Has anyone gotten the Pro version of the Kerbalizer? What does it add?

In space no one can hear you scream...

Right now the only screams are mine - in frustration.

Fortunately there appear to be some solid tutorials.

I knew the first object I built wouldn't make it far, but when it just sat there on the launch pad I knew I was missing something.

RTFM is the next task. I will get this figured out :)

OK. Watched the first tutorial vid.

Got my kerbals about 20 km up. Then they came down. Strangely the parachute didn't deploy. Poor kerbals.

Fortunately the game will supply more.

From my limited time with the demo, I think you're supposed to press space to deploy the 'chute.  Space seems to be the key to advance each stage.

bob48

Yep, Huw. That's correct. I went through the same frustrations as LB until I figured that out. I can now get the little buggers up ok, but have not yet been able to achieve a stable orbit.

Lots of head scratching and muttering of profanities at the moment.

I pressed space multiple times :)

Not to worry. I was actually quite thrilled the thing took off at all. It was a hoot just getting it off the ground. And I can't tell you how excited I was watching it go up and up - then start to tumble out of control. Sometimes the more I corrected it the worse it got, but that was half the fun!

Apparently for LB, it is rocket science.  :P

I may have to try this out when I get done with Red Storm work.

The key to building working rockets is setting up the stages properly.  For basic stuff, they tend to be fine with the default but there is regularly some adjustment needed once you start making them more complex than a simple little Orbit & Back-size. 

Also, once you hit this more complex building stage, you'll begin having to be as efficient as possible with your fuel vs weight for travelling to other planets/moons.  The difficulty definitely keeps rising.  :D

LongBlade

w00t!

Second rocket I managed to get 147 km into space and come back to Kerbol safely!

The guy on the right seems fairly stoked, but the other two look like they'd rather be anywhere else but in that rocket!
