TerranCmdr Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hi guys. I found out about this game from another forum I frequent and let me just say I\'m in love! After messing around with the stock parts for a while I decided to install NovaPunch (old version, I\'m still running .13 until I get another paycheck) and I\'ve been having a blast with that!Anyway after 3 failures I managed to have a successful landing on the Mun and and nearly successful return trip. Don\'t quite know how I messed up the return, I was burning and didn\'t see my apoepsis, so I kept burning until I ran out of fuel. Oh well, next time!So here\'s a video of my voyage for anyone interested. I\'ll probably have a video of my Mun rocket progression soon as well. (This was rocket version 7 )Cheers!

sal_vager Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 That was a really good vid, I enjoyed that, never seen that shadow when the camera is near the ground though.I guess your brave Kerbolnauts are orbiting the sun now next time try raising your orbit in the direction opposite the Muns direction of travel, when you switch to Kerbins sphere of influence you\'ll be in an orbit with a lowish Periapsis, it took me ages to figure that out.I hope you do more movies, and welcome to the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranCmdr Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks guys!Yeah, that shadow was kinda weird, at first I thought it was the shadow of Kerbin or something but was surprised when it went away when I pulled the camera out.Thanks for the tip, I\'ll definitely try that out the next time I make a Mun voyage.And keep your eyes peeled for more movies! Glad you liked my first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryten Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yeah, that shadow was kinda weird, at first I thought it was the shadow of Kerbin or something but was surprised when it went away when I pulled the camera out.That\'s exactly what it is. It moves like that because shadows are currently only drawn for a short distance around the camera.And welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to tilt the camera up past the ground? I would have loved to have gotten a shot of that eclipse, now that I know that\'s what it was.
