This is "How to go to space in Kerbal Space Program part 2" If you want to know the whole process please look at part 1.
You've mad a rocket in the VAB and you are ready to go to space. Press the launch button near the top right corner.
Now you'll be on the launch pad. Wait for things to load then press the shift key to increase your thrust to max. (P.S. shift increases throttle control decreases it) Press the "t" key to turn on the SAS.
Then Press space bar (to activate the foremost stage) and ... Liftoff!

Continue up till you reach 10,000 meters,
Then start moving along the 90 degree mark by first toggling the SAS with the "T" key and then pressing the "D" key or (depending on your rotation) any combination of the"w,a,s,d" turn the ball to 45 degrees or the half way point on the 90 degree line. Rotation can be controlled with "q" and "e".
Don't forget to re-engage the SAS controls to maintain your course.
You are almost there! Follow the green pro-grade marker till you reach a horizontal attitude. When you run out of fuel while pressing space bar to detach the old stage and then again to start the next stage.
Go to the map by pressing "M". Keep burning horizontal till your apoapsis says 100,000 meters. then press "X" to cut the throttle.
About 15 to 30 seconds from apoapsis burn horizontal till your periapsis first exists then is about 100,000 meters. And you should have an orbit around the planet Kerbin.
Now enjoy the scenery.
To return home find the retro-grade marker and burn till your map shows a collision course with Kerbin or at most a periapsis of 25,000. That should get you deep enough into the atmosphere to slow down.

You always seem to amaze me Scott. This game looks really fun! I love the pictures you have with it and you put your own voice into it. Good Job :)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog Scott, I've always wanted to work for NASA and be an astronaut. It looks kind of hard. That's cool how you can make your own ship.
ReplyDeleteScott I can hear your voice throughout this post. I love how it was something that you love, I also like how you built upon your other blog post. Very well done.
