  1. What version of FAR are you using? I'm having the same issue.
  2. LKO, This is a transfer efficiency challenge afterall.
  3. Inclination doesn't matter, Final orbit must be lower than, Vall's Orbit. To clarify this is a gravity assist challenge, Scoring will be calculated by ∆V saved. Return is not required. Scoring system ∆V Expended - 8080ms = Score Rules ====== -No cheating(f12,Kraken-drive,Excessive part-clipping,Infiglider(If that is still possible)) -ISRU is allowed but you must record your Collective ∆V(If you use 1000m/s and go refuel and use another 500m/s Your total is 1500m/s) -∆V starts counting in orbit. This is a transfer efficiency challenge after all. -Screenshots of gravity assists are needed(KER or MJ should be open at this time to prove your ∆V usage) -Screenshot of launch and orbit is needed. -Screenshot of aerobreaking(If done) is needed. -Screenshot of Final Circular orbit is needed.(It doesn't need to be perfect...) -Information and Piloting mods are allowed and recommended. -Procedural Fairings is allowed ( I believe the stock ones don't secure the cargo well enough. ) =========Leaderboard===========
  4. I find that jet engines are a great starter node for funds, Accept aerial surveys near the station,(Past the desert area is too far) and below 12,000m. Anything above cannot be done with the Standard jets. These contracts provide about 80k and 6 science and a bit of rep on Standard Hard.
  5. Valentina and Jeb are dead, They died in aerodynamic failure during reentry of a sub-orbital tourism rocket.
  6. Hi, I've revived this challenge, Original can be found here The Challenge: Build a plane that carries the most Kerbals as possible to the secondary runway on the island and back Rules: 1. stock or mods (inform me what your using) 2. Kerbals must be in Chair, Command pod, or the Hitchhiker 3. Must land safely 4. Cannot drop anything 5. Pictures of achievements and Scoring requirements or it wont count 6. No alt+f4 7. Stock leaderboard includes Info Mods. Scoring: 1. How much does it look like a commercial Airplane Ex: Boeing 747, Airbus a380, Etc.: Max 20 points 2. How many kerbals does it hold: 1 point per Kerbal 3. How stable it is: max 10 Achievements: Worth 15 Points Each Rocket Plane: Use rockets, and no Jet Engines Do a Barrel Roll: Do a Barrel Roll Duh... (not to be confused with aileron roll) Just One More Seat: bring 25+ Kerbals Worth 25 Points Each Cruising Altitude: fly to 10,000m before landing Emergency landing: Land safely with wheels retracted Safety First: don't exceed 3g's International Flyer: fly across the ocean from the second runway, land, then fly back to the KSC runway (ask for clarification if needed) Electrical problem: do the challenge at night with no lights (includes landing gear light) Worth 50 Points Each Strutless: use no struts Being Frugal: use 1 Tank Scoreboard Stock 1. Scoreboard FAR 1. Scoreboard Modded 1.
  7. Droptanks for a little extra range in survey contacts
  8. Can anyone see and obvious flaws in this craft? http://url.ie/vv2d
  9. You need to edit your persistant.sfs and Repair the docking port through that, Theres plenty of information on how to do it on google.
  10. Running mac so, I don't think I have DxDiag, As for logs, It fired none It seems that the game didn't register it was doing anything abnormal, Zooming out Turned it back into something like the First Picture but spazzy. I find that this issue is caused by an overload of textures trying to render. I noticed something weird is going on in the top right Using: -Fine Print -Kethane ( Seems to be incompatible with Unity?, May change to Karbonite and see what happens) -Alarm Clock -000Toolbar -StationPartsExpansion[Removed it was causing issues] -ScanSat -Engineer -RasterPropMoniter(I don't remember getting this one must be a dependency) -NearFutureProps(Another Dependency) It's too long to Spoiler http://mypastebin.com/pK0fg7NWIwza
  11. Yeah it started like the first image, Just kept playing until.... It started flashing quickly and then this happened.
  12. https://www.youtube.com/embed/77scRTTXTl8 It was designed to crash.
  13. A recent study on the health benefits of Kerb-ridium has come up with good results. "Prolong exposure to Kerbridium has some interesting effects, Such as reduced aging, Stimulating Cellular Repair and Muscle growth." - Landous Kerman. One problem, Kerbridium (Kh4Ag2C) is not easy to come by, Although from our surface sample database. We know of one place that is full of the stuff. Pol is literally 75% Kerbridium. The media knows also and has leaked it out to the General Public, We are being sent at least 50 Letters a Day Asking for a Ferry to Pol. Aside from the horrid backstory, Scoring: Money per ticket= Cost not recovered Example, Lets say I had a Crew Ferry that could go to Pol Refuel there and Come back. Capacity=4 Kermen 1000 Unit of LF+O=3000 3000/4=750$ Per Ticket. If the Ferry was non reusable it would include the cost of any unsalvageable parts. Rules, -Infrastructure must be delivered via Launcher(No HyperEDITING!) -Refuel missions to the station will be deducted from your total score,(How many times you can use your station before refueling it)[Once I find a way to score it] -Winner is the person with the lowest P/Ticket Cost -Modded Entries will go under a different leaderboard -Non of that Alt+F12 rubbish. -Information Only Mods will be ranked under Stock Leaderboard. -All SSTO planes used to deliver stuff must Land after it drops it's payload(Unless it's meant to stay up there for some reason), Just don't leave 10 SSTO's doing nothing just floating around. -Must be done in Career( You can edit the Science Points and Cash to unlock everything) -Must be done in Easy Difficulty -No using Recovery Transponder Fittings (Administration Building) -Videos or Screenshots are acceptable. -Due to health and safety regulations, Nuclear Engines must not be fired in the Atmosphere. -All Passengers must be in pressurized seats. Leaderboard: MODS: - - - - - STOCK: - - - - - My attempt is coming soon
  14. An Interplanetary probe, http://www.speedyshare.com/gJxuV/Probe-Launcher.craft Flaws: Too tall, Oversized control fins causing drag, Lander only works on atmospheric planets, Not sure if it can make it to Laythe 13.9k D/V budget Very low TWR, If wind were ever added this thing would fall and die.
  15. Try this out, It's basically a Parachute module with a Landing base, You need something to get it to the Lab and Dock it on to the station. http://www.speedyshare.com/DhHmu/Emergancy-Lander-X.craft
