Hello KSP Forums!

I've been playing stock KSP for a few months, but (inspired by the KSP to Mars videos) I'm now trying to get to grips with flying rockets in a realistic Earth sized system with a bunch of realism mods! So I thought it was about time to start posting here

Flying out from the real KSC over the real Earth is pretty cool - I can get out of the atmosphere pretty easily, but I haven't made orbit yet...

Welcome to the forum MB. It's a hell of a ride. I'm sure you "will be going to space today". If not you'll have fun trying.

OOOO, RSS, good choice. You will need a metric buttload of dV to reach orbit I can tell you that much.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

If I have more memory for KSP, I might try RSS.

So it took a little while, and some minor tinkering with mods (I might try and put my exact mod install somewhere if the mod licences let me so others can try RSS without so much research) - but I made orbit around Earth:

Hooray!

If you want more tips, tricks, and tutorials, visit the KSP wiki page! Keep up the good work!

So I thought I would try and get an easily installable bundle with all the mods I'm using together.

I've outlined the idea over on the Add-ons forum and I'm contacting people to try and clarify a couple of license issues.
