oh... right click for the decoupler option?

I can't find the decoupler, I guess it isn't there ?

Weird, I've loaded this craft from my old career file, what was I thinking ????

Let's hope some stuff will burn up in the atmosphere or something . . .

We are getting close . . .Extended the landing gear, hope it will help braking . . .

Try to land on dry ground... the landing legs will help if they don't burn off!

Nope, we are doomed..................................

Indeed there was no decoupler . . .

I reverted the game, so I lost the flag . . . I might have to go back, in style . . .

Lol, I expected you would come out of the car with a baseball bat.

I hope the Ford is OK . . .

 

I has a new favorite, the GL II :

This car is 100% perfectly tuned, top speed 60 m/s, it can do fast high jumps, steer at high speed and most imported: It doesn't flip over.

I'm re-opening the Dakar, I'm using the racing! mod for timing.

I've set up stage 1 and I'm about to testdrive it with the GL II.

Vroooooommmmmmmmmmmtbc

I’m the jolly guy who smiles and says it’s ok it’s just a car. The ford has only a small scratch. One hell of a hard time to find a rental car they say they have them and call back ten min saying nope sorry no car. Crazy crazy crazy!

 

congrats on the perfect tune on your car! I’d love to give it a spin! Did you use an edited wheel

Yes, the mod is SMWheels.

I can upload a unpainted version of it if you like.

 

"Now where is that Duna thingy everybody keeps talking about ? "

Today I'm planning on doing some more space stuff, playing with cars is fun, but I'm kinda running out of original ideas.

As most of you know, I'm not a space guy. I can land on Mun and Minmus, but I never went further into space.

Also I can't randevous in space, or dock.

I have no clue of what I'm doing, but I made a rocket just to see how close I can get to Duna.

It takes off, that's good.

Decouplers work, that's good.

We are slowing down, that's not good.

I guess we need a new engine . . .

Looks like we are on our way to Duna, it only takes 203 more days to get there.

I hope we can make it back, some how . . .

[Triop]

I was planning on doing a fly by and head home, but seeing the planet and Ike, (that I totally forgot about) I need to get closer.

I never thought I would make it this far, I never went beyond Minmus before . . .

No way back, I'm landing on Duna . . .

Burning up the last fuel to brake.

We are going to fast . . .

Wow, my first encounter with Duna, I might go back.

[Triop]

Made a new rocket, went to take a look at the sun.

I'm starting to get used to this.

@NBDesigns Seeing your car inspired me to create: The Spider :

Because of the struts the wheels can be placed wherever I like.

 

[Triop]

Well, what's this then ?

Yes! It’s a wonderful thing 

how fast is that lower one? 

I bet without the Ibeams I used it could be quite fast
