Test RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid fuel engine in flight over Kerbin

[F'lar]

Had a devil of a time completing this contract and wasn't sure why until I noticed that one of the 'qualifications' for it was wrong. The four conditions are listed as:

¤ Kerbin
¤ Flying
¤ Alt: 63,000m to 66,000m
¤ Spd: 660.0m/s to 750.0m/s

It's the speed one that's incorrect. Watching carefully (and blowing past my 3,000m window for the test...), I found the actual speed range to be 720.0m/s to 750.0m/s. You already have a narrow altitude window that you go through quickly at these speeds, but the speed restriction makes it that much tougher.

For those wondering why they might not be able to complete, hopefully this helps!

You were probably in surface mode vs. orbit mode or vice versa.

Try clicking your navball where it lists your speed to change modes.

[Trixi]

well the speeds are measured relatively to the surface, but navball switches to orbit mode above 35,000m

I could have been in the orbit mode - didn't look at that. I did finish it, but it was the twitchiest thing I've done so far! :)
