Blast from the Modding Past

[MinerEdgar]

Who remembers when C7 aerospace was mod, and not part of the stock parts?

Trying to launch plane VERTICALLY off the pad?

Anyone else have great memorys of those times?

[is this in the right place? If not have a mod move it.]

Yes... I fondly remeber my first attempts with C7... back when the roleplay was around. I was obsessed with a vertical takeoff interceptor for a base defence fighter, but this was all i got.

The RX-4(L), for landing configuration, sported a tricycle pattern landing pad system that allowed it to execute a newly disovered maneuver for airplanes, landing. However, since the C7 engines at the time had about the same ISP as rocket engines, and so was incredibly short ranged. Still flew though, but had a tendency to enter completely unrecoverable stalls in hard maneuvers of any kind.

Also had 2 Jellycubes railguns that couldn't aim for the love of boosters due to the flailing flight pattern the RX takes up once off SAS

We're glad you polished the aerodynamics for the vanilla planes, Chad.

P.S. However did you convince Bill, Jeb, and Bob to sit in a one seat cockpit altogether in the earlier days?

When C7 became official ?

[Gojira]

I remember, yeah. It was so much fun! I made a ship that was single stage to Munar orbit and back, I'll see if I can find it.

Old C7 pictures eh?

How about a vidya!

Or an ultralight:

Or a bigger ultralight:

Or discovering infiniglide:

Vertically launching helicopters was always weird.

Oh yes, I remember!

Launching "airplanes" vertically was fun and felt deliciously hacky.

I really enjoyed designing these mutant half planes-half rockets because they gave KSP some kind of "Man in space" retro feeling to the game.

At this time, I was switching from Orbiter and this was just the kind of refreshing experiences that I was looking for in KSP...

I remember seeing his pack on a site with lots of mods, thinking ''Not for me''. Now the thing I do the most is planes.

A plane I built back in .13 with C7. It flew pretty well. Landed not so well.

How do embed an album?

Indeed.

Fun times.

[Dombi]

Amazing stuff. I wouldn't be able to do half of these even with current game features!

[gameassassin1020]

I don't have proof. But I was here when ksp free and ksp demo were the same thing

[MinerEdgar]

Me too, I came here right after the Mun was added.

Wow! It's amazing how far this game has come already.
