    PLANE PROBLEM!

    I agree about the drag (draggy items on lifting surfaces == covering solar panels with huge lights)  but also you don't have anywhere near enough lift areas for me. I like to design mine so the wings have at least the same area as the body (think would it glide if no power). 

    TBH though, that thing looks so long if you launched from the vab launch pad, the nose would probably already be in space :wink:

    SPH didn't I say it?

    still not working, looks like a bone now

    @Anonymous49 Exactly that. You've got way too much drag in the back. I don't think you need that many intakes, while I don't recognise the circular intakes you're using they'll probably be enough on their own and you should be able to get rid of the radial intakes and reduce your drag.

    You could probably also put those RCS tanks and batteries into a cargo bay to further reduce your drag.

    ok

    i had a small mk2 spaceplane ready in the SPH. I wanna fly it. Into orbit. I've flew quite a number of planes (2 to be exact). One of them is the 4 engine commercial jet and the other is a failed single juno powered plane. While as I wanted to continue to push this forward, I unleashed the new jet plane - The Fighter 1 SSTO. pQk8Vk7.png

    The 4 panther engine and 2 swivels give a good amount of thrust, After reaching 100m/s I took off but then many drag came from the front according to the aerodynamic forces thingy (F12). There was a ton of drag at the back but basically nothing that gives drag in the front. What's the problem? Thanks!

    Download? Did you mean to include a craft in this? 

    yeah

    Why launch into 80x80km orbit? Why is 14km Pe at the Mun the best? 

    To match the delta v map. 80x80km orbit is LKO and 14x14km is the Mun's low orbit

    I forgot to include craft manager so maybe after I launch this test with the science lab. I need to close ksp

    Remember to read this first! 

    We finished like everything in kerbin that gives science, except for things like visiting the poles or landing on badlands which is super hard and unefficient.

    Lets do something fun! Why not?

    Exploration.

    Download this craft.

    Put Jeb as pilot, Bob as scientist, Bill as engineer. Bill is relatively optional but WE NEED XP!!!! FOR EVA CONSTRUCTION!!!!

    Anyways, launch it into a 80x80km orbit like normal.

    Rotate the screen so the mun its in 3 o' clock, moving anti-clockwise

    At 6 o' clock, set up a maneuver node, the PE should be under 60km but above 10km, 14 km is best

    Do you injection burn half the time before the node

    shutdown your engine once your PE is good.

    Once you're at mun's SOI but over 60km, do your science experiments like normal, including EVA report.

    Put them into the ESU, EVA Bob to restore them

    At the PE, burn retrograde.

    Our upper stage engine is SUPER efficient and can burn over 20 minutes.

    Try to get a 14x14 km orbit.

    Make sure the orbital inclination is at 0, if not set a maneuver node a change it, you can check the map view

    Use mechjeb maneuver planner --> change inclination to perfect it

    Retrograde from PE decreases the AP, retrograde from AP decreases the PE

    try limiting your thrust limiter to make it circular.

    Once your orbit is under 60km, do all your science experiments and store them in the ESU.

    Restore the science Jr and a Mystery goo.

    EVA Jeb and do a EVA report in those biomes:

    1. canyons

    2. east crater

    3. east farside crater

    4. farside crater

    5. highlands

    6. lowlands

    7. midlands craters

    8. midlands

    9. northwest crater

    Once finished, burn  prograde from the farside of the mun and target for a Kerbin PE of 30km.

    Conduct a material study and a GOO unit above 250km in kerbin

    No more science, retract your antenna, ditch your second stage and use the ablator from the bottom command pod to dissipate the heat.

    Recover the vessel.

    With over 500 science, go for heavy rocketry, propulsion systems, space exploration and advanced exploration.

    Why no advanced electrics.

    No worries, we will get it very soon.

    Our science lab will do the job

    So we went for advanced exploration.

    THIS should do the job.

    Launch it into orbit and take a bunch of EVA reports (Only EVA the pilot, the rest should be scientists) and crew reports.

    Turn them into data by clicking on the green button

    If it's a EVA report keep the experiment (Should say 0.0 science, that's normal)

    get in the pod

    Right click on the pod and click on review stored data

    Click on the green button and there would be data in the science lab, turning it into science.

    While flying in the air (flying low and flying high), take more data by taking crew reports

    At space, take a crew report.

    Take EVA reports in the following biomes

    1. Shores

    2. Water

    3. Grasslands

    4. Mountains

    5. Deserts

    6. Highlands

    Right click the lab and level up the kerbals

    Before we continue, finish your tourist contracts.

    No science needed, yet.

    We just need the money and not lose money and reputation because we time warp too much

    Land in highlands after 1 tourist mission and take a surface sample for 2.3 science

    We now have 120.4 science

    Do a rescue mission

    Accept a Explorer kerbin contract, it should tell you to rendezvous and dock.

    Do the rescue mission first.

    Download this craft.

    Set the craft you need to rescue as target

    Wait till the target is flying over the desert and launch it.

    Aim for a steeper trajectory.

    Take a crew report while under 10000 meters and above the water

    get a circular orbit

    once you're close, set a maneuver node.

    Turn lights on for a better visibility

    prograde or retrograde a bit until a close intersect says 0.0km

    once you arrived at the node ignite your engine at 10% thrust

    Once you are around 100m transfer the pilot to the cabins

    once you are around 80m use the [ or ] keys to switch to your target and EVA him/her.

    Use his EVA jetpack to go to your original craft.

    get in the original craft

    transfer the rescued kerbal to the cabin and your pilot to the command seat and land

    For a bit more science take a EVA report in the upper atmosphere

    Take a part test contract for 1 science

    It should be a contract on ground

    finish it

    Now there shouldn't be any contracts active but the Explore kerbin one, which doesn't expire

    Go to the tracking station

    Terminate the empty ship - we already brought the kerbal back home

    Find our vessel which should be named SCIENCE!!!!

    On the left hand side, double click it.

    Time warp to 100000x

    right click the science lab

    once there's 350-350.1 science, land it

    takes around 2y, mines is 2y89d

    What's yours? Comment down below!!!!

    Lets land in the water, no matter west or east of ksc, just target the land in front of it

    while flying above, take a eva report around 1km above the water

    take a eva report and a surface sample when swimming in the water

    Recover vessel

    With exactly 510 science, lets upgrade again!

    Go for precision engineering (for decoupler, cubic struts and probe core), advanced electrics (for solar panels) and advanced flight control (for rcs (for docking)).

    We should have exactly 100 science

    Now we want to finish the docking

    This seems a good craft

    For me in space, I undock the small probe core with my pod

    Then with the pod, I keep on hovering, playing with engines (of course in a stable orbit and within the physics range)

    Then I flip the thing around and rendezvous and dock back with the probe

    If it didn't have a tick, use cheats

    go to the ALT+F12 menu

    Contracts --> Active --> Complete.

    Land it.

    if you used cheats then add 12000 funds

    Quit to main menu

    Go to Kerbal Space Program --> saves --> (name) --> persistent.sfs

    Find for sci = 108.0

    Change it into sci = 109.0

    Then do this, we want more scientists for our next mission

    If the guy you've rescued was a scientist, skip this part

    Search for "ROSTER"

    Find for the kerbal you've rescued earlier

    Under traits, change him from whatever it is (Pilot or engineer) to scientist, remember to type it correctly!

    save it

    quit ksp and open it again

    Upgrade the astronaut complex and hire 2 scientists

    Complete a rescue mission

    make him/her a scientist (if he/she is not)

    Building very heavy rockets

    Hello,

     

    I have been trying to build a replica of the UR-700. A problem has arisen where due to its massive size, it is virtually several different rockets (not boosters, full fledged rockets) packeted together. As a result, it is too heavy to lift off.

     

    It has six Rhino engines right now and weighs 1524 tons. My question is-

     

    Is there a way to build such heavy rockets that will fly?

     

    CEjZ9xc.png

     

    that happens if you have a too small twr. Don't use rhinos use a bigger engine like the mammoth.

    or if not the mastodon engine

    Please note that this thing took around 3 weeks in total.

    Planning: 7 days

    Eliminations: 1 day

    Try but fails: 1 day

    Writing & doing it at the same time: 11 days

    7+1+1+11=2

    20 days in total

    I seriously don't hope that it will die within a day after 20 days/almost 3 weeks of work.

    I... don't wanna complain, don't wanna say bad things, don't wanna criticize.

    Just have a super simple question: How to do Tip 1?

    If you want to ask how I made tutorials I can tell you. You might not understand. It takes weeks, or even months. Like my "Early career games" ones took something like 3 weeks of posting & editing. The "Getting more science" is easier and only took something like a week.

    This is how I did it, since I cannot youtube. And also just some extra information is that I heard that they are outdated.

    I go into the wiki, I don't follow those useless old tutorials that the community made in the wiki. I go to wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Science and wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Technology_Tree, scroll out everything that gives science. Then scroll out delta v maps, wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Kerbin and stuff like that. Mark my plans in a document or something like that. Try to do some proofreading, shorten a bit of time and stuff like that. Redo the same step again with a different plan. I did something like 2 or 3 for "Early career games". When I found the fastest, cheapest, easiest one I delete all the old ones, open a new career and then type it in the most understandable way I can.

    When rendezvousing with another craft I cant seem to get the markers to show up. I get the approach markers but then when it comes to the EVA step even with the ships 100m away from each other I cant see it and there are no markers around it.

    They are like 4 little yellow L's that make a box around the target.

    Please advise.

    Great tutorial BTW

    thanks, btw i am still working on it. Still making pictures, they're complicated. I had a similar design that will give a ton of science in kerbin. Coming out soon
