Spoot Knight Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 It also depends on the delay it takes between keypresses to trigger the parking brake. I highly doubt one mashes 'B' as if they were playing Tekken or Street Fighter.If you do, then definitely follow what Ted is saying and build for stability.

AlexL Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 So what do we know for certain about the voices, if anything, all I've seen from the dev's is HarversteR mentioning a settings for them in the x5 changelog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFE Inertia Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I wonder what the Nuclear-Thermal engine will look like, what it will do, and what it will run on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoup Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Except, you know, this...About the voice-overs, we almost got them ready, but they actually sounded pretty weird without a proper audio ambience base for the game's scenes. We're going to add those soon, and the voices should follow. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest themakut Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'd hate to be a tester. I'd rather play the polished version when it's ready. That being said, I'm still highly impatient for the polished version to come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekku Zakku Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is a very bad thing. A large percentage of the planes I've flown will break up if you just hold down the "B" button. Instead, they require you to continuously tap the "B" button until the plane becomes slow enough to apply the full breaks. Now it will be impossible to stop such planes.I would think that, like you would use a real parking break, it wouldn't trigger by mashing B unless you're not moving.

Trebuchet-Launch Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Now that I know we have a stock NTR, I'm deep into planning my Duna and Eve missions. I'm currently testing a direct-throw Duna ascent vehicle; given that Duna presumably is Mars-like and has lower gravity along with a thin atmosphere, any vehicle capable of lifting off from Kerbin's surface and achieving orbit should have enough delta-v to take off from Duna, enter orbit, and make a minimum-energy transfer back to Kerbin. Eve, with its more powerful gravity and thicker atmosphere, is going to require more creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD-Edge Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 From what it says and from what has been said in the past, it seems that a voice volume control setting has been added, but no actual voices in this update.I think most people have the wrong idea about the voices. There might very well be voices added in for the tutorial kerbals, which will be speaking backwards spanish (I think), so Im going to guess that its not going to be a system where the Kerbals actually talk or anything, rather just make their kerbal-ish noises. Who knows though, Harv mentioned that it was both a voice and music volume control setting, feels unlikely that there would be music coming in this update. But why implement the volume controls, if theres no use for them yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Heh, in the changelog it's not mentioned that we actually disabled them for now because they're not done. As for music, I believe all it controls is the credits music.Edit: Here, have a present Edited September 17, 2012 by NovaSilisko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what-the Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Slightly elliptical orbits. Jool appears to be at around 70b km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdDoThat Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This means that Eve's surface gravity is about 9.9 m/s, Moho's is 2.9, Duna's is 5.5, and Jool's is 286.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it will be impossible to stop such planes.It's possible you just need to practice landing so you can hit the runway at a lower speed. Or design aircraft with lower stall speeds. Or both.Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalkingofgames Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) They had that, but because this forum is filled with whiny 12 year olds, they stopped doing it because they got mad at the devs for letting them play a game in ALPHA (How could they be so horrible to give them early access to the game?) So now we have experimental being tested by those on the private testing team.hey im a "whiny twelve year old" and i understand about it being an alpha,dont stereo type say sorry Edited September 17, 2012 by royalkingofgames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
