RSS Venus ascent in 1.0.x ?

[Gaarst]

I was just wondering if anyone had managed to make a successful ascent from Venus' surface to orbit in 1.0.x. With or without part mods, just nothing too OP and no cheats.

Is it even possible anymore ?

I saw a video of it being done, but that was with an older version of KSP, when the engines had constant thrust in atm or not.

I have got an idea of how to do it (even SSTO it) but it's kind of a workaround of the real problem, which is the nonexistent thrust in low Venusian atmosphere.

I'll still try my way, and will probably post about it if I eventually make it.

With or without mods

o.0 You can't even have Venus without mods...

RO/RSS has never been without thrust correction. E: Aside from Deadly Reentry, Arcturus Thrust Corrector was one of the essential realism mods before RO/RSS, with KIDS being its successor. Edited October 20, 2015 by regex

OK, corrected my post

I'm playing only RSS (I don't like the RO full package), and I've been on it only after 1.0, so I just assumed there was no correction.

Anyway,

I found doesn't not mention any of the mods you stated, so either the author did not have them, either it is included in some other mod.

Still would like to hear from someone who managed it !

Real Fuels has included thrust correction for some time, that was likely what the video was using.

E: Nope, LiquidFuel in those tanks. Welp. Why not try it yourself?

Yes I just saw that the video didn't use RF.

I'm on it !

From what i know going through Venus atmosphere is painfully long process...
