How do you people bring up those progress maps, did I miss a button someplace?

[LoSboccacc]

press M (from version .11 up  )

also, you may try to delete the config and create a new one with defaults settings if it doesn't work.

New personal best of 8088.1 m/s using only stock vanilla parts. The horrible FPS I get is probably the only thing preventing me from making it larger. I pretty much have to rely on SAS's to control anything larger then a single stager.

I found that ASAS works pretty well with nose-mounted control surfaces. The takeoff is wobbly as hell because it doesn't seem to know how to "gradually" apply steering, but the system manages to keep it all straight.

edit: this thing, for instace, flies straight up without RCS:

dance rocket, dance!

[Kaleb702 Games]

Has anyone tried a decoupler powered shuttle?

That should actually be unstable because of how tri-couples work. There is apparently a bug where one of the nodes doesn't get as much thrust or some such.

I need to get back to working on my lander craft. Trying powered landings is fun as hell, especially if you have a friend call out your altitued so all you have to watch is your speed and fuel.

Even if tricouplers provide instability, they're only at the bottom of the rocket, and they're in tri-simmetry themselves, so on the overall the rocket is balanced.

I shouldn't say anything about rocket stability really, mine always topple over. I was just relaying what I've heard from the forums.

Let there be Mun.

Experimental 0.12.1x1 has been released.

[monk12]

Whee!

*10 minutes later*

...am I the only one who can't move the command capsule? Y'know, to make the rocket taller?

[Aqizzar]

Damn the Internet.  There exists no good video clip anywhere of that Ren and Stimpy episode where they look at the moon.

I can't wait to crash into it, but damn will this take some finesse.

...am I the only one who can't move the command capsule? Y'know, to make the rocket taller?

Moves around fine for me.  You just click on it to pick it up, then put it down wherever.  Might be a platform-specific bug.

[TheBronzePickle]

Well, with some lightly-boosted basic parts, I was able to get a Munar orbit. I may have boosted the base parts a little bit more than necessary, but all's well that ends in the kerbalnauts getting home from their little trip.

Edit: Are the water effects new or have they been around and I just missed them?

[RulerOfNothing]

The water effects (by which I assume you mean stuff like buoyancy) has been in KSP since 0.11.

[Charmander]

I crashed on the Mun.
