I did one of the Kerbal rescue contracts with no upgrades to anything other than my launch pad and VAB. I have my orbit within 3k of the Kerbal, but I can't switch to him to get him over to the waiting capsule. Is there another upgrade I need to get him aboard?

I'm getting pretty good with manual landing anyway. My only bad landing was the first manned ship with Jeb (the center of mass was too high, so it tipped over), but I sent him a rescue probe and have had a couple of science probes land since then. I haven't even installed MechJeb in .90 and probably won't for a while.

I decided to install MechJeb to help with a couple of tedious tasks, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting it working. The last time I installed it was well over a year ago, on a different PC. I downloaded the newest version (updated for .90) from Curse and extracted the MechJeb2 folder to KSP's GameData folder. Right now, it's the only custom thing in there, along with Squad and NASAmission. When I start the game in Sandbox mode, I see two copies of the AR-202 MechJeb component in the Command & Control section. One costs 550, the other costs 750. They're otherwise identical, as far as I can tell. I can add either one to my vehicle, but when I go to launch, I don't get a MechJeb window or button anywhere on my screen. Am I missing something here? I remember setting this up on a very old version of KSP and didn't have any issues.

Delete the one you have and unpack the latest build from Mumech. See if that fixes it for you. I guess I can uninstall and reinstall KSP entirely. Ugh.

Grand Fromage posted:Motherfucker docking is annoying. Is there any mod to add autodocking that doesn't require sticking a part on? I already have pieces of a space station in orbit and have been trying to dock two of them for an hour and I'm done with this, it's not fun. Are you having more trouble matching the orbits of the pieces, or with the final approach and docking (getting the docking ports to line up)? If it's the latter, are you using the translation controls rather than your main engines and rotation? Assuming you have omni-directional RCS ports, you can use the IJKL keys to move horizontally and vertically without rotating, and the H and N keys to use the RCS jets to accelerate forward/back. You may already know all this, but I didn't the first time I tried to dock, and holy poo poo was it a pain in the rear end.

karl fungus posted:Wait, what? How? Rockomax monopropellant tank, two of the oblong monopropellant tanks, eight of those little monopropellant radial engines, an OCTO-2, a small reaction wheel, and a buttload of solar panels. You can just barely make it into orbit. Edit: I just realized that this is technically my first SSTO rocket. Too bad it's completely pointless and runs out of power within milliseconds of passing into Kerbin's shadow. WhiteHowler fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Jan 7, 2015 |
