Hello! New dude here

Hey guys, I've been playing KSP for quite some time, and lurking these forums. I just uploaded my first gameplay on Youtube just now.

There are a couple things I had questions about though. When I drop off the bombs/gliders and switch control to them, why does the gimbal start all screwed up? I have to right click control from here on the guidance unit in order to get the thing right. It makes no sense. As soon as I switch to the unit I CAN control it, the gimbal is just off by like 90 Degrees in 2 directions and some of the control keys are reversed. Makes no sense.

Also once the bomb gets a certain distance from the plane I can no longer switch back to the plane, even if I go into the map view. Whats up with that?

I know my audio commentary track is a little bit off here in the video, I am still learning how to edit!!! If you guys have any feed back let me know. I'll be tweaking this plane a little bit before it goes on space port.

-Thanks!

Welcome to the community ReeceEngineering

The second point I can answer, you are going beyond physics range, and it was decided a long time ago to limit the range at which you could change vessels with the square bracket keys so you were not having to cycle between dozens or more flights.

This range limit is not tweakable in the stock game unfortunately.

As for the first point, KSP is using another part as its control origin on those gliders, though from looking at them I don't see what part would be used, as only parts that can control should be used as the origin point.

Thanks for the feed back! I was hoping it wasn't something I was doing wrong. Now I just need to learn how to capture 1080p screen play on a mac AND get the audio track to over lay properly….

I wouldn't know how to do that

Post production editing maybe?

Yea I just need to learn how to use iMovie basically.
