I was trying to follow some Transx video tutorials and wanted to save time. I'll just do it in a different ship. I think that would be easier. Thanks for all the input though.

Sadly the safe mode idea didn't work either. The gear and hover engines were damaged even while in safe mode. I don't understand the reference "clbkPreStep or clbkPostStep". Is that a config file setting of some sort? I appreciate the ideas. They all make sense. Could another add on be...

The pause option didn't work. The ship ended up in orbit like I wanted it to, however as soon as I hit "resume" it damaged the ship. Always the same things, gear and hover engines. Very strange

I'm in the DG IV on a planet (I've tried Earth and Mars so far) and would like to use the scenario editor to get to orbit quickly. I adjust orbiter elements in the editor and apply them and I immediately get an alert saying my hover engines and gear are destroyed. Am I missing a step...

Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded it and gave it a try. For now I think I'll just limit to three cargos instead.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I haven't found it using a search. I thought I remember reading somewhere that the DGIV can hold four UCGO cargo packs. Am I wrong about this? I'm trying to load cargo but can only get three packs in there. I then get a message that it can't find...

Got it fixed. Thanks :thumbup:

Seems like what I did wrong was to completely rely on autoburn. I haven't studied the map program in detail yet so I guess that's my next step. I also like the idea of of the planet approach / oribt insertion combo. I thought about trying it when I was playing around with different ideas...

Hi Folks I'm new to orbiter and have been having a blast learning everything. I've read / followed quite a few tutorials and finally made it to Mars using the IMFD 5.5 full manual as a guide. I decided to try a flight to Mercury from Earth using the Arrow (what an awesome ship!) with the idea...
