Thanks for info Evanitis. Those are 0.9 planes, yeah. The '10 air intakes per engine' thing is for getting the plane to 30k meters with a 1500m/s speed on air breathing stage, so the craft can get orbital with only ~850 delta-V of closed cycle burn (which is just slightly less than it can achieve without wasting the payload fuel.).

I haven't updated to 1.0 yet because I'm afraid those spaceplane designs wont be able to orbit by themselves anymore. Could someone test them and confirm for me?

Meant for exploring Laythe, can get into orbit all by itself (around Laythe, not Kerbin) and dock with a return craft. Needs to be strapped to a rocket to get there first though.

My personal favorite craft. A light, single engine plane that can do long range trips and can keep on soaring even at ridiculously low speeds. It is also very sturdy, stable and pleasing to maneuver. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3soSlW5noXxOVFfZHB2cV8zT2M/edit?usp=sharing http://www.filedropper.com/planariasearchplane

It worked. Thanks!

I made a model for a engine part in Blender and successfully exported it to KSP through Unity, but when i tested it ingame i got no propulsion or engine fx whatsoever even through throttle is on max, engine sounds are running and fuel is being burn. Then I took a stock engine model file from the game and tested the cfg file with it and it worked just fine. What did I do wrong?
