Done, Orbiter bugged out, is why.

No matter how I angle the PB shuttle thing, it always re-enters at the same rate. Similarly, banking does not move the velocity indicator. Also, that up and down waving has never happened to me before, and seems to be limited to this one addon.

To be truthful, I tried several different ships, some that just spazzed out when they hit the atmosphere, so bad coding there. Literally, it just started swaying up and down and up and down. I was using the TotalImmersion ShuttlePB for most attempts, and I managed to re-enter within about...

I cannot re-enter correctly. I follow all the steps, am on opposite side of the planet, but AS SOON as I hit the atmosphere, my orbit vanishes and I just fall. I align planes, make sure I pass over the base, wait til i'm on the other side of the planet, and burn retrograde to lower my orbit...

Yes, i can *reenter*. Just, not to a base. Re-entering to any old place is easy.

I've tried every tutorial I can think of, all the reentry MFDs, and still this thing eludes me. I cannot re-enter the XR2 down to a base. I can do it with non heat sensitive spacecraft, just the Ravenstar gets far too hot. How is it possible? Burning on the other side of the earth doesn't work...

First, I'd like to know how to land a tailsitter. Every time, it eludes me. Things such as either coming down too fast, or having way too much horizontal speed. How can I stop this? I've tried a few methods, such as a normal, retrograde re-entry, which leads to far too much horizontal speed, and...

Thanks, that was great! I'm going to put the cargo bay bit in as soon as I've managed to sort out the boosters.

Hello guys. This will be my first add on, and I intend to try and make an escape pod that can be carried in say, the bay of a DGIV. However, I need a few pointers. 1.) Tutorial or advice on creating a jettisonable deorbit/manouvering stage. So far I've only managed to make a dockable booster...

IMFD 4.2.1 does not work with four MFDs.

Yup!

Using the Descartes, and the orbit eject burn goes fine. However, after that, the map MFD shows no course whatsoever, and even when I do manage to get near mars enough to try the planet approach burn, it just uses the RCS thrusters to constantly swing around, burn for three seconds, turn the...

So I have been using IMFD 4.2.1 for most flights, and they pretty much all work. THe IMFD 5.x series just seems to be complete sh*t, though. The autoburn seems to just adjust the attitude, the planet approach burns away from the planet. Basically, am I doing something wrong? Or is IMFD 5 -ment-...

Okay, take off at full throttle, and aim upwards at about fifty degrees, retract the landing gear once you're off the ground, and open the Orbit MFD. Hit the PRJ button once, so the line and very thin ovoid on the display becomes, uhm, longer and thinner. Open the surfaceMFD in the other display...

I can usually re-enter just fine with most ships, and can also do it with heat sensitive ones, such as the XR-2 or DGIV. What I don't understand is how to target a base and re-enter on a flight path to it. I've only done it once with the shuttle PB, and that was using the only guide I found...
