Aye, that's what I was using for streaming as well, captured the video with replay buffer. It's really great for those "oh man i wish i had recorded that!" moments, cause you can just press a button and you DID record it. I have mine set to 3 minutes, but you can go as far out as you want provided you have the RAM for it. 3 minutes takes up ~80Mb of RAM. You can also use it to just straight up record ofc.

The only real problem I'm having currently is the heating introduced in 1.0.3 Anything over ~3.45Ma melts everything I fly at such a low level. :S Klesh that plane looks v nice

I've been pretty busy doing some other stuff, but I will try to come back and get that 1:30 at some point :0

Some very lovely command pods with quite excellent IVA's popped up on CKAN this morning (But have existed for awhile, I guess), so at the very least there are SOME people out there doing it. > http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/125114-1-0-2-Super-100-Shooting-Star-Super-67-Little-Star-Command-Pods I haven't used this mod and I'm not sure if I will but it all looks very nice. I also enjoyed your circumnavigation stories, they were quite good.

You seem to know, how many times? Even if it's already been done people are having fun with it so why not?

I could definitely be flying better, but idk if I can shave 22s with 1.0.3+ heating, since rads do nothing in atmo afaik. The fastest I've been able to get with my current design is Mach 3.65, and that was only temporary, as I got to 2389K... Thanks! and sorry for continually landing the complete wrong way EDIT: Yeah rads DO do something in atmo btw. AND, they DO keep your craft cooler (wow). But it's not because they're radiating anything, it's because they add drag and make you slow af so your craft can't even go fast enough to heat up. (nice.) I don't think it's possible (for me) to go much (if any) faster. I could fly better and maybe get in the high 1:40's realm, but that 1.0.3 heating isn't gonna let me go any faster than Mach 3.7-ish. (with my craft at least)

It would be quite nice to be able to reset them if you pop them early, without the use of SafeChute. I've done it more times than I can count myself... They changed it to 290m/s in 1.0.3.

I know it hasn't been long, but I wish to update my entry, Xannari made me want to try harder. Time Completed: 1:52 Touched ground at 1:52 and some change, slapped F3 at 1:53. Plane is still quite happily sitting here on the runway, if you were wondering if it fell over. This time, we leave the Kerbals at home (Avetho never stated we couldn't). Flying an aerodynamically stable jet engine is dangerous, after all. I didn't land the right way again, but I landed vertically this time. **START AT 0:43, MY REPLAY BUFFER IS 3 MINUTES. SORRY. :C** EDIT: I put the .craft file in my 100% stock Kerbal install just to make sure the few things I have (that add things to .craft files, namely tweakscale [but unused here], flight engineer, and collision fx) would be compatible with true stock. It is, and flies exactly the same (as it should). You can also just delete the extra modules. Here it is: http://puu.sh/iK1wU.craft If anyone wants it for reasons. (Click link, Ctrl+S [or Right Click + Save As]: <whatevernameyouwant>.craft [Make sure you delete the .txt at the end first], file type ALL [or it will save it as a .txt anyway]) Oh, and hotrockets was breaking my turbojet, it does give effects correctly in stock.

Looks like we both had nearly the same idea, nice job!

I just completed this on stream in 2:12, but i'm not sure if i managed to save the recording or not... I decided to make an account just to post about this tbh. EDIT 1: Got one at 2:16, though my landing wasn't quite as good cause I hit it early.. Stream doesn't appear to be saving videos correctly, so i'll just record it like a normal person I guess. EDIT 2: Got 2:12 Successfully recorded. Craft name: TurboJetTest Mk.2 (Not creative, I was testing designs and got excited with this one working and forgot to rename it, ahaha.) You may notice it's a similar design to Aphobius's design, I didn't use that for design influence at all, it just sorta turned out that way. Probably because it's hard to improve it much further than that for this challenge. However I could have used ~50 less units of fuel (~150 Total), and probably could have flown much better. Wheels? We don't need those. Hopefully this still counts as landing in the same direction I took off from, since it is. Technically. Ignore my talking, I did this on stream. c: Mods Installed, but none that are illegal to use for this challenge. Craft Specs: Moderation note: video includes a bit of swearing. Do not click on it if that sort of thing offends you. Max temp turns out to be 2389K (Did I cut that close enough?) EDIT 3: Apparently the videos I did first (from the same stream, but that I had trouble with before) ARE saving now, it's just taking a very long time for them to post. They're at my channel (linked above under edit 2), under the videos tab if you want to watch my design process and failures. At one point I DID have RCS on the craft, but they're not on the Mk.2 (The one i recorded and entered)
