Apologies see edited post above

Yeah I'm using the PID tuner that is with Pilot Assistance, If I have it set up right is another thing... edit: Also latest FAR. It happens randomly at various altitudes seemingly, the other thing that happens is the plane will just lose control and spiral into the ocean without hope of recovery. That also happens at any altitude, just now it happened at 26000m and 800+ m sec... Like a flatspin, but I wasn't trying to manoeuvre at all, it just *went* and no way I could regain control. I've even tried with an xbox 360 controller to see if analogue controls help, but I get the same thing. I'm not a pilot, but I've flown quite a lot of flight sims, and never came across these kinds of issues before. I really hope it's not just me! Edit: Some progress, seemingly after removing FAR, deleting the FAR folder from my gamedata folder, then reinstalling, the strange loss of control thing has stopped, so I think that was just a dodgy install. However, I'm not convinced the G-force readings I'm getting are right. They seem pretty extreme. Example, in the Kerbotrainer. Straight after takeoff, I dropped the throttle to about halfway, climbed to 2500m and then SLOWLY rolled and turned to 270 degrees, got to the mountains, SLOWLY turned around to 90 degrees, turned throttle off to coast in to land. I'm doing about 300m/s at this point so I slowly roll and try to wash some speed off. I barely have to touch the stick and I'm G-ing in the red. so I'm doing everything super slow and gentle. I roll slightly too far, overcorrect a fraction and the wings have left the building. Fireballs and mayhem. It doesn't seem right at all.

Thanks for that.. I really just want to try to get a spaceplane into orbit, for station refuelling. I have been playing with the Kerbotrainer a bit, trying a few challenges... I seem to have some trouble keeping the wings on. so much so that I've started wondering if my FAR install is borked, because sometimes they come off even on the slightest manoeuvre at low speeds i.e around 150m/s.. I think I'm being pretty soft on the controls... I don't know. I'm still feeling it out. Have you ever heard of that being an issue with a bad install? I

Yeah I should have elaborated.. That's exactly what I wanted to know about, was stability and compatibility issues. Thanks!

Hey Wanderfound. I hope you're feeling better! I love all your designs man! Awesome stuff. I think I've been reading through this thread for about 2.5 hours now, and I got to page 30 Just out of curiosity, what would be your suggestion for a relatively easy to learn spaceplane that carries a decent LFO payload, and a bit of cargo? I'd like to start there. I'm playing .90 with FAR... If you could suggest a link with a how-to for the action groups and a craft file, I will keep you updated on my progress (with screenies of my explodey good times) Thanks man! Excellent work.

I don't like to say it, but... There's a mod for that.

I need to know, what do people reckon is a better mod for procedural wings? pWings by NathanKell, or B9 Aerospace procedural parts by Bac9... This isn't a competition, or anything, I just want to know what people think before I install.

All the things that *are* have double letter in the word, the things that *aren't* don't have double letters.

Correct! Now you.

Silly Pony! Starwhip

Nothing obscure. All the information you need is included in the riddle.

Building a Karbonite mine on Mun, and an orbital refueller at Minmus, waiting for a transfer window to... anywhere... Probably Jool>Laythe

I'll take that lead There's a land where there's mummies and daddies but no babies. Books but no libraries. Mirrors but no reflections. Kittens but no cats. Cattle but no cows. Lollipops but no candy and trees but no forests. It's the land of what?

Banned for being lazy, while engaging in a fundamentally lazy pursuit.

I'm surprised they chose UNITY in the first place... Does anyone here know how that came about? It seems there are other more suitable engines for a game such as this. The amount of programming that must have been required to get this project operating on that platform! A custom engine may have been less work? Considering the UNITY platform seems to be the cause of the greatest amount of grief concerning KSP, regarding performance especially. I'm definitely not disappointed with SQUAD, I love this game and I have nothing except exploding thumbs-ups for them. I do think they shot themselves in the foot slightly with UNITY.

Someone who goes to Eeloo to be dramatic.

Nice one... My wings would tear off if I tried that turn at full thrust.

You mention CKAN in the OP... Is this available on CKAN? I'm not seeing it there. Or did you mean that the util.dll is part of CKAN? I'm really liking this, it bugs me how everything explodes the same.

I noticed that... KSP has better graphics than their visual representation!

Damn I just missed the launch.. was it good?

I want to try this out.. what's the ® designation on the craft file?

Ok ok... We can do Llamas and Alpacas... I'm drawing the line at Camels though. They don't play well with others.

Nah, nope... Humans are stupid. No hate, but we're doomed to idiocracy.

It's a Binary star, with two extrasolar planets orbiting the Binary... Upsilon Andromedae Other than the Binaries, you can pretty much make up what uA c&d look like, as only their location and est. mass are known.
