  1. I believe they have some control over the mixture just not to the degree some piston engines do. Most piston engines, well modern ones, no longer have much of a mixture control anymore either. It is handled by one of the on board computers, that adapts and follows a set of fuel mix settings based on throttle position, air speed, and air pressure (altitude).
  2. The thing is this turbine is not creating enough power to override the power created by the prop. It is no different then the helicopter turbine that drives the main rotor on many modern helicopters. Same for the turbine in the M1 Abrams tank, it also is there to create power, a large amount of power in a small amount of mass. Neither the Abrams or the Blackhawk use their turbines to generate thrust to propel the vehicle.
  3. Turboprop engines are prop engines, not piston engines or jets. They would be closer to the classic piston engine just smoother in operation and function, just instead of having pistons driving the prop you have a turbine.
  4. They have those things because the customer base they sell to expect those things. I work in the automotive industry and if a car does not have a common feature, like A/C, power outlets/Lighters, CD player with AM/FM radios, people will complain about it and not purchase that vehicle. They will spend a few hundred more for those options that they consider standard now. It isn't because someone somewhere said the car manufacturers have to have those things in their cars. 40 years ago seat belts were a luxury option and safety glass windscreens. Those things became mandated by the government. SQUAD is not a government, they are the manufacturer. They are producing a product, that product is highly modifiable, much like a JK Jeep Wrangler, or a EG6 Honda Civic. Once the customer has purchased their product, they no longer have control over what that customer does with it as long as they don't try and rebrand it and sell it as their own. So right now the company SQUAD can say at anytime, we no longer support mods to our product, and shut that section of the forums down. That is their right as the copyright holder. But what they cannot do is stop people from modifing the game code on their own and continue to play the game however they want, as long as no one is making a profit on these mods it is completely legal. This is the same with cars. You can take a Jeep Wrangler, throw a 4 inch lift on it, some 35 inch BFG tires, and a massive winch on the front, and Chrysler can't say a thing to you. But if you take that vehicle and try and sell it as your own work and as a new car, Chrysler can stop you.
  5. How so? The designer of FAR has introduced a air breathing engine nerf of 50%. He designed KIDS which nerfs rocket engines to bring them in line with reality without changing the scale of the planet. And ultimately I don't think he released FAR, for a more realistic gameplay on the stock sized Kerbin, which is about one third the size of the real world.
  6. The simple answer is, no. I have not. But to fix the delta-V requirements KIDS is the way to go, outside of the RSS mod. The other thing is adding deadly reentry, this will make flying at those speeds dangerous in lower atmosphere.
  7. Rapiers are not overpowered. They are the same as before. They just actually cost something now.
  8. You can if you place them individually.
