Cuky

First thing I looked were Kabylake Pentium CPUs, but I haven't found any in stores here. Only i3, i5 and i7 CPUs from Kabylake line are available. I have suggested a 120GB SSD to them but they told me that they would think about that.

I need a second opinion guys. My friend recently asked me if I could build a new PC for her father to replace his 10-ish years old he is still using now for a budget of about 200€ (1500-1600kn here in Croatia). He is using his PC for web browsing, occasionaly watches videos on youtube, writes documents in MS Word and her younger sister plays some online games. I browsed online shops here in Croatia and the best I could find for that amount of money was this (prices rounded up to a higher value just because of ever changing rates): CPU: Intel Pentium G3260 3,3GHz - 67€ MBO: Asus H81M-R - 42€ RAM: 4GB DDR3 Kingston Valueram 1600MHz - 32€ PSU: Antec VP400PC EC 400W - 40€ Case: LC Power 2009MB - 22€ They opted to re-use HDD and optical drive from their current PC as they were bought new recently. Is there maybe a better CPU to consider that I may have overlooked? I never really look at those lover end components because I use my PC for gaming, so I found myself a bit lost here. Also about power supply, I am aware that 400W is way too much for system like this one, but I just couldn't find a good 300W PSU that is not way overpriced compared to this one.

That isn't F1 concept, it was Honda's aero kit in 2015 for IndyCar teams that were supplied by them It was simplified for later stages of 2015 due to those little winglets on front wing falling off evene when there was no contact with other car or the wall. In 2016 it was simplified even more http://img.theepochtimes.com/n3/eet-content/uploads/2016/03/15/7810-StPete16-Race-5Hinchcliffe.jpg

I have rebuilt my STS and Buran -like shuttles using new Shuttle Payload Technologies parts which are now going through lots of testing. I am having some problems with stability on ascent (STS) and re-entry (Buran) but I hope to iron those out. Here is a "beauty-shot" from one of re-entry tests

@Pak & @FlyMeToTheMinmus Thanks for your answers. I didn't know that airlock was placed further back for Mir missions.

@Pak Is there some mistake with where attachment node is on the airlock? When I choose extended version it extends into the cockpit instead of cargo bay

He explained it in his original post, but seems that he didn't quote the text he wrote above those two screens, so here it is:

I had 1st successful atmospheric flight of new shuttle built with new parts from latest Cormorant Aeronology pack. Just a short flight with takeoff assisted by hacking gravity and enabling infinite fuel and then gliding it back home without cheats.

I'll check if it does the same thing in my install if I play KSP today. I launched cargo capsule on Gigan rocket few times just a 3-4 days ago and that one worked well.

in my current save my program is called "Default" as I created it in sandbox to test mods and get in grips with some of those that I haven't used for long time before I start a new save in career

@kBob I bought new HDD because I needed more space and because that one is that old. At the present I use it as a temporary storage for when I need space on my main drive and can't back data up on removable storage at the moment. Thanks for the link, I'll read up on it when I catch some time

I got interested into space flight in late 90s (I was about 8 years old) when The Cape was shown on TV here in Croatia. In early 2000s I got hooked up to Star Trek because my father liked to watch it and the rest is, as they say, a history. I realized that it is not all just in fiction when Mir was de-orbited, while I realized how dangerous space flight really is when Columbia accident happened. As for the physics part, it started to interest me more when I was near the end with my high school and when I finally started to understand more complex things through physics classes.

@SelectHalfling0 I have 230GB (although it says 250 on the sticker) Western Digital which is now in its 8th year of every day usage (approximately 10-14 hours per day) and still works almost as good as new. I got this Seagate about a year ago because I needed more space and for now I didn't have problems with it. I had one 500GB WD few years ago which was about a year old when I went on the vacation for a week and when I came back home it didn't work anymore. PC was turned off for the whole week and as always when I am away disconnected from network and power outlets. @Elthy Thanks for your answer. I was leaning more towards i5 but I just wasn't sure which one is better suited for myself. When I am gaming I mostly play simulators, like KSP, FSX, Farming Simulator, ETS2, ATs, rFactor and when I can afford to renew subscription iRacing. As for cooler, I did plan to OC the CPU a bit, but nothing extreme really. AIO cooler was more because of looks than anything else and that is why I left it as a possibility for later. That is, if I have some spare cash. MBO is actually pretty easy for me: I had 2 computers until now and both were running with Asus boards and I had no problems at all with them. I can't remember which one was in my 1st PC, and I am still using P5B in my current machine. If you have good Asus board that you can recommend to me that is cheaper then those I have listed I will gladly listen Thanks for the PSU nod, I should look for something cheaper then.

Currently I am saving for a new PC so that my current one can finally get its deserved rest (or be given to my sister for her college work). I have pretty much decided on everything except CPU and motherboard so I wanted to ask you guys for your opinion so that I can decide a bit easier. So, those are my plans: CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K or Intel Core i7 6700K CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4 (and later I may upgrade to AIO liquid cooler) MBO: Asus Z170-E or Asus P8Z77-V LX or Asus Maximus VIII Formula RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2133 SSD: Samsung 850 Evo-Series 250GB HDD: Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB (I already use this one together with a 250GB one) GPU: I'll probably go for recently presented AMD Radeon RX 480 when it is released later this year Case: Cooler Master MasterCase 5 Pro PSU: Corsair HX750i 750W 80+ Platinum

She's coming home

I (almost) nailed the landing. Just ran out of fuel about 80-100 meters above the ground and landed too fast for legs to hold the engines clear of the ground

does that mean that they are targeting lift off at around 2AM UTC+2 ?

thanks for new update. Though there seems to be problem with newly uploaded files on SpaceDock. For lots of mods that are in "Recently updated" category when I try to download I get message like this If I try to download version 0.8.5 of your mod from changelog tab on Space Dock it works just fine EDIT: Seems that it has been sorted now

I like the new look. Hope it works as well as it looks when I try it out later

I voted Interstellar Quest as it was that series that brought me into KSP when I accidentally stumbled upon it (I think it was episode 3 or 4). Only one that I didn't enjoy as much as others was Reusable Space Program. I can't really say why as I don't know, but others just felt a bit more fun to watch.

@Pak Could you please consider adding small amount of LFO to the lifting body/rear end of the shuttle so that it can be used to power fuel cells without a need to sacrifice a bit of cargo area for an extra tank?

It works now, I have successfully deployed a satellite on a test mission using this Canadarm. It was also quite fittingly the first time that I managed to land back on the runway with shuttle that was launched into orbit.

@Jeast Yes that was it. While ascending some when I was near 70km mark camera started shifting backwards, but it stayed level with the end of the engines. When I separated external tank it then went further behind. I will try new version and report if I still have the problem
