Interplanetary Engineer

Thank you!

I remember finding MatoroIgnika's Twitch streams quite enjoyable a few years ago, especially the space station building series. But now, I can find almost no trace of him or his channel on the internet - does anyone know what happened to him? Is all of the old content just gone? Is he still active somewhere?

Sorry if I was too vague. I have now hopefully found a solution for the first problem: the part.thermalConductionFlux seems to be what I need. My other question was: could a custom module on a part manipulate e.g. the thrust settings of that part?

Help?

Hello everyone, I'm currently working at my first mod, and have not found any information on this: How would I go about finding the current heat flow through a part? Also, am I able to change the parameters of other modules of the part on the fly? Many thanks in advance

Making and flying a good VTOL plane. After the heli pads on the VAB and the Administration Building were almost destroyed, I gave up.

Coolkerb.

Does anyone know how and where to find the configuration file for the Extend-o-matic Series A1 Deployable Flag? I need to look some stats up, thank you in advance!

Aaah ... the suspense! So many suspicious characters doing so many weired things and so many possibilities for something to go horribly wrong! Keep up the amazing storytelling!

Well, you beat me there. I worked on a very similar concept a while ago, but I just aimed too high with the payload fraction. Good job as always though, keep up the great work!

I think (or hope, at least) that humans will probably visit Mars within this decade (or my liftime, if I'm lucky), but probably not within the next twenty years. I mean, we have the tecnology and all, but we've got a heck of a lot of planning and engineering to do before it might just become bankable for such a buisness as SpaceX. About the whole colonisation of planets will save humankind thing: I don't really think so. Until we manage to terraform Mars it enough to live there without a spacesuit (if that's even possible), humans will probably have gone extinct. I think our best bet would be Titan. You can already survive there now with a heated swimming suit, and being able to fly with wings strapped to your arms just tops it all.

While a clever row of gravity assits around Jupiter's (almost wrote "Jools") moons should slow you down very much from interplanetary speeds, but you would most probably need at least some manner of breaking by rocket propulsion. No need for a soft landing though when you have a sturdy enough probe, and a bullet-shaped one could also reduce the G's faced greatly.

That is a serious case of awesomeness. You made the best replica of all time and space there. Have a well-earned replike while I'm busy being stunned!

Here, forum, have some moar nice lookin' pics of almost flawless crafts: A medium cargo SSTO, with a pretty decent handling and wing layout, if I may say so myself! The Nurflügler V-12! One more Juno and more yaw control for stability and I will take this around kerbin!

I just love this thread! Anyways, here's a sneak peek of an adorable little thing I'm currently working on:

It'd be really nice if our economy system was based on the coolness of an idea, in wich case we'd already be flying around in SKYLONs all the time. Sadly, that isn't how it works in reality, and so spaceflight will probably just be dominated by some partially-reusable or overall chapskate rockets.

How do I do that exactly?

Sorry, didn't realize the thread was from June, I just saw 2015... As for the saves, I found them in the appdata of another user or kinda mine, I just was a bit stupid

Ahh, this helped! Thank you!

Whoops English is not my native language, what should I rather use..?

Minecraft mostly, I'm really into redstone.

I don't know if this has been issued in one of the last 92 pages of posts, but when I launch the .exe, it brings up this "Error!" window: Unhandled exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access tp the path "C:/Program Files (x86)/Kerbal Space Program/CKAN" was denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path, Object dirSecurityObj, Boolean checkHost) at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectoryHelper(String path, Boolean checkHost) at CKAN.KSP.Init() at CKAN.KSP..ctor(String directory, IUser user) at CKAN.KSPManager.LoadInstancesFromRegistry() at CKAN.Main..ctor(String[] cmdlineArgs, GUIUser User, Boolean showConsole) at CKAN.GUI.Main_(String[] args, Boolean showConsole) at CKAN.CmdLine.MainClass.Gui(GuiOptions options, String[] args) at CKAN.CmdLine.MainClass.Main(String[] args) (or almost like this, I had to translate some words back to english) Sorry if this was caused by my total incompetence at installing things, but do you have any ideas how to fix this?
