I know about the scenario editor, but I'm talking about creating your own shuttle missions using attachment points, velcro/multistage, etc. Either a tutorial or some direction on which documentation to pour over as well as "prereqs"(do I need to learn more LUA? I only have some very basic...

Not on the earth, obviously; more like the moon, even more feasibly, Io. Just get a really fast car(I know, cars don't work in space, lets just say it has an oxygen tank, or actually, since acceleration isn't that big of a problem, just use an electric car), and a long track with a tall(very...

So I just replaced my dad's 32KB calculator that's older than me with a fancy new TI-84. This is mainly for Kerbal Space Program, but it would also come in handy with orbiter and in general. Lets say my MET is 2:4:23:24 or two days, four hours, 23 minutes and 24 seconds. I have a maneuver...

Of course it isn't; what I mean is, I know you're not supposed to store vehicles with gas in them; or if you do, you'll have to replace the gas/richen the mixture to make the engine run properly. Blindly translating this same habit to orbiter, I always drain fuel at my terrestrial bases; and...

I've had pretty bad experiences with headsets in the past, particularly with having to fidget midwire volume controls to play sound in both earpieces. I'm looking for something snugly fitting; full ear covers, with a microphone, and sturdy. I like to feel like a high-tech pilot, but I don't...

I've fallen in love with the "Energy Project" addon; my favorite rocket by far, and I use it for launching most of my spacecraft and payloads, but the problem is, it isn't strong enough. I want something to be able to launch a fully loaded XR5(450 tons like in the title), and that I can spawn in...

So I was thinking of a design for a sci-fi g suit, to sustain intense acceleration for interstellar antimatter-propelled ships, or accelerating past the speed of light(that's an entirely separate discussion, though); mainly just for fun. I know the main problems from humans sustaining high gs...

Right, so I'm using the Quasar 471 super heavy lift rocket; I've already managed to SPAWN an XR5 by changing the scenario file to have a payload, but what I would like to do is launch it, land it, park it in a hanger, taxi it out later, put some crew and payload in, strap it to a rocket again...

After the separation of the first stage, skirt-step(spelled right?) and tower, after a few minutes(I'd estimate 3) the autopilot quits on me; always at what seems like the same time. I've turned off non-spherical gravity, advanced flight dynamics, gradient, etc, I've disabled some graphic...

Interplanetary mfd tangential transfer: "unable to create orbit for this mjd" I'm using the latest version; 5.5 So anyway, the tangential transfer works fine; I can set target to moon, src to self, reference earth, hit autoburn and it takes me where I want to go. There's one very annoying...

Right, so after becoming familiar with docking and moon landing, I thought I'd try my hand at interplanetary travel. After spending a few hours fumbling around and studying various tutorials and videos, I think I became familiar with the procedures. Unfortunately, I've tried about 5 times to get...

Hi, so, after numerous attempts, a lot of learning and getting more experienced, I managed to land(okay, crash) on the moon, using a delta-glider. I have no idea when to apply full thrust for the HTO. I'm aware of how to use it, and I've checked, double checked, and rechecked to make sure I know...
