  1. While Falcon 9 in a normal flight profile fly about 60, but in January 2021, a new record was set with 143 into orbit in a single launch, for a specific orbit. The range is between 340 kilometers to 614 kilometers. But now the Gen2 Starlinks are larger and generate more power than originally Starship 1.0 LEO, will be able to deliver in orbit between 400 and 1000 depending of the orbit, using the next starlink generation.
  2. The preparation of Inspiration4, is being awesome. The launch will be in 2 days (15 September 2021), if weather collaborate this time. There is a new TV Series about Inspiration4 with all crew and family, explaining the crew selection and also with Elon Musk interviews on netflix, for those that can watch I recommend! The Idea is to inspire that every body, and not only an astronaut can go to space. Origin of Inspiration4 name: Inspiration=Because the big goal of the mission (first civilian orbital flight) is to inspire people all over the earth. Nº4 because, There will be a crew of 4 in the Mission. Nº4 because, It's the 4th crew mission after Space Shuttle Jared Isaacman, have a tone of flight experience, will be the Leader of the mission. Dr. Sian Proctor, is also pilot and her dad worked for NASA in the Apollo missions Chris Sembroski, is the Mission Specialist. Hayley Arceneaux, is a survival of cancer in her childhood, and at the present day work as physician’s assistant at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, will be the first person with less than 30 years in space (29) and the first one that use a prosthesis in her leg. All the crew represent all the good/best among the common civil population. A typical NASA Insertion Orbit is 200Km, ISS is at 408 km orbit, but Inspiration4 will go to a AP of 575km: NOTE: They will not get the Astronauts Wings, after the journey, once they didn't have done all the training of an Astronaut, but they have done a sub training of that process in the last months. But they might earn the, official commercial astronaut wings with the FAA. 5 Days ago: All Crew have the tanning done is just a matter of doing the stack and the final preparations of the Crew Dragon Resilience (Dragon C207), will do the second flight: - This is the new version of the crew dragon that that will do mission of three-day flight with exclusively private citizens on board - The apogee will be 590 km and the inclination will be 51.6° - The Crew Dragon Resilience will fly with Falcon 9 Block 5 booster B1062 Next Step, Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Complex 39A, 15 September 2021.
  3. Maybe because i have 3 monitors on this version is off screen? I will use now the 3 monitors as 1, with a resolution of: 5760x1080, if it off screen, if it is due a wrong initial pixel position calculation it will appear this time: v0.2.4 (show the FPS) v0.3.0 (don't show the FPS) But no... don't appear... in (v0.3.0). Then get back to Normal setup with v0.2.4:
  4. Hello @linuxgurugamer Are you sure that this new version (v0.3.0) is working properly? The new graph appears but, When I press F8 to toggle it the FPS don't show on screen, but it works perfectly with (v0.2.4) even in 1.12.2 There isn't any error in log file:https://www.dropbox.com/s/fjncwfv0mxxj7hj/KSP - showFPS-0.3.0.zip?dl=0 For me is not critical once I still use the previous v0.2.4 good version, but I found it odd that no one had reported it before, or its just me
  5. No, is not like that, you never had an Inspiration 1, the official reasons are the ones that I enumerated in my post above.

  8. Nice seams better, do you have a new link for this craft version? Is this one? https://kerbalx.com/Lisias/FS-Prop-Test-173 I tested that one, I just updated the breaks to 90% you will see in video, it will make the landing much easier... About the Gs, yes you can limit a bit more the elevators in order do decrease it a little bit. 6Gs without pilot suit feels like 10Gs with a pilot suit, so you will notice it... @Lisias
  9. yes the TWR of 1.17 in this airplane, is too much the value should be between 0.6 and 0.8 it would be more realistic. There are a few aircraft in the world that today do more than 1.0 TWR: The addon SpeedUnitChanger here don't affect the FPS... you will not even notice and can be disabled even if loaded in gui.
  10. Hi @Lisias yes the airplane is nice, but please don't do looping like that with full throttle at the descent! , in real life neither pilot or aircraft can do that. Try to use SpeedUnitChanger (it helps a lot) to check the real speed in knots make more sense in a airplane, which is very useful to fly an airplane in KSP, I use it a lot! A good loop should pool about 3.5G Never exceed +6G or -3G or 182 kn that is more realistic for this airplane, which belong to Acrobatic Category . I just found strange that when I reduced the throttle in the engine it had a tendency to do left that is not natural. Actually the normal thing is have that to the at take off, due torque effect and slipstream but that is not very well reproduced in KSP in my opinion. Check navball units "The newer KSP add'ons visuals are something, I can tell you. Beautiful video! (and nice landing!!!! )" I changed the config files of EVO and RSSVE in order to do a merge and get the best of those instead of just use one or another... Cheers!
  11. I will test this airplane with the Ultra-EVO The test rig was installed with: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pmborg/SpaceX-RO-Falcons/main/ULTRA-EVO-INSTALLER-v1.0-KSP1.11%2B.bat Than added: Firespitter (Firespitter v7.17) Firespitter Core (FirespitterCore v7.17) Firespitter Resources config (FirespitterResourcesConfig v7.17) KSP Recall (KSP-Recall v0.2.0.5) TweakScale - Rescale Everything! (TweakScale v2.4.5.3) @Lisias VIDEO:
  12. Hello all, I finished the script to install all this visual pack, I hope you all enjoy it. It is available here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pmborg/SpaceX-RO-Falcons/main/ULTRA-EVO-INSTALLER-v1.0-KSP1.11%2B.bat You can just copy it to main KSP root directory (sample: C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program) and then just run it. It is done in order to support KSP v1.11 and KSP v1.12, was tested in both. I am not sure if this subject deserves a dedicated post thread, I will count with your suggestions. Thanks and cheers! Note: I will release later a final pack with the ship and the mods for the ship. But once this ship is very complex to operate due life support need a separated video to show how it works.
  13. I am still trying to find the best Visual Combo: WORK IN PROGRESS Custom configs: Addons with Special Honor Mentions: DavonTCsystemsMod, CivilianPopulation and ShowFPS (from @linuxgurugamer) to do the initial VSTOL stunt maneuver TweakScale and KSP Recall (from @Lisias) OPT (from @JadeOfMaar) KSPI+InterstellarFuelSwitch (from: @FreeThinker) Kopernicus BE special release: (KopernicusBE_19+_Release81.zip ) (from: @R-T-B) RSS+EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements+EVO with ultra settings: https://github.com/Its-Just-Luci/EVO/releases/download/Alpha-v0.2a/EVO-64k.Alpha.v0.2.zip TUFX,and many others... FINAL NOTES: All of this will be installed by one script only, I will add more details later...
  14. Correction: Scholz’s star passed within a light-year of the Solar System, 70 or 80 thousand years ago, about 55,000 astronomical units from our Sun (5.1 trillion miles). The Scholz’s star would have been 100 times too dim to be seen with the naked eye. more: https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/blog/1549/a-passing-star-our-suns-near-miss/
  15. First screen shot Appears ok, Once I am limiting to 144 FPS...(VSYNC with Max monitor refresh rate) is at 144 FPS so I also don't detect slowness...
  16. yes the maximum is about 4300m/s with current version of for the ATM engines in a Low or a High flight.
  17. With the current engine version with full tanks is about 9541m/s using only the VAC engines. The target is about 11,610m/s for Mars mission.
  18. Hello! Did you checked already this video done with "SpaceX RO Falcons"
  19. I would like to use some realistic textures like those, but without that this is what I got: I hope you like it!
  20. Yes... its possible... The SHIP was re-scaled: TO KSP: 119.735794 x 9.08776093 I hope you like it! I need to work now on the Booster Catch!
