hi all and why?

[buckau]

Hi all I do not know if this is the correct place to be but I will try.

I have been using this program now for a few weeks and have been trying to build a space station its taking me several days to build the modules and launch then and get them assembled in a geo orbit, but every time I get to the 4th or 5th stage or go back to the station to take a look it just blows up! Can any one explain to me why this is and how can I stop it from happening.

Thanks all

I'd love to help a newbie! Everybody's gotta start somewhere.

I'd reccomend posting a few pictures of your spacecrafts and the station you have done so far. It could be that something is touching something else in the wrong spot, but I can't offer much help otherwise. Could you tell me a bit more about the problem?

F1 to take screenshots which can be found in the KSP directory. F2 to hide the HUD (not really necessary). Posting the pictures will require a way of image hosting such as imgur.

Your station is way too big, and your picture is way too small. (#.#)

I'm sorry, but those pics are too small for me to see. But when I had a similar problem, it turned out to be that Kerbals left in external seats were (who knows why?) causing the explosions. Do you have any of those on the station?

The pictures are almost avatar sized, I can't see the details.

buckau, in imgur, click the image(s) so that a popup window with a larger image shows. Then click the image in this popup so that the image has its on browser tab/page and is shown in full. Then post the link of that to the forums.

I had this problem on an old craft of mine. It was huge but every time i switched to it. It would explode.

I found out that it was the modded parts on the ship. Built an almost identical one with stock parts and never had a problem (think it was nova punch)

Also try turning the "SAS" off if u can

Thanks to all for the help with this problem. Still have the problem but am working on a solution.

I have another problem when I try to launch large ships and get to about 4000 m to 16000m the ship starts to turn to the left and then spines end over end, I am using mech jeb ascent, can anyone offer any solution to this

Thanks

You probably don't have enough control, but might I suggest you post questions in the Question and Answer thread? You will get far more responses.

I heard there were still problems during 0.22 causing space stations to explode, which were fixed in 0.23. You might want to duplicate the save over to a new version and see how well it performs. I also noticed you're using some of the modded parts. Which mods do you have installed?

I think you can have one of the Mods shift the thread over to the Question and Answer thread, or you might be able to do it yourself.
