    Alright! I've pinpointed where i've landed. The spatial distortion from the map is really worst than anything i expected.

    plateau_map2.png

    plateau_map.png

    From the orbit map it looks like Germany, but from Orbit and topographic map it looks very much like Quebec; attached to a HUGE landmass that is very hard to see from the first pictures i took; the whole thing looks like a badly deformed Canada. I had trouble finding my exact spot; especially since Quickdraw likes to mess up longitudes as well as KSP (254 degree West? What?? Don't they go up to 180?) i had to pinpoint it with the seas pointing at it. Hmm.

    In light of the geographic analysis, i change my request. The large, 3000m+ Area that the plateau is attached to shall be named Terra Colossus (mountains are left unnamed) and the smaller area that is circled in the big rounded square is now to be know as New Quebec.

    I have a few ideas of what to do next, not limited to claiming stuff including:

    - Trying to Calculate the two moon's masses from establishing an 'as perfect as possible' orbit around them (just for fun, but who knows if they gave us the real mass...)

    - Testing for an Exosphere on the two satellites using parachutes (sketchy, but even a small deceleration over a long time will yield computable data; alto KSP's way of handling Kerbin's atmosphere makes me doubt it will yield anything)

    Hey all; i'm going to be pleased working with this and can't wait for new planets. In the meanwhile i'm going to claim the name for one of Minmus' most outstanding features. I want to know if it's been claimed yet.

    plateau1.png

    plateau2.png

    plateau3.png

    As you can see this huge plateau stands up from the otherwise random landscape; it's easy to notice but i still can't find it in the Quikgrid. So i propose to name it Colossus Plateau; in honor of the Apollo guidance computer OS that guided Apollo 8 around the moon in the first circumlunar flight; and also because it is so amazingly defined as if it was carved out of the ice by a giant. Along with the main geographical feature, i also request that the Area defined by a rectangle from 11°36'31''N - 253°57'24"W to 11°39'24"N - 254°0'52" be from now on referred to as the New Montreal Surface Base.

    The landing of those probes was quite uneventful; Minsat 3 landed practically on the other side of Minmus then made a ballistic hop and adjusted for a precise landing next to it. Both probes have at least 50% fuel left and next stop might be those methane lakes.

    I inquire; who has the best map of Minmus?

    BR-1 Strike Bomber

    kspbomba3.png

    Role: Bomber, Reconnaissance, Strike, Anti-Ship Strike

    Max Speed: Mach 2.2

    Crusing Speed: 400 m/s

    Crusing Altitude: 15,000m

    Range: 800km

    Weapon: One KSM-7 Air-to-Surface Cruise Missile, bombs, Nuclear weapons

    Nice. But i can do better.

    UR-2 Long-Range Bomber

    ksprecon2.png

    Role: Bomber, Reconnaissance, Naval Patrol, Certified Trolling

    Max Speed: Mach 1.4

    Cruising Speed: Mach 0.9 at 10,000m or Mach 1.2 at 13,000m

    Fuel: 2250kg internal

    Fuel Consumption: 0.3kg/s at high efficiency cruise; 1.2kg/s at transsonic cruise

    Range: With 2x500kg Drop Tanks and high-efficiency fuel-saving cruise at 10,000m; 2,200km

    Weapons: Anything you can thing of, even anti-submarine sonobuoys

    I brought this baby to the North Pole and back; i kind of wasted some fuel in the first leg and had only enough fuel for a good landing at the pad but not even a turn-around. It flies like a dream but has a funny 20degree AoA at altitude wich is no real problem. I had the pleasure of having to rely on the position of Minnus and the Sun when flying near the pole to keep my orientation; otherwise i would have gone lost and never made it back. The entire flight lasted 1hr and 48 minutes.

    Here are some things i noted could be fixed:

    - We clearly need more and brighter, more distinct stars.

    - The runway needs to be way longer and wider. It also desperately need night landing lights!! I just don\'t risk landing on the runway as landing on the ground is just as well

    - WE NEED MORE INSTRUMENTS! Please!! XD

    Does anyone know what the land distance record for an airbreathing aircraft is?

    YOU WIN EVERYTHING!!! YOU WIN THE INTERNET!!!

    Do you have Python experience? It would be great, nay, godlike if a python module could be written for KSP!!! What are your tricks? I could study a bit and attempt to develop one if you are too busy with VB.net, wich i have no idea what it is. Python is more accessible to everyone and would make KSP a SERIOUS heavyweight!

    It would be kinda difficult, considering that all ships can be different. However, I once managed to make a ship that auto-orbited, back at 0.9, using a purely-timing based script I made. I don\'t have it anymore, though, because I use a different computer now, and I decided not to port the hard drive over (it was almost full and had lots of useless stuff in it).

    I think the trick is simply changing the angles of the ASAS; (i would consider ASAS autopilot in this case) it would make the rocket use the ASAS for making changes in angles. Throttle is easy. I wrote a little orbital insertion autopilot in python just for kicks and with a good code you can trim the manoevering very smoothly.

    you guys said you needed a break a break form what are you are doing is small bug fixes wow so hard :P :P :P :P :P

    Uploaded this to show a friend and told myself why not post it, it\'s not a spaceship per say but i will get to showing those too soon. This being said, I present to you Kwebek\'s nuclear deterrence \'big stick\', the MTL-100 Inter Continental range Ballistic Missile (ICBM)! It\'s closely based on the R-36 ICBM with it\'s huge size and payload.

    72f4ft.png

    Stages: Three

    Diameter: 3m

    Height: 18m

    Parameters at Burnout (ballistic): 2,000m/s at 110km

    Range: Fractional Orbit Bombardment System, Global (Typical ballistic range: 1,498Km, equivalent to 15,000 earth KM)

    Payload: Nine 850 Kiloton Re-Entry Vehicles

    Method of Launch: Soft Pad or Re-inforced silo (Gas-Ejected Cold-Launch)

    Hello from Quebec

    Hey everyone, i\'m from Quebec (Canada) and i am hooked on KSP. I am decided to buy the game once it\'s out, i can\'t wait till the next versions come out and land on the moon. I\'m a rocket science and space exploration fan and i love realism. I Hope i can put some valid ideas up for discussion.
