  1. Ignition looked like an explosion Also, thats fast
  2. That was some cool seperation and landing footage!
  3. Do we need GPS? Could be handy to have it around, but i dont think its necsessary. Speed can be obtained by using an accelerometer (and appropiate programming to track acceleration starting at liftoff), attitude by using a gyroscope, heading by using a magnetometer (digital compass) and altitude by measuring ambient pressure/temperature. Probably more expensive (both time and money) than GPS, but lets us get around all the limitations and problems imposed by using a system like GPS.
  4. I dont think RPi is a good idea. Its a fairly complex machine (compared to a “simple“ microcontroller) and would introduce lots of potential failure points. For critical systems it would be better to go for Arduino or some other microcontroller. As simple and robust as you can get...
  5. http://www.ulalaunch.com/ula-signs-contract-with-sierra-nevada-crs2.aspx There are currently 2 planned missions, one in 2020, another in 2021. The Atlas V configuration chosen is the Atlas V 552 (5 SRBs, 5.4m fairing, 2-engine upper stage), which until today never flew in that configuration.
  6. On orbit maneuvering and LES. Probably also for revisiting the concept later. The problem are not the engines, or landing, they are the landing legs...
  7. You could put them in paralell. Which is probably what @sevenperforce meant. Like, poke a lot of holes into a tank and put a valve into each hole. And you don´t need that many valves. 6 would give you the ability to throttle in steps of ~1.5%...
  8. Depends on your keyboard layout. For me its "^". But you can always look it up in the settings.
  9. Its not "Backspace" anymore (since 1.2 i believe). It was changed and is now the key above "Tab".
  10. I was kind of surprised when the droneship appeared from the fog Weather didnt look to good, but they did it
  11. It really is just a dirty workaround, and i hope it is not here to stay
  12. I´m actually more concerned about the DRM-freeness of KSP. I always do seperate installs for mods, and i suppose i´m not the only one...
  13. I really hope this works out well. For SQUAD and the community. But it sounds promising for future development...
  14. Yes. Several times, but this seems to be the oldest (and probably the only one on the main tracker) http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/1456 And i agree that its a issue. The current implementation just makes accurate burns very hard to do....
  15. Yeah, waypoint names are random. I think i´ve got 'Schiaparelli's Impact' on Kerbin once
  16. Really cool to see stage seperation like that!
  17. Scrubbed for today. New window tomorrow same time Edit: Ninja´d :D. But the issue wasn´t the second stage, so thats probably good
  18. Try reloading (F5/F9). Helped when i had the problem...
  19. In context of KSP probably Parts Action Window - the right click menu on parts.
  20. I still enjoyed the videos. Claiming something as stock if it isnt (at least not that easily possible in stock) is probably not very fair, but a lot of effort and editing went into these videos to make them look good. Which might be the goal in this case
  21. Had that happen to me a few times in the past. What you can do is to activate the "Unbreakable joints" cheat from the cheat menu and disable it again a few seconds after it loaded in.
  22. The mission builder (and probably the parts) sound like the only "new" thing, as in requiring some dedicated development ressources . The parts sound like an excuse for not doing the rocket parts overhaul, and the parachute thing is just a big WTH. But the mission builder sounds nice. Let´s see if its worth it....
