To the Mun part 1 bugged?

[Hillbilly_Dave]

I've tried it twice and when I get to the part where dude tells me to get into a circular orbit under 200k, I get one side under and as soon as the other dips under I lose all thrust - though I can still increase and decrease the thrust settings, just nothing actually happens - but the tutorial doesn't progress. The guy is still telling me to get into a circular orbit under 200k.

It sounds as if you're running out of fuel just short of getting the orbit cirular enough. For efficiency, tweak your maneuver from Kerbin orbit to get your Mun periapsis as low as possible. It could also be possible to transfer some fuel from the lander part of the spaceship to the transfer stage.

Make a screenshot and post it here, but it sounds indeed like you're running out of fuel.

the tutorials are outdated, the ship it gives you doesn't have enough fuel to actually reach the mun since the last 2-3 updates

just use youtube scott manley to show you how to get to the mun

So the tutorial is indeed broken then. Thanks.

Oh man. A non-working tutorial?

Dev Troll level: DARK SOULS

(which is funny because Dark Souls' tutorial area is actually off-puttingly easy and informative)

The tutorial is NOT bugged. The craft provided has the deltaV to reach the Mun, orbit, shed its lander, lander touch down/return to orbit, and then return to Kerbin for a landing with the command module.
A few screenshots of it in orbit.

I think your problem is your initial burn to the Mun. Below is a shot on a decent spot to place that node. Placed just at the point where the Mun breaks the horizon if you are looking at it straight on.

Next just drag that prograde marker out until you see something like this:

(*** This is a quick and dirty transfer burn. With practice and patience you will be able to get things like a free return trajectory like the Apollo launches used. ***)

After all that it is smooth sailing to the Mun with a quick orbit burn when you get near your PE around the Mun. If you would like I can maybe throw up a quick YouTube video showing you how to do it.

I took screenshots of me once again attempting this tutorial mission and it breaking before I can finish establishing the required orbit but I don't know how to post them so I made them public. I still have fuel, still have power, yet my engines will not fire to finish setting the orbit.

EDIT: Just realized my main thruster engine has ran out of fuel and this is what is screwing me.

Open the picture you want to upload. At the top is something that looks like a web addy. Just right click that and choose Copy Link Address. Next paste that into your post.

Peeked at your pictures and left a few short comments so I thought I'd expand a bit here. Your stage that is supposed to push you to the Mun is running out of fuel. You can see this in the lower left hand part of the screen that shows the active stage. So, now we just need to work out why your running out of fuel so soon.

Have you tried doing your burns like I pictured above? Can you take a screenshot of your initial maneuver mode and make it visible as well? That might help get this sorted out

[Hillbilly_Dave]

Well I did manage to get it finished. I still didn't have the fuel to actually land, but w/e, I finished the tutorial.

Don't worry, you'll get used to these transfers soon.
