One of the best tutorials I have seen!!! Man, you are awesome. I usually come across people who either speak wayyyy too fast and can't really understand anything, or people who have a lot of hours in the game and explain things in very complex terminology. But you, my friend are simply great, you condensed the whole thing into a simple a dynamic explanation! God bless.

[@robertbaker7610]

Lol, when you got to the Mun and revealed the fact that your battery placement caused them to rub on the engines my first thought was "Lower your spring strength on the wheels" and then you did that. You could also increase the spring strength of the landing legs to raise the lander. I have used the combination of both of those to assist in docking rovers and bases, I dry fit it all on Kerbin before launching but differing fuel levels and terrain can make it just a hair off.
On Xbox for the enhanced edition it is the X button to get the labels to persist after moving the cursor off.
Great tutorial by the way.
Edit: If you have the reaction wheels set to Normal(default) then as you try to drive around that is increasing the forces in that direction which can cause issues with rovers. I will often set them to SAS only and then turn on SAS, this gives you the benefits of SAS without trying to flip yourself every 3 meters. If you do flip over and everything is still intact you can set them back to normal or pilot only mode, flip yourself back over and then set back to SAS mode. And don't forget that command type modules often have built in reaction wheels too. This has caused many a spin out and roll over for me.

[@thekkwet777]

For some reason, settings for springs won't appear in my sandbox game. Do you have any idea on how is it possible?

[@davidcooke8005]

I used the slightly larger, black wheels and my rover is undriveable on the Mun. If I try to accelerate I just do a wheelie, and if I try to brake I flip forwards. Worked great on Kerbal though, so the dream is to land one on Duna and drive around like I own the place.

[@davidcooke8005]

@@alex94hg22 I have not played KSP in months now, so no.

[@yasinsenel8484]

same. I couldn't drive. I dont know why

[@CosmicTeapot]

have you tried tweaking the rover wheels' settings (torque, suspension, etc)?

[@voidseeker4394]

All the reaction wheels must be set to "SAS only" mode or completely disabled, or you should remap your driving keys to something else that is not WASD. What is happening is your turning and thrust keys also engage reaction wheels of the rover(ones you normaly use to orient your vessel during fight). In low gravity they have enough power to flip your rover.

[@voidseeker4394]

Other trick to improve stability is to disable steering on the rear wheels, lowering traction on the steering wheels, and rebalancing breaking to rear wheels more than front wheels.

[@FSTH000]

Dude, your rocket is overkill : you can go and bring back to duna with it. Remplacing decoupler by docking port jr (idem on the pod) and you can land to duna with parachutes next bring back and dock to the rocket in orbit

For land on the Mün i make a orbit of 20km / 20km and at 5km i kill my horizontal velocity, before it, i start the landing burn at 500m and land at 1m/s, and this works perfectly!

[@scottkermen4903]

just came back after 3 years this was you help me alot in the humble begins thanks alot mate

[@possumridgeentertainment4614]

I orbited Mun for the first time last night. I went in too shallow on the return. I didn't think to count the number of orbits it took to air brake enough to actually land, but it took 13 in-game days. My ablator was used up by the time I did a proper reentry so I was convinced that Jeb and all of the science he collected would go kablooey, but he survived.

[@dying2play517]

Best bet for reentry is to set your node to come in at 30km. That usually pulls you in to land on the same orbit

[@hmm396]

This video was pretty useful and had some suggestions like the rover build model. But honestly that was a very excessive use of fuel and engines, I managed to do this with a twin boar engine on it, and around that, about 6 kickback solid fuel boosters. The lander should have enough fuel for the rest. Oh I forgot, I also added an RC-02 Probodobodyne and some air brakes around the first stage and landed that to save cash. And with wings, it’s easier to control of course.

[@FireTome]

Why did you put the wheels as low as possible? That makes the rover somewhat unstable because the COM is higher.

[@Sinnbad21]

Jarno de Wit he did that so the bottom of his rover body doesn’t scrape the ground every time he hits a bump

I kinda prefer, now that I build larger space ships, to strap multiple Clydesdale boosters around the largest fuel/oxidizer tanks and engine(s) as a single stage ascent booster (yes, dragging Clydesdale boosters into orbit) so that once orbit is achieved and the primary space ship is detached, the entire ascent booster can de-orbit with it's reserve fuel tank, land and be recovered.

Just started playing KSP and I’m trying to find some useful mods to enhance situational awareness and overall flying capabilities. Which do you find the most useful?

[@killwalker]

I cant tell if the engines are exploding, causing the closest rover wheel to also explode, or if the heat from the engines just before touchdown causes the wheel to explode and subsequent engine to go next...but right before touchdown...that happens.
I followed this vid second by second, and right before landing i lose at least 1 rover wheel and the above engine. Every time.
It's the exact same build as urs. I managed to 3 wheel drive the rover...but not well. But i noticed after that all 4 engines were just gone.
Im so stumped.

[@williamseward762]

I was a beginner and learned so much thank you

[@jaymcdude1291]

When using the inline cockpit, how do you attach the decouplers for the rest of the build?

[@stegalin96]

I spun the decoupler to attach to the rear, then did the same spin and move you do to get the rover into place for the decoupler. I had no idea this was a thing that could be done until this video. I use those tool a lot more now. I’m early career so I didn’t have the parts he used but I got it to work and figured out to turn off the reaction wheels on the Mun after a near capsize. Had to look up how to pick up mun rocks but I was so glad my first land on the mun was with a rover. The first wheels suck though but now I have over 400 science from one trip to the mun so yay

Just to correct one thing, there is no "night time" for the Mun. There is only the dark side and the light side. The face always faces the same way (same as our Moon) so the light side will always be light. Nice video!

[@Zenshu1]

I have to do some tweaking and figure out what went wrong, had to move the lander engines up slightly higher because they weren't counting as connected to the fuel tank and wouldn't fire, then the rover was too tall for the length of the legs with the lower engines so I got rid of the small tank and adapter above the rover to make some more room for the legs to touch the ground and the coupler exploded my rover and two of the engines when I tried ejecting the rover.
