To get orbit you’ll need 2,200 m/s velocity! Might want to tip over 45° at that point and eventually fly flat (horizontal) because the ground will drop out beneath you as you go past the “edge” of the planet.

Above 10,000 meters you can go full throttle without wasting fuel from pushing air out of the way. In thick atmosphere (below 10,000 meters) keep speed below 200 m/s and fly straight up. įlight Tips Flying from Kerbin (“Earth”): Note: the “Nav Ball” has some important icons: you, “prograde” (forward), and “retrograde” (backward). There is speedometer on top of the navigation ball. ( I K J L supposedly make the rocket move up/down/left/right/ without tilting.)Īltimeter is at top of screen and has orange needle to show whether you’re going up or down. “ +” (plus) and “ -” (minus) zoom the camera.Ī S W D let you steer the rocket and kerbal’s jet packs (the latter are turned on with “ R”, as is “RCS” control mini-rockets which use special mono fuel). “ C” switches between “C”ockpit view and not.ĪRROW keys move the camera around. “ M" switches between regular (look at rocket) view and “Map” view. ” (period) speeds up time, “ ,” (comma) slows down time. “ R” turns on RCS rocket steering which is good for stabilizing and for steering.ĮSC key lets you quit a flight and restart it or go back to vehicle assembly building. Have to turn SAS temporarily off again to steer and change direction. Throttle: left SHIFT = throttle up, left CONTROL= throttle down, “ x”= throttle off.
