Hey, thank you! I considered a 100% land circumnavigation but, let's be honest, Kerbin has a freaking lot of water . A real, honest to God, 100% land circumnavigation would require some crazy pathing and backtracking, it took me almost 6 months to make a simple / straight circumnavigation. You need to add Boronto's Duna circumnavigation, he did it when the rover parts were released (around 2013). As soon as I can find the links I'd share them. (edit) Here it is: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/24963-Driving-Duna-%28Circumnavigating-the-Red-Planet-by-rover%29-pic-heavy

Thanks, glad you liked it. You are right about the distance readings, the may be off a bit by the challenge standards, I'll run a couple more tests.

I'm not sure how to categorize my slingshot, I think it should fit in "tension". The throw itself is not powered assisted, the rockets are used just to create enough tension. u

Hmmm... cool, I guess? And yes, here in the forums we guessed what it was. But, hey, this is just the official KSP forums, not that it counts, right?

It could be a partnership with SpaceX you guys, Elon tweeted about KSP not too long ago, remember? KSP Dragon capsule anyone? -snip-

I find your lack of turbojet engines disturbing, you definitely need moar, no ammount of wing surface will lift that weight without some serious thrust. Have you considered moving your cargo bay to the middle of the ship, placing it between fuel tanks? It may help balancing the ship on the return trip.

Thank you.

I have the latest version, downloaded it from curse, but I can't find that button. Where is it? Inside the VAB? The astronaut complex?

I tought there was a way to do it on the config file, I could swear I've read it somewhere but I can't find it for the life of me. Maybe I'm crazy.

No one? Bumping for help.

I'm working on a project that requires a specific head / suit combo attached to the same Kerbal throughout the entire mission, my problem being that he shares space with a crew and sometimes the mod applies the custom textures to random Kerbals. I need the same guy looking the same always.

This challenge deserves a remake.

I've done Kerbin circumnavigations with hovercrafts, using liquid fuel they can last a looong time on the air, hours even. If you really want to keep the jet engines on the challenge make it separated tiers: LF - LF+O - RCS.

A 4 times Kerbin aerial circumnavigation under 25k m. Short gif for guys with ADHD. More detailed video for technical types.

I made an animated gif of my 4 times circumnavigation, working on a full video.

Cool! I like your wang. No, wait, that sounded wrong.

This is my entry: A quadruple west / east circumnavigation (4 times, new record), landing on the runway with my ship "Lance 5", basically a large tube of liquid fuel with wings, with a cluster of 3 turbo jets set to action groups.

Valentina sounds cool: Jeb, Bill, Bob and Val.

This is a really old video of mine, a round trip to get science from Duna and Ike with 6 probes and a lander, I wanted to return to Kerbin in style so I set up everything to decouple and land separately. Relevant part to the discussion starts in 8:00, no need to watch whole.

Ok, I've read the OP and the comments twice, and I still don't understand the challenge. Maybe I'm to dense, but a clearer explanation of the objective and some proof of concept from our host would be nice.

I enjoy the cinematics and do expect them with every release. Moar please.

There's still hope Flixxbeatz decides to update this, I'm still trying my 4 times circumnavigation. Almost there.

What about the Mk1 Fuselage - Intake, the Engine Nacelle and the Radial Engine Body? Any data on those against air intakes and between themselves?

Wow! nice entry, and yes, these tracks need time to master, I'm not expecting a flood of submissions in the first weeks. Up to the leaderboards you go. Dat first loop at 221 m/s

2:15 on normal? You are a beast Andrew, up to the leaderboard you go.
