Hello, I've been having a bit of trouble with the Mercury command pod. No matter what I do I can't seem to make the cabin pressurised. It's filled with all the appropriate resources (oxygen, water, electricity etc.), I have also attempted to use the life support config engine to no effect.

I find this confusing because the Vostok pod seems to support pressurisation automatically.

I'm sorry if I'm missing a very easy solution but I just can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I hope it's ok if I ask here!

Is anyone able to help me please? im trying to set up my sepeerate launch sites with KK but the issue is that they cant be seen in the VAB construction time, if i assembled everything in the SPH i could see it but not in the VAB, anyone know a fix?

No Realism Overhaul or Smurff or Mechjeb

This is my first manned landing on another planet in rss

This is the hardest thing i have ever done in kerbal space program

im trying to figure out how to setup my return path to avoid over g with reentry, and setting the capsule for lifting isnt enough to avoid GLOC

were they removed or something? i can't find them anywhere in mechjeb

edit: found it out, you open settings and hit "reset to factory settings"

É como se eu estivesse aprendendo a jogar de novo

so the procedural panels with tracking on, do not rotate to the sun. but oddly its only seems to be a visual thing as they are still powering even when visually pointing away form the sun, i triple checked tracking being on but same story, never rotates

Anyone else ever have a problem with the throttle control on the keyboard? The engine responds to Z and X (full on/ full off) but nothing happens when I try to use control or shift. It’s a throttleable LM descent engine, RCS seems to work as it should and my avionics are properly configured and functioning. My comm links are strong and I have surplus electrical supply. Am I missing something really basic here or is it a bug in the game? I don’t think I’ll be able to pull off a lunar landing without throttle control.

• December 31st 2035: "Swim Back" ascent by balloon at 8 m/s. Second balloon inflates at an altitude of 60 km. 5 hours 40 minutes to reach 100 km. Rocket ascent at 100 km. Burn until apoapsis of 1,000 km. Atmospheric drag reduces the apoapsis to 855 km. 551 m/s to enter orbit. 3000 m/s total.
• January 2nd 2036: Rendezvous and docking of "Swim Back" with “Fatty.”
• February 13th 2036: 4790 m/s burn to set course for Earth.
• July 21st 2037: Interplanetary maneuver at 340 m/s.
• July 5th 2040: Maneuver to land on solid ground in Southeast Asia. 4 m/s.
• August 5th 2040: Reentry of the Titan samples into Earth’s atmosphere at 19.5 km/s. Periapsis of 45 km. Maximum of 32Gs. Sustained at 6Gs. Parachute deployment at 15 km, opening at 1 km. Heat shield jettison at 170 m. Descent at 6 m/s.
• After 10 years, TSR is back on Earth!

Very fun mission to design. Titan's atmosphere makes it so that it's possible to return samples without using ion engines or other more efficient propulsion. The magic of aerocapture! Difficult to get out after tho, that's what the balloons are for. I feel like a sample return from Jupiter's moon Io would be more difficult for example. Maybe I will try that. Mercury Sample Return could be the hardest imo.

This mission was inspired by studies on Titan Sample Return by NASA. Here.pdf) and here. And the Vincent helicopter is of course inspired by Dragonfly. A good source of inspiration for outlandish space mission is NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC). Studies that NASA funds about future advanced technology use in space exploration.

like you already get a battery from the avionics, isogrids have better utilization for rcs, is it just for life support and research payloads or am i missing something?

Q1: Is it easier to start late(start in the 1960s rather than the 1950s) for new players?

Q2: Is it worth designing an Ulysses-alike solar probe for a long-term experiment such as orbital perturbation experiment?

• August 9th 2035: 103 m/s + 141 m/s to circularise into 1000x1000 km orbit around Titan. 
• August 10th 2035: “Fatty” Return Craft decouples and stays in orbit. TSR burns 118 m/s to land at 38°N with a periapsis of 100 km. Enters at 1,75 km/s. Maximum of 0.2Gs. Free fall until 2.5 km at 13 m/s, when four parachutes deploy. Contact at 2 m/s. The 150 day surface mission of the "Vincent" helicopter begins. It will take samples of Titan.

i havent unlocked any yet but most solar nodes are completely empty, nothing indicating the tech lebel upgrade, is it supposed to be like that?

Small update on my texture streaming mod for Sol. BallisticFox is now incorporating live satellite texture streaming into his upcoming mod Mirage, so I have decided not to update this mod much further. however, I will leave you all with the current (likely final) build for the meantime, since I might as well.

PLEASE read the README before installation.

I would absolutely LOVE to see any screenshots you guys take if you try it out.

Follow Mirage development on the Fox Tech discord.

time limit ran out am i cooked

I have completed the Titan Sample Return mission. It isn't perfect and maybe I will continue to tweak it. But it is completely functional now. Cause reddit only allows 20 images max, I will post the mission in separate parts.

• August 5th 2030: Launch. 7600 m/s direct transfer to Saturn.
• January 18th 2031: Interplanetary correction burn of 210 m/s.
• May 2nd 2035: Sphere of influence of Saturn 🪐.
• August 9th 2035: Aerocapture in Titan at 6 km/s. Periapsis of 187.7 km. Minimum altitude reached of 184.6 km. Maximum of 2Gs.

I'm just wondering... Just wondering

I want to do airlaunch stuff and want to know if FMRS is compatable with pnlc.

As the title says, is there any way I can play science mode with rss with the same engines and tech tree from rp-1 but able to play science mode instead of career mode?

Also any way to not have to deal with building launch complexes and integration times etc…?
