  1. Its really hard to build, so I decided to keep it small. I put an engine in the back so that it can fly. The real one has the engines in the little tanks on the wings, but the engines are too big and upscaling it would make it weirder. Its strangely stable and when you pitch down aggressively, it will stall, but it recovers surprisingly quickly. Here you go, its not one if my best creations: Download: http://www./download/zaha1og42r3d924/Me-262+Messerschnitt.craft
  2. *twitch* OCD... urg..... must ...... Gah. It's skateboard not a skate.
  3. Lol guys. Jeez, so many rants. Take it to the space lounge subforum( its a pun, as if i were to say take this fight outside) When that happens, press p on the non colored part and then color that and then both sides will be colored. It does get annoying that you have to do both sides, but its worth imo.
  4. From the top of my head, it definitely helps to place intakes induvidually (no symetry), and put a some torque on it (put 1 or 2 asas modules on the sstos) to counteract flame out and throttle decrease. I haven't checked your crafts out, but I'm assuming you're using the SP+ parts, so just add some drone cores if you care about looks. I would know about this, i make sstos that reach orbital speeds in the upper atmosphere.
  5. Thanks a lot. Really means something coming from someone like you. But there is a little funny thing that happens when i build these SSTOs. Everytime i do something, it looks like on of your crafts. You invented the wheel, but i reeinvent the wheel everyday. But i try to keep my crafts unique
  6. Sure. I don't care about using my stuff.
  7. There was a link on the kerbpaint thread flying around with a download link to space plane us parts, so here I found it: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/50008-0-23-KerbPaint-Paint-layering-for-parts-%28September-23rd%29-%28Same-Old-Still-Works%21%29/page37 It gives you the ability to color any SP+ parts.
  8. Really like your scythe series, but you could get a little more dV by removing the heavy nose (I know its one of the branded scythe symbols, but you were mentioning squeezing the last bit of dV out of it, but you didn't squeeze hard enough)
  9. Someone asked me to make an 15-Eagle, so here you go. It is one of my most maneuverable crafts ever! It has comparable performance to my revised Ataraxia . Its really really acrobatic, very emphasized. Aside from that, it looks a bit like the F-15, but you should be the judge of that: Test the maneuverability yourself: http://download1325./99e5c0ddvpqg/7dhkcdf73a4gy2c/F-15+Eagle.craft
  10. I've made some cargo ssto's, but by now I've only built a 2 ton payload to duna. I don't know about this craft. I can probably throw one together by tomorrow. Also, I like your thinking.
  11. One of my better cars. I call it the Stratos 7, but I'm still pretty uncertain about its name. Anyways, it's pretty cool in many aspects. Since its hull is partially made out of wings, it can really get some air and distance, and its wheels don't seem to break (I have a very light suspension going on). It uses a trick which gives it stability while driving and speed. It can drive far over 22 m/s, in fact, as fast until you break your wheels. It should turn stable up to 30 m/s, after that, its your own fault if you're not careful. Here's a gif thingy I found out about: Here's it doing a jump with a ramp I threw together: Its stable and pretty cool looking if you ask me. Check it out for yourself: http://download1592./5gi9i17x0neg/9t2hsv73dzj24dz/Stratus+7.craft
  12. My 2 ton payload Duna SSTO It can bring 2 tons of payload to duna and flyback. All Overfloater style My F-18 Hornet replica That blue is ugly, but you can see a none colored one: And Also a 36 ton payload SSTO (36 tons = 1 orange tank)
  13. A Planes Guide to Space! Welcome to any poor soul who has dared to click on my thread. You will vigorously be injected with knowledge beyond your liking, this will hurt. But seriously now. This thread will be my way of showing other people how to build SSTO space planes. "But shouldn't this be in the tutorial section?" you might ask. No (if you're a mod who doesn't approve, move it to the tutorial section. It won't result in the apocalypse, I hope). Instead of telling you what to do, I will do it and show you how it can be used. Simply said, I will make many crafts describing the basics of SSTO making. With each one, you will learn more about something. Chapter 1 - Planes in space you say? ft. Drittle - a little non air hogging SSTO To start off this series, I will give you one if the simple-iest SSTO crafts I have made. The "Drittle" is very new player friendly and is very easy to use. Though very inefficient, you can just take off and point this craft at 45 degrees and fly up until the jet engine burns out. By then you have an apoapsis of greater than 70 km and you still have enough dV to circularize. I suggest building up as much speed in the atmosphere as possible, so just fly up to 10 km with your jet and point at 25 degrees until you flame out. After that, point up 45 degrees and activate your rocket engines until your apoapsis is above 75 km. After that you can cruise up to apoapsis and circularize or do whatever, you still have a lot of dV. Don't worry about stability or anything other than your fuel. It has batteries and no part clipping was used. Everything on the craft can be spotted from the outside and no tricks are done here. Just a simple and easy SSTO for getting your beginner into Space. This craft has a single jet engine and is therefor very light. It is easily carried through space with its 2 little rockomax motors, which are very very good for small crafts. They have a very high TWR and therefor can increase your dV more than ISP can. The Drittle has enough lift and control surfaces to be stable and easily controlled. It has two RAM intakes and one circular, all feeding one engine for a light craft. The lesson learned with this craft: - Keep SSTOs light - You can build good looking SSTOs, but before that, you have to learn to make normal SSTOs. Keep part count, weight, and wings to a lower number for basic SSTOs Download Please give me feedback about this. Do you like the idea or intention? Can I improve something? Did I do something wrong? Tell me. FYI, this will end up teaching people to airhog, as that makes SSTOs easy. Also if you don't know if I'm good at making SSTOs: Mun SSTO Many of my newest SSTOs Vtol capable of landing on Minimus
  14. Looks pretty cool I've made one too, but I don't really like it (I recommend kerbpaint. It lets you color stock parts without adding parts. You can make cooler crafts then, better than this one)
  15. MiG-29 Replica! Someone told me to make any MiG jet, so I made the one that came up first when I googled it, so. Here it is: Its stable, maneuverable, and easy to fly. All parts are stock, only visual mods were used. It has around 70 parts and looks fairly acurate. Here's a video of it flying if you want to see it in action: Download
  16. Added new Duna Cargo SSTO. I'm probably going to make a new one that can bring more reliably, soon.
  17. I intend to do similar, but unless I get a computer that is worth the title of a computer (its a 2008 macbook pro, its existence is sad), I won't make heavy cargo SSTOs because the part count will make ksp an ugly slideshow. I will make (and am working on) light cargo SSTOs, and I'll see how much further I will take this.
  18. It says: "File Blocked for Violation. The file you requested has been blocked for a violation of our Terms of Service. Still have questions, or think we've made a mistake? Please contact support for further assistance." Do you have some changed settings?
  19. My new "Arenov" Its capable of landing on Duna with 11 crew and come back. I don't have any pictures about duna, but a simple mun mission should suffice. They have similar dV requirements.
  20. Banned for spelling chicken wrong in your username.
  21. Thats what my research suggests. Mine is a 2008 so I won't be updating any time soon
