  1. That is the most impressive thing Ive seen in this game.
  2. How is that possible? You shed excess weight earlier in the flight, is that not the mechanism that increases delta v with the asparagus method?
  3. Imagine that each circle in the diagram represents a stack of liquid fuel tanks with a standard Liquid Engine at the bottom (Perhaps use a vectored thrust center engine for better control). The outer stacks are attached to the central stack by radial decouplers (not shown) and the yellow arrows are fuel lines. The No Crossfeeding example is a basic setup. The six outer engines burn as S2, and then are dropped. The inner engine then ignites on a full rocket, and starts burning. The Crossfeeding example runs fuel lines from the bottom tank of the outer ring to the bottom tank of the inner engine. All seven engines start burning on launch, and the inner engine is getting all its fuel from the outer tanks. This setup provides higher thrust off the pad than the No Crossfeeding example, but delta-V works out to be the same. However, because the atmosphere is thickest at the surface of Kerbin, it can provide better overall performance by getting out of the lower atmosphere quicker. Asparagus Stalk Booster Staging is a subset of Crossfeeding , where again, all seven engines ignite on launch. However, instead of dropping the outer ring all at once, fuel lines and staging are set up so that all the fuel drains from the S4 tanks, and those are dropped, followed by fuel draining from the S3 tanks, and dropping them, followed by draining from the S2 tanks and dropping them, and finally burning the S1 fuel. Asparagus Staging combines the high thrust on launch advantage with an efficient mode of dumping empty tanks while keeping the rocket balanced. It provides a somewhat significant boost in delta-V over regular crossfeeding. Three-tank-high Asparagus Staging is what I use in my standard stock Munlanders, and for a variety of other pursposes. It is a bit of overkill for a Munlander, to be honest; I often find myself chucking mostly-full boosters at the Mun to get them out of the way of the lander. Standard crossfeed does increase delta v because it sheds the outer tanks slightly earlier than no crossfeeding.
  4. Wow Im super excited the Ariane 5 Is my favorite active rocket.
  5. The map view makes this game rediculously easy you just burn until you Apoapsis is where you want it to be with no planning required. I dont understand how anyone could struggle with how simple this is.
  6. Wow that looks exactly like the mig 29. Great plane thanks
  7. Great station I love that it is a single part so it is more simple to use.
  8. Wow that is a really great video and I like the music choice.
  9. Wow this pack is amazing. ive been wanting someone to make a falcon 9 and you absolutely killed it! The whole thing is amazing thanks man!
  10. Wow this is awesome thank you. Once we get other planets and stuff I want to submarine around on europa and search for extraterrestrial life.
  11. I got the angara pack and the fuel tanks work but it says that the engines dont work with my version of ksp... any help?
  12. sucessful first mission of the Freyja rocket
  13. Here is the Freyja I rocket Its two stage to orbit, and carrys a custom lunar lander payload. second stage with lander exposed And The Freyja Heavy for deep space exploration
  14. Its a glitch in the new update. Open the texture files up in paint and re save them and it fixes it. You cant keep big engines on full throttle or they will over heat, bring it down to 80%
  15. This is a really amazing pack guys thanks for making it
