Why do mods update for .22 and not include tech levels in the parts?  They cannot actually be unlocked in career mode...

[Siquo]

Just let mechjeb play the whole game for you. Saves so much time and trouble.

Because losing a probe you invested tons of time in due to a mechanic that's not realistic is fun!

Because bringing a rocket you've brought into orbit 5000 times before is super fun!

*cough*quicksave*cough*

Thanks!

Alright, question time again, kiddos!

This spaceplane is pissing me off. It can go at frigging hypersonic speeds but I can't complete orbit because the rocket engine uses up too much oxidizer. I tried others and they do the same thing. Fuel isn't a problem.

Is there any way to fix this besides making more fuel tanks?

[Putnam]

Use jet engine fuselages for jet engines; they don't have oxidizer because they don't need oxidizer, while rockets require both.

Possibly so that you can use it in Sandbox without screwing literally everything up and they haven't had time to go through all the files and techify them.

...Oh.

Here's mechjeb. http://jenkins.mumech.com/job/MechJeb2/

I got it and even modified the part to be researched in basic rocketry, but it still doesn't show up.

Theo whole "MechJeb2_AR202" goes in the parts folder and the MechJeb2.dll goes in the plugins folder right?

[Sean Mirrsen]

No. All mods are installed into the GameData folder now. The folder and the DLL go into the same folder. At least that's how all other mods I installed work.

So "\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\MechJeb2\Parts"?

[Putnam]

Yes.

Let's put a space station hub around Jool for moon trips.

Let's forget comms on said hub entirely.

The station orbital speed is 6660.6 m/s and it's pointing at Jool. I think I recreated the conditions for Event Horizon. Tom Kermin is freaking out. I await the day I link up a power hub and Tom gouges out his own eyes.

So I have a kerbalnaut currently on an escape velocity from Minmus and am not quite sure how to get him home.  I have a metric buttload of fuel on board but I only have 1.82 electric charge left (out of 1150, very wasteful of me) so I don't have the luxury of experimenting around with a lot of different thrust vectors.  What's the best way to get on a collision course with the atmosphere?

[mainiac]

You can manually deploy parachutes?  That's insane.  Can you deploy them outside the atmosphere?

[mainiac]

Glad to say he made it home safe but that was my personal Apollo 13.  Although we landed on the moon (and left an engine there!) so I guess I'm better then NASA at this.

[Girlinhat]

Play with maneuver nodes, you've got time.  The -basic- idea is to put your maneuver node on the dark side of Minmus, and to tweak the thrust until you get an escape that sends you under 65km peri to Kerbin.  Kerbin atmosphere is 70km edge, so aim below that.  If you can get a direct collision with no peri, then just deploy chutes and wait.
