on exact for the mun.

Thanks Oxytropis for the first submission, i cant wait to see more, i wait to about 5-10 before i give the scores. and ill keep scoring beyond that if more people show up!

Maybe I'm wrong about the altitude, but I don't know how you would read altitudes over 100km on that altimeter (I'm not home so I can't check it).

All manned pods have an altimeter, and I'm pretty sure it takes the altitude from ground level rather than sea level. You read altitudes above 100km by looking out the window and determining how far away from something you are, then comparing it to the altitude reading. If you're beyond 100km then unless you're trying to do an IVA-only mission to Jool it doesn't really matter.

Ok, as promised:

Entry (or whatever xD this is not serious)

I've streamed it on twitch earlier, evil people, no one told me that my microphone is making that noise, my voice is annoying anyway, you can mute it. It was the second time I was explaining it, so the explanations are not complete, so you better mute it.

You can start the scoreboard, my time seems to be 12:26:50. But you'll have a surprise if anyone tries to beat me.

EDIT: To make it a little more interesting would be nice to add a new rule, to require to land on ground, without any damage. Crashing randomly on the dark side of Kerbin is a little obnoxious.

Fist score board! (so far)

1st place: Aphobius with 12:16:50

2nd place: Oxytropis with 1:17:39:08

[Aphobius]

My time was 12:26:50, not 12:16:50.

You can edit the first post and put the scoreboard there, so it's easier for everyone to find it.

Now I've realized it, you better say it in the rules that debug console is not allowed (seems pretty obvious that you wouldn't like this), before this gets full with infinite fuel people.

At 2:30 did you use the most annoying action effect in the world; camera shaking?

Was getting bored, started shaking the mouse. the 2x speed makes it look twice as bad.
