It's as easy as pressing D provided that you don't rotate your craft's root part (Q, E) either in the VAB or in flight. On the Navball in Surface mode while looking up (light side), due East is the direction along the heavy, densely tickmarked equatorial line in which the numbers go down. If...

Sorry if this has already been mentioned here, it probably has, but the currently available batteries hold a near-uselessly small amount of electricity. IMHO, a disc the size of the capsule bottom and a foot thick ought to be able to hold enough juice to power a single light for more than 5...

I just retried my Mars lander orbital rendezvous in the new build (5402) and I still encountered the orbital inflation bug, but only under very specific circumstances. That is to say, when I flew to orbit with my solar panels deployed, everything was fine and my orbit was stable even if I...

I just installed the latest build, and all my saves that were crashing the game before now seem to load normally. Huzzah!

To clarify a bit, the orbital drift in my case was occurring before I hit the top of the Mars atmosphere, so I don't think it had anything to do with aerobraking per se. I can also report that when I was trying to re-dock the same Mars lander to the mothership, with the PE of both vessels above...

I think I noticed the same thing while aerobraking for a Mars landing. I would do a short retrograde burn from orbit (with panels deployed) to just put my PE on the ground, and then I'd timewarp until I reached the top of the atmosphere only to discover that my PE was no longer on the ground...

I'm experiencing exactly the same crash when I load save files, with exactly the same error messages before the program exits. A few more observations about this bug, in case they might be helpful: 1) I'm running Windows 11 on a gen 11 core i7-11700K, with 64GB of system RAM and an RTX 3060...
