yes: M!

Well, my challenge kinda got superseded by the release, so I guess I will be replacing it with the actual return trip to Laithe mission.

Also, about docking, couldn't you do a direct launch to dock manoeuvre, by launching say 5 min before the target passed overhead? then using the flight planner?

EDIT: the time it took to write this was about the same time it took to DL KSP.
Good job on the server guys, much better than .17

Doing that makes it a hell of a lot easier, as you only need a few orbits to catch up/slow down inline with your target. if you launch on opposite sides of the planet, you're looking at more like half a dozen orbits of waiting

God damnit, how to I keep my planes from flipping around as soon as I'm in the air?

Usually you wait for the ferram aereospace mod to come and fix the silly drag model

But make sure your wings are for the most part behind the center of gravity and try not to exceed with the angle of attack

Put more stuff on the back.

new version is great!

first thing I did, was to send a satellite in orbit around kerbin. worked great, but due to poor launcher design it is in a polar orbit.
second thing I did, I strapped a barometer to a solid rocket booster, and got a good idea of how atmosphere pressure changes with altitude.
which will be useful when I'll need to throttle engines in more advanced designs

The patcher is worthless right now. 6AM PST. Using alternative means.

[andrea]

you sure? I used the patcher a couple of hours ago and it was fine.

edit: did you download the new patcher?

Those big solar panels... where are they? can't seem to find them in the menu's

They're in the utilities menu (or whichever one has all the other solar panels), but they're listed a bit further up than the smaller designs.

Yes, I did. It just sits around and crashes.

Windows version.

[LoSboccacc]

which platform/version?

[Morrigi]

New patcher works for me, 10:15 CST

Same problem as BigD here. Had it since 17.1, again.

[Twi]

I get a window that says:

Code: [Select]

CLR error: 80004005.
The program will now terminate.

[BigD145]

Mine just cuts out after awhile without an error message. The last thing in the patch log is "[INFO] Waiting for server to process file manifest..."

Oh well. There is a torrent and it works. I'm a legitimate customer that bought when it was first offered at $7 or 8. The server is apparently busy and I've just avoided making it busier.
