How do I activate engines in KSP?

Just as holding the left Shift key will increase your thrust, holding the left Ctrl (Control) key will reduce it. Press Space once to ignite your engines!

How do you control a liquid fuel engine in KSP?

The throttle can be controlled with the ⇧ Left Shift and ^ Left Ctrl keys, which will respectively increase and decrease the throttle. When in Intra-Vehicular Activity view, the throttle lever in the cockpit can also be used by clicking and dragging it with the mouse.

How do you transfer liquid fuel into KSP?

Then, hold Alt (Option on a Mac) and right-click on the fuel tank of your target spacecraft that you want to refuel. The right-click menu should have a section labeled “Transfer.” Under that section, press the buttons labeled “In” on both the Liquid Fuel and Oxidizer subsections.

Why is my staging not working KSP?

Release. Version 1.0 was the first full release of Kerbal Space Program. It was nicknamed We Have Liftoff! and released on 27 April 2015. For example, “Engineer” Kerbals can repair wheels and landing legs. Female Kerbals were also added to the game.

What is liquid fuel in KSP?

Liquid fuel, sometimes called jet fuel, is a resource used to power an engine, used either in conjunction with oxidizer, or intake air, depending on the engine type. It is stored in liquid fuel tanks or fuselages.

What is oxidizer for KSP?

Oxidizer is a resource that fuels liquid fuelled rocket engines. It was added with version 0.18, prohibiting rocket engines being fuelled by jet fuselages alone. It is stored in liquid fuel tanks together with the usually correct amount of liquid fuel.

Can you transfer fuel KSP?

To transfer fuel you will have to dock your vessels. This can be done either using docking ports on both vessels or a “grabbing unit” aka the “claw” on one of them. You will also need to have at least one upgrade of the science facility back at the Kerbal Space Center to enable resource transfer.

How do you transfer fuel in KSP without docking?

king of nowhere

1. send a rescue mission, transfer the astronauts to the new craft, abandon the old craft. no tech required.
2. send a refueling mission, attach with the claw and transfer fuel.
3. rend a rover capable of producing fuel in-situ, and attach it to the craft with the claw.
4. cheat.

How do you unlock staging in KSP?

Only way to solve is change to some other overlay (docking or orbital) and switch back to staging. Alternatively, click the staging button while you’re already in staging to hide the left menu of stages (thus locking stages), then click it again to expand the left menu and unlock staging.

How do you activate a stage in KSP?

Pressing spacebar activates all stages at once.

What are liquid rocket engines used for?

Liquid rocket engines are used on the Space Shuttle to place humans in orbit, on many un-manned missiles to place satellites in orbit, and on several high speed research aircraft following World War II. In a liquid rocket, stored fuel and stored oxidizer are pumped into a combustion chamber where they are mixed and burned.

How long is a Kerbin Time Warp?

Can you use aviation fuel on a rocket engine?

Make sure you’re using the right fuel, pure liquid fuel tanks are used for jet engines and liquid fuel, oxidizer combo, is used for the rocket engines. @700NitroXpress Felt really dumb when I realized this is exactly what I had done. Using aviation fuel on a rocket. DOH! Cheers for that. This is an ancient thread, three years old.

What happens when you change the warp factor?

Upon changing the warp factor, the multiplication of normal time (in seconds) is shown in the top-center of the screen. High-speed time warp stops all physical calculations except for gravity and collision.
