Launchpad's location?


Recommended Posts

I was playing around on the Mun with a cart, when a driving error led to the premature death of 3 poor Kerman.

So once again I have to launch a ship and land it on the Mun.

My question is, is it possible to change the location of the launchpad using a plugin, in a similar way the Mun\'s orbit can be changed? (though the Mun orbits Kerbin, while the launchpad has (probably) set coordinates).

Even if the full platform can\'t be moved, the most important thing would be the ability to change the spawn of the ship.

(and yes I did think about saving my persistence file before crashing, but in case I want to try something different...)

Or can this be done through editing the persistence file? (I can\'t seem to do that, as even changing only one digit corrupts the whole save)

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this :)

Don\'t edit your persistence.sfs with WordPad, or Microsoft word, or anything similar. use notepad or notepad++.

Also, moving the launchpad is probably impossible, but it is possible to move the entire ship to another place, it seems.

Now that I think about it, I tried to modify the persistence.sfs file with GetDiz, and I\'m not sure about the way it can alter the file.

Moving the ship alone would be pretty good too, and is in fact the main thing I\'d like to do.

For the time being, I\'ll try and play with the persistence.sfs and see if I can put some ships in low orbit around the Mun.

Thanks for your answer!
