I have a funny little bug to report that may be already known. It appears that FAR doesn't properly update the craft's CoL in the SPH with regard to its orientation. The plane nevertheless flies fine; it's just a building issue. In specific, it seems that instead of recalculating the CoL, it simply rotates/transforms the CoL about some pre-determined reference point, which is problematic for rotations when your plane is not on that axis. Grr. Unfortunately it appears I don't have images to show for this because my computer crashed hard while I was writing this post the first time.

First thing I did in my new career save was blow up the VAB and Launchpad with Whack-a-Kerbal. It's hard, re-creating the Wrong Brothers in 0.25 career mode, with FAR installed. I don't feel bad about keeping reverts on to fix screwy launches.

Just chiming in to point out that I, too, am having exactly the reported problem with chutes. And they aren't burning up; they're just getting cut. Unfortunately nothing shows in the debug log nor the output log.

Just to add more data to the situation, since I'm also (unsurprisingly) caught: it looks like the parts that are attached to nodes that already exist load fine; I can get the magnetometer, for example, but not the warp drive.

Confirmed that this does appear to work for KSP 0.25, with and without FAR (though without all you get is the Alt readout, of course)

Any news on whether this works with KSP25 yet? If not, I'll boot 'er up an' give'r a try.

In the meantime, you can start KSP by directly using the executable. It should be in your KSP directory, wherever that is. (By default it installs to C:\\Kerbal Space Program on Windows boxes, sans Steam.)

Step 1 is going to be nuke the launchpad and VAB. Until I get funds to rebuild them, I'll be using planes only.

Wait. The website is down with a 503, does that mean the update is up?!* *Yes, I know this is silly. It's the HypeTrain, not the let's-behave-realistically-train.

....... answer: the 1960s called, DARPA wants its technology back.

Why do you prefer that cockpit to the Mk 1? Don't they both fit into a cargo bay?

They'd pass through each other, because they're both on rails.

That Kerbal badly needs a helmet.

The Red Dwarf answer ... wait, answer? Sorry, we're too busy getting drunk.

Are you sure you need more wing? I've found that most of the times when I thought that, the answer actually was that I needed more thrust. Spaceplanes tend to have tiny wings for their payloads compared to other planes.

Looking for fidelity and continuity in Armageddon is like looking for a unicorn in a swamp. All you're going to accomplish is to become disappointed and covered in filth.

Not to mention the fact that it doesn't just take 5 hours to get to the real Moon.

...just rotate the regular cargo bays? Is there some reason that won't work?

Props if someone resurrects the Rods from God mod to do this.

I'm looking forward to getting to see a copy of the Brutus. It looks like one beast of a plane.

Just to throw a wrench in the works a bit: If we're talking about the most efficient method (in this simple one-body gravity system we have) then suicide burns are also the best method because you further maximize the gravity turn effect. And to address the earlier discussion, yes, a 45 degree line is a better tangent approximation to a landing ellipse, which is why it conserves fuel over 2 perpendicular burns. But you know what's an even better approximation? An ellipse. Any landing burn, suicide or otherwise, is going to use much less dV if you point it retrograde at all times.

Wanderfound, thanks a ton for the stuff you wrote up about aerodynamic analysis and building. A lot of it I knew or sort-of-knew already, but much of it was very helpful. I've already detected several changes I'd like to try in my designs and my design process. Funnily enough, I disagree with you about the flaps. I find it very helpful to make my nose canards act as flaps, and then for final approach I put them on setting 1 or 2 to naturally flare the plane for landing. Using them at the same time as properly balanced spoilers can even raise the nose without causing you to gain altitude. (I'm aware this is exactly not conventional aeronautical wisdom.)

I wonder what would happen if you tweakscaled a clampotron sr? You could also put a KAS magnet on the back end. Don't know if that'd work or not, though.

wasmic has the right of it; total acceleration due to a constant force (in this case gravity) is a function of time. Therefore, the longer you spend falling into a gravity well, the more dV (that is, acceleration) you need to counteract it. Take Earth's gravity at sea level for a very simple example. If I spend 1 second subjected to 10m/s^2 of acceleration, I need 10m/s dV to counteract its effects. If I spend 2 seconds subjected to 10m/s^2 acceleration, I need 20m/s dV to counteract its effects. When you burn too early, you slow yourself downn, meaning you spend more time subjected to the force without the countervailing force of the body's surface. ETA: It has nothing to do with TWR or the delta mass of your ship at all.
