Sam Hall posted:Okay how in the gently caress do you get anything to attach to the surface of the wing in a sane manner. I agree. They should have tested building it more rather than testing the flight (which is also too sensitive).

As long as whatever you have is capable of VTOL, MechJeb will work just fine. Eagle 1 will land on Minimus and Bardorf Kerman will be the first to freeze his little balls off.

whiteshark12 posted:alright, I stuck an ASAS on mk2 of my aircraft and flew it to the islands just off the coast of the main continent, just because i have always wanted to look to see what was there, and landed properly. well, I say properly... Mission Success!  Also I landed too hard on Minmus and now my peeps are stranded. No worries,

Here's a new aircraft that I'm willing to let anyone with the performance try to fly. I call it Barbed Wire 1. It won't fall apart on the landing pad as seen here:  Get the craft here Remember to put it into the ships/SPH folder. Edit: It does fly. It takes off at the end of the loving land.

GENTLEMEN! Lawn Dart II  It takes off at the end of the landing strip, but be sure to pull up half as hard as you normally would, otherwise the engines will hit the ground. Not sure where I remember it from, but definitely one of those historic moments that made me try to recreate it. Get the .craft here.

Slightly off-topic, but there's gonna be a solar eclipse on Sunday for the west coast. Since I'm in the SF area, it'll be around 90% coverage. Last time I experienced this, it looked like a 1995 home video EVERYWHERE.

Mr. Despair posted:Man, I'm glad they added pod racers to this game! I'm glad you provided pictures!I created a pod racer but not as grand as this one. Hell yeah! I managed to keep the throttle at 7 notches from the bottom and at a 10-degree incline. Coasts very well! I just wish the engines would bob up and down like the "real" pod racers

I managed to pull off that land speed thing with 2 tanks of fuel and an empty fuselage. Goddamn I wonder if I'm going to be able to go faster than 210 m/s... I wish we could see sonic booms in this game. Edit: Since the ground isn't level, if the vehicle flies up into the air it is alright, but it has to land back on the wheels for it to count. At least that's what I call it to "count". BombermanX fucked around with this message at May 19, 2012 around 21:56 |

YEAH 212 m/s! Try using the ASAS. They've gotten better. Edit: 216 m/s over land. One tank of fuel. I guess I can go faster... Edit 2: 222 m/s! Goddamn this is great.  Jeb would be proud Edit 3: 231 m/s- replaced the front with that dinky little nose cone. Made a huge difference somehow. BombermanX fucked around with this message at May 19, 2012 around 22:41 |

Got rid of the nose cone. I can't go any faster than 233 m/s. If anyone else can get a faster speed, feel free. Here's the .craft file.

Srebrenica Surprise posted:The deep space ship I made earlier has become my defacto heavy lifter - for the purposes of lifting a surveying rover to Minmus, I replaced the nose section with a Cuttlefish pod. Even though this added another 50 tons to a total 350-ton launch vehicle (this may seem small but keep in mind Kerbin is 1/10 the size of Earth and with 1/4th the escape velocity!) it was still able to make it. I expect to strap rockets to the holes drilled in the ice and then try to smash the Minmus into the Mun.

hailthefish posted:I was at 240ish for a split second between the top picture and the bottom picture.  This got me to 262 m/s. Hopefully I can trim its weight a bit more. Edit: The most I could get out of it was 265m/s. If I want to go faster, I will probably need another tank or more motors. 0-265m/s in just under 15 seconds. Goddamn.

Welp I can't seem to go faster than 400 m/s without flying up into the sky. Edit: Look what I found! This reminds me of the stacking remote mines trick in 007 Goldeneye 64.

goddamnedtwisto posted:I can actually survive about three times out of ten from that - decouplers to remove the engine and tail and parachute all rigged to go at once and desperately holding nose-up to get enough altitude for the chute to open work surprisingly well. Now we've got planes surely ejector seats are the next logical step? That would be most excellent.

hailthefish posted:There's a desert-looking continent in the southern hemisphere that's relatively flat. Problem is delivering the rocket sled intact. If it was possible to even load a ship there, it would make having the crew survive from launch to land a much easier feat.

Temporary off-topic I've noticed that Bill, Jeb, and Bob are apart of 2 capsules laid waste on my Kerbin. Back on topic One of my most successful gliders. I'm trying to cross that ocean at the end of the launch pad on 1 tank of fuel. So far I can only fly 2/3 of the ocean before landing gently. Well, by -standards.

S.C. sweeps posted:Holy crap. You need to get that into space, so you can get a Kessler syndrome situation going on. I laughed so hard. That's a real thing? I already have lots of debris all over the place and an Untitled Space Craft about 450 trillion meters from the sun. I'll see if I can get a bunch of crap to orbit Kerbin.

Platonicsolid posted:It's theoretically real. The math works but nobody's ever observed it, so it's a decent theory but as yet unconfirmed. Anyway, you can't do it in KSP, since it doesn't model the debris at a fine enough detail. If you smacked two components into each other, they'd just explode, but not create more debris. Well I created this piece of art and will launch into orbit around Kerbin at multiple altitudes. Also, notice how every piece is in its own group.  Edit: The lag was terrible. I need to try something else. BombermanX fucked around with this message at May 21, 2012 around 21:40 |

Hey guys, I figured I'd try to make my favorite airplane. The Airbus 380. It's difficult as hell to make the wings just right, and the ailerons don't work well when they are at a 45-degree angle.
