    I wish I had more time...

    in KSP1 Discussion

    Posted

    I'm looking back on this forum on all the stuff I did a few years ago.

    Now I'm back, being a newbie once again and not having so much time to stick into the game.

    I used to play KSP daily for 8-10 hours straight...

    Now I have a lot off other stuff to do and I just don't have the time to do what I want to do: Long adventures on Kerbin...  -_-

     

     

    This may sound strange, #car/design/race challenge.

    Is this the page you were posting about?

    So we build anything from this base part?

    ill take a crack at it 

    You don't even have to use that, I just want a perfect 2 seater rally car that we can build to perfect with other gearheads.

    It is all about innovation.

    In short: we build a  non modded racecar together, race it against each other (with RACES! mod) And keep trying to improve it.

    Ok, This may sound crazy but I want to work with some gearheads on building the perfect stock (unmodded) racecar.

    We are going to design the perfect rally car and then we are going to race THAT rally car against each other.

    How we do this ?

    We wil share our base design and all work on improving it.

    First step will be the base.

    I will start with sharing a simple base and we will use it to improve it.

    Everything is possible, everything about this base can be changed just as long as you improve it.

    We will use this thread to share our ideas and try to make the best car we can make, discussions will be hot but we will all have the same goal: build the perfect car for a rally.

    So I need gearheads, let me know if you are interested.

    Don't start with building a complete car, we best start with ballance and the engine.

     

    Are you up for this ?

    Why do cars/rovers flip so easily even when you are only steering ?

    Generally, you'd want to set more of your mass forward to improve stability, same reason as for aircraft except you're dealing with friction instead of drag. It's the reason most consumer vehicles have their engine mounted up front. The part about friction in the rear is spot on though.

     

    Thank you, setting the mass more forward really helps.

    This is still just a testcar, but thanks to the forward mass it's allmost impossible to flip it.

    I still have to slow down for jumps, cause it's nose heavy now...OTcoVvj.png

    It has been more then 4 years ego, but I dit it.

    Build a rover that is able to drive on the sea floor?

    I've heard about this before, I might even have tried it before...

    Can it be done without mods ?

    I need to test this, thanks, it's a very good idea.

    Triop's going to need more W's than anyone else. :D (There's a mod for holding the W key)

    I use a toothpick to hold the 'W' key down... :joy:
