I have not played the game very much. But I can not for the life of me: Get an encounter with the target craft to dock with And dock without ramming into it at 40m/s and destroying both craft. How do you do this? I really want to get fully into space and refuelling stations.

Link to YouTube video, the plane is a very simple design, it uses no hinges or tilting making it pretty easy to use, but not super controllable in hovering mode. The Yardbird utilizes 5 panther engines, three for vertical thrust lift and two for forward thrust. The rearmost upward thrust engine has the thrust limiter set to 73 to get the CoM and vertical CoT to match up properly. It flies quite well for a very rudimentary design and it was built entirely on console by me, a complete noob. The Yardbird also features clamp o tron docking ports for refuelling which makes it quite fun to fly long distances and refuel.

I know that RSS makes it so the Solar System is tilted so that Earth is completely straight (in terms of axis). Is there any way I can change it so I see a sort of "centered" view, with the planets all "flat", and with Earth tilted, instead of everything else? This is really tripping me up.

Confusion

I ask this because while I could get the bundle on Steam that contains the base game and both DLC packs (I already have the base game, so I'd only be paying for the DLC) at 15% off, I feel like I should wait for a better discount. The problem is that the last time I checked the DLC packs' price tags during a Steam sale (I don't remember whether it was the Autumn Sale of 2024 or the Winter Sale of the same year), they weren't on sale.

I haven't installed graphics mods in a while , and for the first time I'm also using TUFX, and I'm getting this weird issue only when it's installed. Even with the empty profile. Is there any way to get rid of it? Or is uninstalling TUFX the only fix? For graphics, I'm using scatterer, deferred rendering, parallax,DOE,AVP,TUFX.

so im currently modding my game what else would u reccomend to add?

what mods would u add to the list?

KSP 1 Mods

Ok so i have a really old pc that can run ksp just fine with some mods and so. But the problem is always with the latest versions of Scatterer they just freezes my game when kerbin loads on the main menu. And an AMD popup says something about a timed out error, so the only option is basically playing without Scatterer, but when i installed Volumetric Clouds and replaced the folders, i saw Scatterer, and def the same thing happened. It freezes, sooo is there any possible way that i can run Volumetric Clouds without Scatterer? Also i tried just deleting Scatterer but the Clouds dont apear (the rest is fine, EVE Runs just fine its only Scatterer) (Also i have KSP 1.11.1)

Hi!

I am searching for a way to build a rather "compact" but still realistic Duna interplanetary vehicle. I tried doing one on big scale (it looked a bit like the Hermes from "The Martian") but that drops my framerate significantly. Sure I could just send a normal rocket to Duna, but that would mean that I my Kerbals have to spend the whole journey in a tin can, thats why i dont wanna do that. That means I need some tips about what such a spacecraft needs to be realistic, how big it should be etc... (Of course you can include mods, I have a lot of them installed specifically for such spacecraft)

Thanks!
