mincespy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Welcome to the kerbal book of world records! This aims to document all the records achieved by kerbalnauts, such as speed records, distance records, etc.If you think you\'ve done something worthy of a world record, post it here! No cheating allowed though.\'Cheating\' means that only balanced mods are allowed and no .cfg editing. MechJeb is allowed.World airspeed record (The entire flight has to take place within the thick part of the atmosphere.)Holder: FendletonStatistic: 952 m/s (Level flight.

The entire flight must take place within the atmosphere, and you may launch your glider in any way you want. The distance is the distance from the GEOGRAPHICAL point where you were released to the point where you land. How you choose to measure this is up to you.)Of course, you can add other records, as this is not even close to covering everything.Also please supply the game version you are using for your attempt, and screenshots. Screenshots are vital. If it is suitable, a screenshot of the Flight Results too please.To apply, please use the application form:Record title:Record Statistic:Game version when record achieved:Screenshots:Mods used: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascensiam Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 You may need to define cheating. How far does that reach? Editing files? Mechjeb? All mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminallyVulgar Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 When you say 'Fastest time to Mun/Minmus,' do you mean fastest realtime or fastest mission time? I\'m guessing mission time, but there are threads for both w.r.t the Mun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim_Barrett Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 You are going to have to moderate the airspeed record since the density varies in a crazy matter getting up that high in the atmosphere. Make it fastest speed at a legitimate altitude, such as 1km. Not 10km... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenator1 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 You need to put a cap on that airspeed.I also think you should specifically state 'no cfg editing' as well as stating a specific set of mods that it would work with. Personally I would suggest saying that only vanilla, carts, and mechjeb should be allowed.Possibly also requiring people to attach the .cart file for record verification would be smart as well.

Tim_Barrett Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Well, I\'d say that doesn\'t really matter; as long as it uses air-breathing engines.It\'s still too inconsistent - simply try flying the same plane at different altitudes and you will find a difference.

Make it fastest speed at a legitimate altitude, such as 1km. Not 10km...It should be up to the pilot to find the right balance between altitude and engine efficiency to get maximum speed.It\'s like saying Chuck Yeager\'s Mach 1 flight is \'illegitimate\' because it was flown at 45,000 ft and not at 5,000 ft.

Infact, I\'ll add two records: Upper atmosphere airspeed record\' and \'lower atmosphere airspeed record\'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoyle Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 What\'s to keep the airspeed record being set in re-entry? Does the entire flight have to take place within atmosphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooblet68 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 May I include longest distance traveled by glider?Of course.Glider distance wouldn\'t be possible to measure without any possible cheaty. The gliding glitches (magic turbine) make it very unbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gliding glitches (magic turbine) make it very unbalanced.I believe that he wouldn\'t accept magic turbines for the glider challenge. Simply craft that take off using SRBs or LFEs or airbreathers, then eject them and glide away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
