Hello KSPers

[Biff Space]

Hi everyone.

For the last ten days or so, this game has taken over my life. Amazing stuff.

Currently I'm winding down my Minmus base and starting one up on the Mun. I spent ages this morning trying to right a flipped rover, by bowling kerbals at it - ker-bowling?

Thanks to all the people who've posted pics and answered questions - I've found loads of useful info here.

Hi Biff Space, welcome to the forums. That's certainly an interesting way of righting an upside-down rover, did it work?

[Biff Space]

Thanks for the welcome, Kasper!

Yes, I righted a rover of about 900 Kg on the Mun by sliding a Kerbal on his head very fast under the middle of the rover's tilted-up edge. It's a very hit and miss method, and took about a dozen attempts. I've given the Kerbal the rest of the day off. Is there an easier way? Standing under the rover and jetpacking upwards didn't budge it at all.

Nope your right using a Kerbal to flip it is usaly the best way to do it. (Unless you have something else to push it over with) a good trick is to add enough reaction wheels to roll it back over if it flips

[Biff Space]

Hmm, tried adding reaction wheels and the rover went mad, wheels tipping up whenever I tried to change direction. Obviously doing something wrong.

Switch to docking mode if you don't want to use the reaction wheels. It's the little blue circle tab by the green staging one over on the bottom left. Click it.

Or you can toggle the reaction wheels by right-clicking/setting up an action group.
