Aye, there is a ton of stuff on youtube, and some of it is quite useful, but there are some parts I can't find info for.

if you IVA the crew, I cannot see how you revert back to the outside view.

Those damn launch support struts. They will not fall away, and most time, my vehicle blows up on the pad, or, more embarrassingly, the bottom bits fall off the rocket and leave the top bits clamped in (funny to watch, though).

In fact, the whole sequence of how stuff kicks in seems a bit strange, and whenever I hit the space bar, whatever I expect to happen, don't!

No doubt this is just me being a total Luddite, but a few documented procedures would have been a big help.

(Optional) Steam transfer/keys are now available...

I wonder... if you request a Steam key, do they deactivate the direct download version?  It vaguely sounds like it's an either/or thing.  Anyone know?

I wouldn't mind having a Steam version, as a backup, but not if you can only have one active.

Tried this as per the instructions, but I don't get an option to transfer to steam.

Ahh.  Thanks!

I'll just keep it as-is, then.

You could always try the demo first. ;)

I guess I should have looked if there was one available:)  Thanks for the heads up, I'll likely do that....assuming the demo represents the latest version?

Staggerwing

The Demo is based on v. 0.18.3, the current version is 0.19 http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/content.php/148-KSP-0-19-Released!

Here is the Demo and purchase page= https://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/download.php

I'm still debating w/ myself about whether to Steam up my version or not.... I like the tidiness of having everything in one 'place' but then in the future I won't be able to play under a non-Steam friendly Linux distro if I ever want to.

I wouldn't let that stop you.  I couldn't get Steam working on SolusOS because it's based on Debian stable and some required libraries just weren't available.  There would have been a way to get them but I didn't want to put in the effort.

Since then I've installed Linux Mint and had no problem getting Steam up and running.  I also just installed Bodhi Linux and have similarly had no problem - it was even in the repository!

The moral of the story is that as long as you're using modern packages you probably won't have a problem.
