Holy crap!! First docking ever! Im stoked It only took me an hour to by magical chance get close enough (made our orbits come within .2km) and then took me another hour to freaking dock the thing, man this is weird stuff. I need to play with the docking controls more

After staying up too late I managed to make an aircraft and a rocket off sorts.
First we have the Idiot 1 I forgot to add any real control surfaces besides the front canards amazingly if I pushed downwards on the yoke it managed to fly a bit like how the XFY-1 Pogo flew. Second we have Yojimbo the idea behind the name is that you would need a wicked ronin swordsman to kill anyone that tired to get you to ride in it.I did manage to get just on the edge of space but then dropped back down to the ground. Anyway I can see having lots of fun with this game hobbling something together is as much fun as actually designing a successful aircraft. |

I've been working on getting a circular orbit with "Givemevodka III" and well... my very first 'successful' Orbit ended up as an Elliptical Orbit....
I can't get the rocket to stay where it should be while I'm adjusting, but I'll get there... (using trial ver til I can afford the better version) Checking back on it before I posted, it seems to have worked, I'm still in the orbit track, guess it's successful on the part that I actually entered orbit...

Yay! The first engine mod is available : http://kerbalspaceport.com/0-18-1-kw...ry-overhauled/
The limited amount of stock engines was the biggest downsize of upgrading to .18, as I love having a huge choice. Apparently the guy who released one of my favorite mods, Nova Punch, is also working on an update of his amazing work! Actually there is a bug in the new version, where the big engine tends to overheat more than intended when attaching it directly to the huge orange tank. Try putting the small, grey one on top of the engine and you will notice a difference in the engine behaviour. |

KW Rocketry does add some nice engines to the game, but the 3M engine choices are a little lacking. Also, the mod seems to remove the textures from the launch tower for some reason.

Launch tower without texture is a bug in 18.1 I believe.
I have it as well. |

Ah, turns out .18.1 broke it.

Yeah, when the tanks start to dance it's a sign of bad things to come if you're unlucky.

Task Force Space corp. proudly presents... the Doomed space junk deluxe mk 2!
Made it to munar orbit with fuel to spare! kinda. Better than the DSJD prot Mk 1 that could only seem to get into orbit around the sun.

So when designing a rocket/spacecraft how to I align something like say a control surface? Lets say that i want to align a control surface with the edge of a wing.How do I do that?(there must be some key that lets me rotate items as I like rather than having to be stuck with what the game sort of auto picks)
I know about the symmetry button and the angle button.Another example one of the egress ladders you must be able to align them as you wish as well. |

With the WASDQE keys you can adjust the part's rotation.
And when holding Shift you can adjust in small increments. |
