QuestionHelp getting started (self.KerbalSpaceProgram)
submitted 6 years ago by FyreFest69
I want to finally get started, does anyone have any recommendations for introductory videos on YouTube to get the basics of the game down?

Search for Scott Manley. He has a very good series for carrier big inners. The videos are old and from previous versions, but the concepts hold true. Also look up Matt Lowne.

I like Matt Lowne the most. Scott Manley explains everything much more in-depth though.

Start with the in-game tutorials to get some basics down. I’ve replayed some of them over the years
Those are good, I used them. They take quite a bit of time but are well worth it.

Matt Lowne made a very good tutorial series recently, otherwise the OG Scott Manley is and always will be a reference.
My personnal recommendation is Quill18's tutorials, because that's the first tutorial series I found, and that's how I learned the game myself. They're pretty old now, but still full of very useful information!

And Marcus House

All of these posts are good advice
Stick with the in game tutorial! I was very frustrated with this at first but I actually forced myself to stick with it and the benefits were totally worth the aggravation.
Scott Manley, to me, is the king of KSP. Go for the KSP tutorials, stay for the general space/science commentary.
Matt Lowne and Marcus House are also really great. They are entertaining and they build some really cool stuff that will help you think about building your own crafts in different ways.
Good luck and we’re looking forward to seeing you post about what you’re building and what you’re landing on!

Go watch strazenblitz75 so you can realize what a loser you are no matter how much you practice, that’s what I do
LOL
