Race around the world !!!


Recommended Posts

I finally got the time to try this as well: 305,360m 292,291m, all stock. And a safe parachute landing in the eastern ocean, close to the next land mass.

edit: I\'m really sorry, looking at my screenshot again I think I took the wrong value, total distance instead of ground distance...

No problem, you are still first ;)

i have a question,is it okay if I have more than one stage with boosters in the booster challenge

I am thinking about having a different booster challange or change the one now so you can use mods and stages, thoughts?

Are we allowed to use parts other then SRBs.. ie decouplers, SAS ect in the SRB version?

*EDIT*

Is this only limited to one SRB? I don\'t see that in the instructions.

Very nice SasquatchM! That little blimp seems quite efficient! :)

I just completed my latest attempt using this monster:

Distance of 2,343,739 m, using C7 basic, hardpoints, experimental and beta gear, Damned Aerospace and MechJeb.

Unfortunately my plane suffered an unintentional wing excursion during flight, so I had to set her down. :P

Impressive sir! I have tinkered withe the pusher props to make them solar powered, but coupled with the blimp I think that would be cheating as distance is only really limited by patience at that point. It is a bit more interesting with solar powered engines on planes though as you have to be careful to not be over water when you lose daylight.

I tried using solid rocket boosters, and with a 5-stage, stock rocket reached 18,662m. Not sure what the upper limit will be...

The only limit is the imagination ;-)

I present to you this small 4 stage (solid booster only) rocket, reached 30,944m on the 5th try:

(the screenshot of the rocket was before the first flight, I messed up the staging of the last booster)

Hey, why let SRB flyers get away with killing the crew? With a chute it\'s totally possible to save the crew, besides it adds another element of skill (how long to wait till deploying it?)

Anyhow, my 5-stage SRB ship from before is doing better now, 35,908m

I working now on a really big aircraft.

My goal is to go around whole Kerbin.

The aircraft will be based on C7 Parts.

Soon I tell the new status of the aircraft.

Here my first update:

My plan is to make 5 aircrafts, every time it must go a little farther.

It will be the aircrafts:

[succes] LDAD I

[in test] LDAD II

[ ] LDAD III

[ ] LDAD IV

[ ] LDAD V (the aircraft that will across whole Kerbin)

This update will be soon resfreshed with some pictures and those things.

See you guys soon! ;)

Here my second update:

For the newest aircraft that I wil made is the LDAD III.

It will be the LDAD II with some big fixes like the ductape on the moter that\'s stop the propilushon of a moter and those things.

The LDAD II had maked more than 1.000.000m. With the LDAD III I thinking it will travel 25% farther.

The aircrafts that will made at the end the world across aircraft:

[succes] LDAD I

[succes] LDAD II

[in development] LDAD III

[ ] LDAD IV

[ ] LDAD V (the aircraft that will across whole Kerbin)

The picture is the LDAD II.

Well, with my new biplane design I managed to truck out 560697 meters on two fuel tanks. Lost the engine upon landing (She\'s tough to land, you have to go slow enough to just be able to pull up, push the tail wheel against the ground without gaining altitude.)
