KSP Version: 1.8.1 DOWNLOAD

Kerbal Space Program Communty Rewind 2018 An unofficial representation of the modding community. I wanted to make a KSP video about some of the mods we've been playing this past year. Mods that changed the way we think, play and mods that will forever be in our GameData folder no matter what KSP version. I wanted to make a video to appreciate the modding community by making something that truly represents what we as modders can bring to a world full of little green men and women. I've asked your opinion! I wanted to know what your #1 mod is and why. So by the end of the year I had a video that represented the modding community. Because without them, KSP is not the same.

New video from the official KSP youtube channel. There is a lot of awesome looking stuff in here, so I'll leave others to do the forensic analysis:

The launch of a new aircraft from Kestrel, this time a seaplane! More video to come soon...

3 months in the making, I present to you my masterpiece. Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by! (YT really doesn't like dark scenes btw)

Stock Glider Catalogue Although KSP lacks wind and thermals, or indeed any means to actually maintain altitude in a glider without self-propelling, I have still found a tremendous amount of fun in building "sailplanes", aircraft with very low stall speeds and very good glide ratios. I think there's a lot of fun to be had in throwing them off cliffs and seeing how far it's possible to go, or what dangerous aerobatics you can perform. Thus, I present the Greenhayes Aircraft Glider Catalogue: four different sailplanes, each with their own handling characteristics and visual appeal. General Advice As a rule of thumb, the best fun can be had when you launch your gliders off a large hill or mountain. A good starting point is the mountain range east of the Kerbal Space Centre - you can use the new "Set Position" cheat to place your craft on the perfect peak. All of the gliders in the catalogue come equipped with three glide extension rockets (or a reusable self-sustaining rocket on the "Stork"), mapped to the space bar. These are to be used at your leisure - to gain speed before maneuvering, or to gain a little bit of altitude and go further, or even to take off from level ground - the choice is yours. An important difference that the gliders show from normal KSP aircraft is their tandem landing gear - they will rest with one wingtip on the ground before takeoff. Thus, it is very important to keep the wings level on takeoff and landing, to avoid any crashes. Remember to start trying to level out as soon as your aircraft begins to move! Greenhayes Model 16 "Cumulus" The Cumulus is a fairly docile, easy-to-handle two-seater with three pairs of Glide Extension RocketsTM strapped to the side, so that you can get yourself out of a pickle, or self-launch in a hurry. Recommended for beginners and for long, calm flights. The wheels don't retract on this one - no need to remember to put the gear down. Greenhayes Model 33 "Vulture" y The Vulture is a single-seat, tailless glider with excellent acrobatic potential - it is highly maneuverable on the pitch axis, and will flip around quite easily due to its wing configuration. It is Be gentle on takeoff and particularly landing, as the fragile fuselage is easily damaged. Not recommended for beginners, but good fun in experienced hands. Greenhayes Model 05 "Seagull" The Seagull is one of the first gliders built at Greenhayes, and its handling reflects its age - very stable, with a good glide ratio and a low top speed. The rudder on this glider is particularly powerful - use it in your aerobatics, or to keep your turns coordinated. Greenhayes Model 15 "Stork" The Stork is a durable, high-performance single-seat sailplane which can be put to just about any use the pilot wants. This is the only glider of the catalogue to feature permanent self-launch engines and flaps, allowing experienced pilots to control their approach speed and angle. Flaps are mapped to Action Group 1.

This is a crewed mission to Mars, that I have worked on for almost a year. I used (and still use) KSP version 1.2.2 with Real Solar System, Realism Overhaul and Realistic Progression 0 mods (RP-0, not to be confused with the newer RP-1). The reason why I still use KSP 1.2.2 is because of my 4 year old RP-0 career save (created in January 2016) that is in the very advanced stage of progression. The year in that save is 2029 as of typing this post. It wasn't possible to transfer that save to KSP 1.3.1, because the evolution of RP-0 (called RP-1) that was released for KSP 1.3.1 changed too many things for my old save to be compatible. My long running RP-0 save is also the reason why completing my Mars mission took so long. It's not a 'single mission' save, there are many other missions in progress simultaneously, that need to be attended to from time to time (probe course corrections, moon/planet flybys, station crew rotations etc).

A Seaplane Bomber that Failed to Break any Ground In 1950, the Navy was left without an effective nuclear platform in an era where it needed one to stay relevant in the interservice politics of the day - and the Seamaster was their ticket to changing that. Fleets of seaplane bombers would form a mobile, resilient, and hard to detect striking force with the help and supply of submarines and dedicated support vessels. From there, they could carry nuclear payloads deep into the Soviet Union after launching from places where no Air Force bomber could hope to launch. Despite the many marvels of Engineering that went into making the Seamaster a reality, it was doomed to the history books as a failed project. For the details of the story, please enjoy this video - I put a lot of time and effort into making it. The Craft Download can be found here: https://kerbalx.com/servo/P6M-Seamaster I'm planning on making this a series showcasing the flops, failures, and fantasies of the Aviation world. The next video will likely showcase the F-111B Aardvark and tell the story of how a failed joint strike fighter of sorts led to the development of the greatest carrier-based interceptor ever - the F-14 Tomcat. As this is a new series, I'd love to hear your comments on it below, or just ideas for future stories to tell in this medium. Until then, cheers, and happy flying! -Servo

Heya, I'm sharing with you some of Valentina's adventures, mostly flown and documented by my friend @Pouicpouic Episode 1 & 2 This first two parts are about boating on Kerbin and Laythe, the second one was hiding a few surprises in its cargobays .. : D Those missions were designed and flown exclusively by pouic After that, we decided to share our crafts and designing-style to land an outpost on the Mun, with rovers and stuff to have fun around .. Here's what happenned ! The biggest structure above the cliff is intended to provide a better view to kerbals sitting on the edge, because why no, its holidayyyyyyys. The sledges were created out of a stupid idea (really?) and it worked out perfectly ! The two buildings in the end will be detailled later . This second part, still on the Mun, is Valentina having fun in a very sturdy rover Hope you enjoyed

https://imgur.com/a/iCzL2r0 Like the title says patched conics going crazy around Jool. I set it to 2 or 6 and still crazy. Its making setting up maneuvers difficult. Its causing lag when calculating. Worst its crashing KSP every time I switch away from a probe with a maneuver node on intercept with Jool. Verified files on Steam. Only have one mod, alarm clock, which I deleted with no improvement. Suggestions?

Typically I hang out in the subreddit and discord, but I thought these ideas were worth sharing here on the forums, too! Enjoy. My Robotic Contraptions

Hello everyone, I wanted to play KSP for a long time now and finally found some time and bought it. Unfortunately I am getting some weird video glitches in-game, as seen here: https://imgur.com/a/12FnXaA I'm running the game on Windows 10 using a Dell XPS 15 9560 Notebook with i7-7700HQ CPU, 16GB RAM and dedicated GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card (notebook edition). As soon as the glitch appears it does not go disappear until I close KSP. Usually it starts shortly after I start a Training scenario or few minutes in, but I also had it during startup once. At one time I did receive a windows notification saying: "Application has been blocked from using the graphics hardware", so I ran the fix recommended in some other forums: [snip] I haven't received the message since (although I haven't tried too often because the game is unplayable), but the glitch is still there. I also made sure I am running on the Nvidia card instead of integrated Intel graphics and reinstalled the graphics driver as well as reinstalling the game itself. It is also important to know that I have never had this issue with other games of applications. I can't seem to find any other thread dealing with that kind of glitch and was therefore not able to find any solution yet. I'd appreciate any kind of suggestion or idea you might have. EDIT: I had the "Application has been blocked from using the graphics hardware" again a couple of times. However, when I check the integrity of the game files via Steam it always either finds 1 or 2 corrupt files whenever the glitch appears (meaning every time in my case). Thanks in advance!
