Although the problem I have is not because of the capsule rolling, it's the parachute not functioning properly, since it won't slow the capsule down until it hit some height, which some mountain is above of...

[Rose]

Yes, landing on a mountain is a bad idea, but mostly because of the slope. For whatever reason, you're more likely to blow up when landing on a slope, just rolling down a slope may be enough to get you to blow up.

Btw, did anyone try using capsule-mobiles yet? The gyros on those capsules seem to be good enough to let them roll along the ground easily.

I've done it, but steering is an issue.

a solid booster under the capsule isn't quite cylindrical enough to go in a straight line, but you can go rather well.

[Supercharazad]

I used the SASs as wheels

[Micro102]

So what is a good altitude to reach? And can you get there by spamming liquid engines and wings?

[Peewee]

Well it's possible to orbit anywhere above ~34.5km, so try for that, and yes to the engines, probably no to the wings.

You can simply edit the part.cfg of the chute and increase that altitude, you know.

Already fixed in 0.9, like I already said.

Kerbal Space Program 0.9 EXPERIMENTAL 6
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6b74seboyjrls3z/KSP_win_0_9_x6.zip

Bug Fixes on 0.9X6:
* Fixed a problem with the input settings screen on low resolutions
* Set minimum resolution to 800x600
* Fixed an oversight on our part that would prevent the fullscreen setting from being saved.
* Fixed some parts that were out of date on the distribution

And I did say that it's not functioning for me when I'm playing 0.9...
Anyway, I'll try .9x6 to see if that's fixed or not...if I'm lucky enough to land on mountain again that is...

Bluh, bluh, I missed that.  In any case...
Make sure you've actually updated the parts, as that is controlled via a setting in the parachute CFG.
Obviously make sure that you're not using a custom parachute that isn't updated, or make sure you do the updating yourself.

[onyhow]

Oh thanks...but I'm only using official parts from .9x3...still will try to update though...

[Micro102]

Do you unlock extra parts or something? I hear people talking about parts I haven't seen and all I have are 1 liquid rocket, 1 solid rocket, 1 fuel, the pod with the built in SAS and no other pod, 2 types of wings, 2 types of detachers (is there any difference between the 2?) and the tri-thing. And the parachute.

[onyhow]

Nah...I'm only use those basic parts you've listed...
The difference between 2 types of decoupler is one is detach from bottom and another one is on the side...

Modding, bro.
There's tons of custom parts on the official forums.
Just be wary that they're all for 0.8.5 so far, as far as I know, so they won't be fully supported in 0.9 (like the parachute ground raytracer...)

Decouplers: One is vertical, one is horizontal. 

[Sensei]

You know, I want 45 degree decoupler...

[Peewee]

So put a few decouplers chained together, you get the same effect.

Also, 0.9.0 is out.
