#KSP MAC NOT LAUNCHING MODS#

Building a rocket and getting it into orbit in KSP isn’t difficult because the developers baked some arbitrary limitations into their virtual world the game is hard for the same reasons putting a rocket into orbit around the Earth is hard. The game’s challenge came not from puzzles or scripted events, but from the game’s accurate (if slightly simplified) application of orbital mechanics and Newtonian dynamics. The closest thing to a score counter was the altimeter that showed how far your craft was above the planet’s surface, and the only way to “win” was to put its little green occupant, the titular Kerbal, back on the ground in one piece. There was no story to follow, or enemies to battle. The sandbox game allowed players to cobble together rockets from an inventory of modular components and attempt to put them into orbit around the planet Kerbin. Kerbal wasn’t even an official company initiative, it started as a side project by one of their employees, Felipe Falanghe. Until that point the company had only developed websites and multi-media installations. In 1.0.Just a few weeks before Atlantis embarked on the final flight of the Space Shuttle program in 2011, a small Mexican company by the name of Squad quietly released Kerbal Space Program (KSP) onto an unsuspecting world. Hint: cargo under fairing could use struts from its top to fairing base. Combine that together, and usual inaccuracy of ~200 meters goes into 10km. I would dare to say that your rocket stays together only because of Joint Reinforcement mod. It also looks like your rocket will wobble a bit, have too much engine power, relies on RCS to fly straight and, as you are still on 1.0.5, will fly at low framerate. In your case you certainly scored on atmosphere, non-equatorial orbit and other mods.

other mods (warranty void if used with other mods ).

non-equatorial target orbit (MJ have problems with inclinations).

non-equatorial launch site (requires thrust offset, which screws with delta-v).

high thrust ratio (creates wobbling and reduces accuracy of burns).

lagging game (bad and weird things can happen).

rockets that require RCS to fly straight (fixing bad design with corrective steering is still a bad design ).

wobbling rockets (they tend to fall apart).

weird rocket with weird, unpredictable, drag (MJ likes straight, pointy and rigid rockets).

atmosphere (drag and aerodynamic forces).

"Manual" inclination fix and circularization burns, remember to leave some time between maneuversĪs for difference in AP and PE, there is plenty of things that will make ascent less accurate

Disable corrective steering - however without solid rocket you are very likely to perform rapid lithobraking without this option.

Skip Circularization in ascent guidance and replace it with Change Inclination and Circularize maneuvers.

Ordering MJ to change inclination once in orbit.

Launching to inclination if 86 degrees, which will result in (almost) polar orbit (dirty hack, but it works).

Note: issue occurs both in 1.0.5 and 1.1 version. Gravity turn gets skewed by Corrective Steering when fighting planet rotation and Circularization plainly ignores inclination.

Circularization (burn until designated PE is reached).

Coasting to edge of atmosphere (only when necessary).

Gravity turn (burn until designated AP is reached).

Vertical ascent (first few seconds of launch).

And use orbital data readouts from MJ or KER instead of eyeballing it ) TLDR: Launch to inclination of 86, then do some fine-tuning once in orbit. MJ ascent guidance Corrective Steering overcompensates for planet rotation, which visibly skews ascent to highly inclined orbits. The orbit is like 5º offset and the apoapsis and periapsis is not 100k, is 110k and 90k respectively (approximately) I'm trying to orbit Kerbin at 100km with 90º of orbit inclination using mechjeb ascend guidance but mechjeb is not making vessel orbit correctly.
