  1. Daxworks Lightning Cruiser The Daxworks Lightning Cruiser is the fastest goddamn airplane in it's class (supersonic). With a maximum cruising speed of Mach 4, your passengers can meet those tough deadlines while traveling in luxury. Unlike other supersonic aircraft, the Lightning Cruiser has a large, aerodynamically efficient wing that reduces landing speeds and provides plenty of lift for low-speed maneuvering. Additionally, the Lightning Cruiser is equipped with best-in-class safety features, including ejector seats for all passengers and crew, complimentary barf bags, emergency parachute for short landings, and water landing capability. While the Lightning Cruiser is somewhat more expensive than the competitor's aircraft, it offers unparalleled safety and performance. No other aircraft comes close. An ER variant is also available. Now taking pre-orders for delivery in Q2 2018! Disclaimer: Parachutes for ejector seats sold separately. Warranty does not cover water damage. Specifications Maximum Cruising Speed: 1350m/s (1250m/s ER) Range: 1900km (3900km ER) Cruising Altitude: 18km (19km ER) Takeoff/Landing Speed: 60m/s MTOW: 25721kg (30221kg ER) Fuel Capacity: 1030kal (1830kal ER) Passenger Capacity: 40 Price: Lightning Cruiser $57,225,000 Lighning Cruiser ER $58,325,000 Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fljzwkmnspt77bs/AAD3AZsc3gcbLHiJ6SC5Uo4Ka?dl=0
  2. So, we've established its cheaper to go from kerbin to eeloo, but if you have a craft that can get to moho and you can refuel it there, then maybe you will have enough dV to get to eeloo and refuel again? Sounds like an interesting mission to me.
  3. On a side note, if you go really far from the sun it will crash anything in a low orbit because of floating point rounding errors.
  4. You could nudge it with RCS but that just sounds too tedious to be worth it.
  5. This was in sandbox. Turns out, it's hard to fly up 302 kerbals when they start costing 10 Million a piece!
  6. But some of the contracts would force you to do things that are impossible with your current tech, or have very little reward (test a mainsail on the surface of Duna for instance).
  7. You could use both sticks for control. I can imagine some situations where you really want all 3 axes on the sticks, especially when flying planes. Also, just personal preference, but I like to have pitch/roll on the right stick and yaw on the left. It would be nice to put throttle on the left stick too but that could be difficult because the stick is spring loaded. In model aircraft, we have the up/down axis of the left stick not spring loaded so we can leave throttle set in one position.
  8. There isn't a bug here. What's happening is you have a lot of sideslip in the wrong direction. The plane is flying crooked with the side of the plane exposed to the airflow and that's causing the sideways body lift. Look at your navball. You can see it yawing away from the turn a lot. You definitely don't have enough of a rudder. Try a larger rudder (like a large delta wing with control surfaces) and put it as far back as you can. That should prevent the sideslip.
  9. Also get the stage recovery mod. I think it makes a pretty good attempt at realism and feels non-cheaty. This will make a huge difference in your budget and enable you to design non-ssto rockets that can be fully recovered.
  10. Lol, no crosswalks, but I spent over 100,000 funds to have the docking ports spray painted by union workers.
  11. Built in 26 launches, this station has a mass of 301,000kg, with 320 parts and a crew capacity of 302. It rotates at 35deg/s to simulate sea level gravity (using the Persistent Rotation mod to keep the station pointed at the Sun and rotating through timewarp). All the docking ports are actually connected! Call it luck or skill, but somehow I managed to align everything and make this work. Enjoy!
  12. I'm not sure if it would work with RSS but MechJeb. Without mapview you're going to need computer guidance (NASA does).
