Installation

When I follow the procedures, I have different copies of ModuleManager. What shall I do?

Although it can work with several versions attached, better to delete all but the last one.

How do I upgrade to a new version of RO?

Best is to delete the RO folder, and then install RO. If you install other mods also, install them before the RO.

Playing hints

Main differences to stock.

  1. Getting to orbit is much more difficult. It is not just to climb the atmosphere to 130k instead of 70k, after you are out of the atmosphere you need much more delta v to achieve orbit.

  2. Deadly reentry forces you to think much more about reentry. You might think that heat is the biggest problem, however, usually Kerbals die of g>15 much more often than overheating.

Remote Tech

In RO currently mission control is not directly at any launch site. Therefore it is in the beginning not possible to launch an uncrewed vessel. You can however, launch crewed vessels that put uncrewed satellites in orbit. Those can connect to uncrewed vessels, e.g. directly near your favourite launch site and from there an omni antenna can be used to directly target vessels on the launchpad.

Other Options:

  1. You can also install the patch that creates mission control centers at every launch site.
  2. Put a 6-kerbal craft with the appropriate hardware directly near the launch site, so that you have a mission control center there. (To send science back however, you have to go to the original mission control.)
