    Thanks for my 3000th rep!

    Yes, the very good reason is that most real world planes are Cessna 172's :-P

    If the game supports it, my suggestion for the lower level runways would be to play with the wheel grip and friction behaviour. All runways are flat. Maybe L1 and L2 have the odd pothole or two, but generally flat. The level 1 runway gives high resistance when you're rolling. On the other hand when you brake the wheels are likely to skid. It's made of gravel after all! On the other hand it still ought to give better grip than the grass. The level 3 runway lets wheels spin easily when rolling and get loads of grip when braking. L2 somewhere between. The lower level runways can also be shorter, of course.

    A Fond Farewell

    cantab commented on Ted's article in Developer Articles

    Another one flees the ship. Probably just as well for Ted with the looming icebergs emblazoned "PS4" and "XBox One". KSP might sail smoothly between them. Might.

    More generally, I'd like to see any general improvements made in the console version to appear in all versions. I will be disappointed if the work by Flying Tiger turns out to be a one-way street, and we're left with all versions of KSP 'missing something'. Oh and Wii U version is due this winter.

      Wow, I was out of the loop.

      Yeah, it hasn't been super long, but they did a recruiting round that brought in about a half dozen of us at once.

    Re the spying thread, what I would have commented if it wasn't locked:

    The dialogue is confusing. It looks like "radio buttons" where you pick one or other option, but it's actually two separate checkboxes. One option to send or not send your IP address, and a second to send or not send the tracking data.

    I normally do first option ticked because it's a "Don't send", second option unticked because it's a "Send" option.

      Yes, it is a confusing dialog. It should clearly have an option to sent nothing or a separate button for that.

    Thank you for your insights. It's a shame a simple clear scientific question - if one where the answer isn't so simple or clear - ended up derailed. But such can be the way of forums.

    Seriously? You move my post and I don't get ANY notification on this forum of where it has been moved to or even THAT it is moved. It doesn't show in the "Threads I Posted In" Activity Stream because that thing remains HOPELESS. The only way I found it was by searching for a phrase I knew I'd said in that post.

    I don't know who it's supposed to be convenient for, because it sure as heck isn't me.

    Re rep comment, that's not surprising - the Noviplano was my inspiration!

    What are the legs for on that ship of yours? Just looks?

    Thanks :)

    The rover was built for Duna, and should be able to make orbit from there. Because of how I'd built it I launched a pair, so decided to send the spare one to Eve.
