  1. These appear to have no textures or UV mapping and without even the original files you've only posted a picture of, your basically asking someone to remake all these from scratch. Quite the request. As others have mentioned, there's a number of parts packs that have similar layouts.
  2. I actually tried this before. Sticking VASIMR's next to it even at highest ISP kinda negates the ultra high ISP of the FFR. XD
  3. I might be wrong on DCS. I suspect XP's code hasn't significantly changed since XP 8 or 9. Well over 10 years ago. I think it might be time for them to move to a modern engine. A little of all actually. I feel like in 2018 a Flight sim should look at least as good as NMS or perhaps Space Engine. ETS and ATS are really good too. There's a version of X-Plane that's actually FAA certified. I think part of the issue is simmers seem to love their ortho photo scenery. Ortho photo scenery is generally pretty terrible everywhere. Unless maybe everything is 50k res.....
  4. Appears to be a good deal older than XP11 and even Flightgear. This looks promising, i prefer GA so I'll have to follow this.
  5. Thought I would drop this thought here. I'm a big fan of flight sims. I've been playing X-Plane for the last decade or so, of many various versions but, I can't help but feel even XP11 is quite.... dated. It's awfully hard to get a consistently good framerate, especially in VR. Other programs easily simulate more now at significantly higher framerates. I kinda get the feeling except for some tweaks the graphics engine hasn't been updated in a good decade or so. I'm curious if anyone might be aware of a more up to date one, that might have slipped through the cracks of my searching. Seems Simmers are a awfully niche market. Maybe Cloud Imperium (Star Citizen) will release a ultra-lightweight version of there engine in 70 years or so?
  6. Because it's his mod. Further, if a race-car hit a wall facefirst at 100MPH the driver would die. Most of those crashes are indirect crashes that they survive because the car bounces off of things until it runs out of momentum. You can do the same thing in Kerbal if you hit things at a angle.
  7. I have some family that are incredibly stubborn. They put me to shame. The human eye dosen't quite work the same as a monitor does though. We don't really see in a fixed resolution. I've been quite fond of 4k displays, although they still seem a bit 2D. Kinda wish 3D TV's had caught on more. Would have pushed innovation. I've seen some crappy displays, and i don't think i've ever seen one that was only 30hz. Unless your talking ancient CRT TV's.
  8. I've never had any issues with a banking turn. It's a little ackward on a keyboard since A & D are mapped to yaw, not roll.
  9. Oh I'm not going to argue higher hz = pointless. I generally agree. I can certainly detect a difference between 60 and 120 (i think 240 might be pushing it though). I have a friend that plays Quake Live competitively and he big deals boosting frame-rate. I've never cared much about bunny-hopping shooters though. XD I've had my brother in law tell me 4K is useless since "you can't see higher than 1080". A claim that's debatable for a number of reasons, I don't know if he's looked at many, but i can certainly tell the difference, and most of those have crown considerably from 1080 so the pixel density is probably not much than 50% better. I suspect my eye's are a good deal less-bad than his though.
  10. Awesome! Not sure I'd be brave enough to jump out of a plane. I'd much prefer to just sit in front and be well-buckled. I think it was probably something larger than a Cessna 172 you jumped from though. The 172 is only about the size of a compact car and only has two doors next to the pilot and co-pilot.
  11. "mouse" has been a nickname of mine since high-school. "Spaaaaaaaaace" is a direct reference to the Space Core from Portal 2 who seems to be equally obsessed with space as I. I've used some others in the past, but i use this pretty much everywhere now. I should probably make a simple mouse in a spacesuit in Blender, for a profile pic. Maybe one day. XD
  12. It was a thinly-veiled inbreeding joke. Assuming Kerman has some other purpose though (like caste) still seems illogical since then you'd still see at least two or three. 'Kerman' seems meaningless.
  13. A bit dark for a Kerbal fan-story but still good nonetheless.
  14. A good-looking ship either way.
  15. Hmmm, some good ones here i use and aren't really worth repeating. I'm a big believer in Kerbal's are people and everything must be done to keep them alive. As far as craft design, no clipping unless the tanks would fit IRL. I've been trying to stay away from Gyro's after learning how inaccurate they are in KSP. Have a few exceptions though, like one is a aircraft I build to fit in a mk3 cargo bay that wouldn't change direction any other way.
  16. I always wondered why the jets were just a tiny portion of a actual jet. Makes sense. not hard to put a empty tank in front of it anyway.
  17. Excellent mod. I flew and *mostly* landed a BFR correctly with very little preparation. All the cargo space is a added bonus too. I anxiously await a IVA for the first *real* Sci-fi spaceship. XD
  18. Hi Tim! Also a fan of your channel! Apologies though, not too familiar with air brake programming. Welcome to the forum!
  19. Slicey. I do not have the coordination for very sharp things. I'd miss and somehow loose a arm.
  20. This is a old joke. A friend of mine said she did that once and it was the local Police Department calling. They were not amused. (Thread to complain about stuff) I have a new job and no access to most of the required systems yet. (New York State likes to take there time.) I have little to do currently but lurk various forums and, read. I'm bored.
