You can update from the game.

That just checks to see if there are updates available, you still have to go to the site to download the new version.

Just so some of you know, there's a ghetto hack for a cloning tool.
Quote
First, create the set of parts you want to copy. Then pull it off the rocket and leave it there.
Then, Hit Ctrl+Z. The frozen parts are not taken into account when undoing/redoing, so the moved parts will be created again, and the frozen copy will remain.

So, I used a bunch of big fuel rockets to try and get myself up to start with.... They didn't work. I scratched my head and tried to see if the next stage would work. So, I decoupled it.

Suddenly, the big fuel rockets were working and shot me up into the sky.

Why did this happen?

Are you sure everything was set up in the right order?

As in, you checked that you didn't have the rockets activating in the same phase as you decoupled them?

100% certain.

Well this was a fun last hour:

Spoiler: Pics (click to show/hide)

In short: Successful orbit with default parts. But the attempts to get them back down were... less than successful, causing them to be stuck in an orbit that has an apogee of 140 km and a perigee of 37 km (so close). What is strange is how it looks like the terrain is spinning during part of the orbit. Could just be illusion, but it makes it look like I'm circling one of the poles or something rather than going in a straight orbit.
But I did pass the launchpad twice.

At least Jebediah is happy with how things turned out.

Yes, passing the poles causes weird stuff to happen. Known bug.

RF, I believe it is a known bug that when the first stag won't lift (because of weight), if you decouple them, they count as having zero weight, thus allowing them to thrust you up.

So I built a rocket with multiple capsules, gave them parachutes, and ejected them with the boosters they were on top of. Turns out that (a) their parachutes don't work, and (b) there are clones of the crew in each capsule!

Bob, Bill, and Jeb died so many times.

Shadowlord, they do work, except the stage has to be attached to the main command pod when you activate it.
