I am upgrading as I type. Can’t wait to play it. Apparently, there are huge upgrades and improvements in this one.  
Who’s playing?

MechJeb has been updated so I started playing last night. The game is also on sale in case you haven’t tried yet.

It definitely performs better, and the lighting is improved, but the UI changes have been pretty fantastic.

I started a new Moderate game for 1.1 and I’m currently filling out tier 5 of the tech tree.

[This](http://i.imgur.com/AB74nAo.jpg) is my current workhorse - a $12,800 Kickback-based launch vehicle that can get five Kerbals to LKO and back with a generous safety margin. It’s an easy way to make money by taking tourists up four at a time for ~$20,000 profit per run.

Just upgraded most of the space center off the tourist runs. Just landed on Mun and Minmus, still need the high and low science before I head on to Duna.

It’s definitely prettier, and I finally took the time to figure out the aerodynamics, that didn’t exist last time I played (long long time ago), which makes life much less frustrating. Crashing Jeb into Mun was a rough one though.

1.1.2 isn’t updated for me.

I get this mess in the updating window:  
"sent 10,116 bytes received 79,843 bytes 16,356.18 bytes/sec  
total size is 2,604,930,549 speedup is 28,956.86  
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1668) [generator=3.1.2]  
rsync exited with code 23: Partial transfer due to error  
Process\_stderr canceled [0]

Any ideas?
