I stop you and smash the cookie to its simplist components, I then scoop them up and throw it up and the wind spreads the dust throughout the world. The cookie is TRUELY free.

The thread is slipping again! Better keep it alive! A spoopy vampire! And to make sure you're not too spooked, here's Caral (yes) the clown and two certain skeletons.

Granted. You are stuck to your chair which is stuck to the floor and for some reason your browser can't open or close any other pages. You are incapable of going to the bathroom and die from urine poisoning. I wish the Space Shuttles were never retired.

I drew this when I was bored in Science class. And this one in Math. I think you can see which class I care for more.

One does not put pupils on a Countryball! Unless that's a little mistake, then umm... Cary on!

Reading these makes me feel like the youngest member of the forums...probably because I am...

I've watched the actual Polar Express many times, it's just these videos sparked my interest that little bit more. You never actually see the other wheels in reverse, but considering the motions the train makes, its kinda implied. (Also the engineer is constantly throwing the reverser back and forth so...) The weird thing is, in the movie we almost always see the right side of the locomotive...(or left from viewing it from the front) You can see the wheel marks in videos and the movie, but they're not that deep... Actually, I already have a locomotive on the Mun. Yet to send some traincars though.

Instead of putting my research and planning of the AAP or KAP from both my free time and at school (its only the computers, I should try and look for some books) to good use I decided this week I would make a Space Shuttle... After like a day I got it, reliably, to space...suborbital... *Sigh*

I was watching a REALLY OLD KSP video with a big rocket exploding. As usual. Then I saw the glorious smoke plumes (or what ever they are) spewing out of the explosion effectively doubling the explosion. Now i am old enough to remember the old explosions (and sfx), (pre 1.0? IDK, all I knew is that is was 0.23) which was quite a step down from what I am seeing before me. So what if we could bring back those fuel plumes? (Again, I don't know what they are) now I imagine that it might affect FPS so maybe it could be toggleable? A picture. (not mines)

KSP is praised for its highly realistic orbital mechanics, not its graphics. I mean even if they did upgrade, its not like KSP has grass, dust storms, stock clouds, super high poly and definition rocks and trees...I mean most of the game is in space. What would you need that needs graphical improvements in space?

Well, I did read somewhere that some locomotives had a control that could vary thrust on each cylinder, different from the other, to help get around curves.

*GASP* I DIDNT THINK SUCH A THING WAS POSSIBLE! (Hey you told me to go to page 3! )

Dat nose tho. I'm not saying it's bad, it makes it look cooler!

Ok I love the Polar Express. So after watching these: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l_3Nhbn1Mx8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=COdoHpU_a8U 999999999 times, and because I have quite some knowledge in locomotives I wanted to express my thoughts. In the movie all the engineer seems to be doing is constantly pulling and and pushing the regulator, throttle, and the brake (idk if it's the independent or train, probably independent though considering the way the train moves). The locomotive though appears to be doing much more. First of all, SOMEHOW, the wheels appear to be able to operate in one direction, while the other side goes in the opposite direction! (Again based on my observations) Besides this, if the ice doesn't break under the weight, and if the couplers don't snap (and if the bogeys co-operate) then this seems actually possible! Though I guess it's entirely possible that the 2-8-4 has some sort of custom made extra reverser lever, with a lock mechanism. ... Thoughts?

You get hit by my train and I take the cookie which happens to land inbetween the wheels. My cookie.

Each car has a little Probodyne Octo2, for basic control i case couplers don't line up, I'll try disabling the SAS on them. No SAS modules on each car besides the one in the probe core. Oh and they're coupled with the smallest docking ports in-game. Well technically they are on the "bogey". Just bogies that don't spin, more like a chassis... As with the permanently connected cars... I don't think I can do that as they're too hard to launch on rockets. . I'll get video up later. Just imagine a train wagging its tail until it comes off.

Ok, so I make trains in KSP. Don't ask. Ok, quick train vocabulary lesson so you understand: A locomotive is what pulls a train, a train car is what carries the loads and is what is pulled by locomotives. The thing is the Kraken loves to mess with them. One of my trains are constantly vibrating, even though it has never before (in this update!)... (pic of train) The situation is even worse for this train, which wiggles very violently until the third car disintegrates, which limits this SUPPOSED to be high power train to only two cars! (Also it leaves the second car in that position...) I've done testing with far more cars than these numbers before but now they refuse to work! I based all the rest of the train cars on the ones shown here, and they've given me LESS problems! Though I may have to check them to see if they have this problem now... Theres also a problem thats been here before this one, which is when I leave a train car alone (though sometimes it carries from one to many), it constantly wiggles left and right, until I bring in a locomotive to tame it... Then theres the fact that these issues are so ANNOYINGLY INCONSISTENT! Just now I was testing the same train (from the top) with one more car. I then un-couple the last car which is only a SLIGHT variation on the rest, and back come the problems! @Overland?

I preform airborne docking and take the cookie and fly away at hypersonic speeds. My cookie.

Ok... So while taking pictures of a Wellington, the pilot over estimated the plane's abilities and crashed... I recovered Verrina but the plane was still there. So I thought I would recover this craft. Legitimately. I used a Spaceship Two modified with a Klaw, and flew over to the site. As you can see, there is a Crashed Kessna to the side, which VALENTINA was supposed to use to inspect the site... Grabbed! I taxied over to the beach and took off. Landing! Mission Accomplished! Now to get the other plane...

Umm, you could of... scooted to the side before landing..?

Just added the British Bombers! What planes should I make next?

Um...yeah. That. I used to use it all the time, in testing, flying, specifically VTOLing, as losing power to just on of the lifting engines is deadly. And now that I use Planes and SSTOs fly to super high altitude, that information would of been really useful.

I used to us the old Mk3 Parts ALL the time. But...now they are gone... Even with KHI, all the Old Mk3 part packs are gone..

One does not simply add K to the beginning of every word.
