Hi, and thanks for that beautiful mod. I played in the past SSRSS, without any issues. I restarted a game with Kerbalism & SSRSS. and now SOI of Earth is weird. Limit is around half way between Moon and Earth. Is there something to tweak? Gamedata cleared, problem solved ! Thanks

Completely useless but fun to design!

Another journey in space:

I use that one: Values to be divided by 2.5

Thank you for that really nice mod!

RCS at sea level is not very powerful, and shall be placed as far as possible of COG. Reaction wheel shall be placed as close as possible of CoG.

First thing is to adjust in your VAB thrust vs CoG. If any, set the thrust of your horizontals engines, to 0. you will only see the vertical engines thrust. Adjust precisely vectors. This is quite difficult with perspective and the tuning shall be sharp to avoid tilting. Two or more engines is better for stability, and panther are really good with its thrust vectoring. Do not forget reaction wheels, it helps a lot at low speed. You can add, a probe or a docking port to point top, if you use mechjeb, you can stabilize your ship pointing top. (It's a little bit tricky to switch back) Take off is a thing, but landing with a random CoG is another thing! http://imgur.com/gallery/879DL

What's the difference with that one?

My entry: I optimized my vessel from my previous mission. 60.210 tons just before launch Version 1.1.2.

Thank you guys,

Actually don't know, I play since 1 year and physics change 3 times... I will try it. Edit: True on 1.0.5. I cannot even take off on 1.1.2. have to re-design that...

12x Whiplash and 2x Vector That's works but it's a really pain to fly and to land such plane, I prefer my reusable engine for cost reduction http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/105145-stock-payload-fraction-challenge-105-edition/&page=26

Hi guys, I present you my mission to EVE, Here below the summary: - Launch all vessels in KLO, except interplanetary vessel (launched for previous missions) - Refuel all vessels in KLO - Transfer to EVE - Rescuing Kerbonaut in ELO - Rescuing Kebonaut landed on Gilly - Conduct some gravity scan on Gilly - Creation of geosynchronous communication satellite - Land materials on EVE - Rover - Science and accomodation outpost - Ascent Vehicule - Proceed to exploration of 3 Biomes - Back to interplanetary ship - Back to Kerbin - Transform science to gold!

Hi Kerbaunauts, Here my entry: This entry is not a record breaker, but more to share with you an concept that I used to transfert crews, landers and satellites to space station or interplanetary vessel. This is a mix between American space shuttle and Airbus Adeline. I guess category of that is unlimited, because I used Rapier in AirBreathing mode. Launch Pad: 351.638T Orbit: 46.5 T Payload Fraction = 13.22% Credit / Ton = 1180 This is improvable since the heat shield of engine, is a esthetic/realistic thing, and Mk3 cokpit is here to transfert crew, which is not counted here.

I did some maths for the intakes, don't know if correct but my last tests seems ok. I used formulas: R = 8,3144621 J·K-1·mol-1 M = 0,028965338 kg·mol-1 P and T as per graphic I have the density of air in kg/m3 Then, depending of how many kg/s I need (depending on engines) I can calculate how many intakes I should install. Intake area in m² Velocity in m/s Available air flow (kg/s) = Air density * Intake area * Velocity (in intake), I guess this value is top with the maximum of part (10kg/s for shock cone) Do not have the numbers there, but the result is for 12x Whiplash, I need 2x pre-coolers, and 3x Shock cone at 25km - 800 m/s. Now the tests with pictures: I tried to minimise the drag as possible, without tail fin but aerobrakes, but these ones burned during re entry. 300T on runway can deliver in LKO 14400 unit of liquid fuel + oxydiser No clipping - Stock parts 1.0.5.

Hi Kerbonauts, My four heroes just landed after round trip to Duna. Here the first pictures of mission. (So far, engineers didn't find out to send pictures throught communotron) Thanks

Ok, solved with: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/78863 I fight during the whole day with a bug... At the end, I know how to do precise docking! Thanks sal_vager and Claw

I tested to go away and back... Log file full of: "NullreferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Kerbal version 148470 Win64

Hi Kerbonauts, I'm try to assemble a Space Station but it seems that dock doesn't work propely, or maybe I missed something, very probable, it's the second docking I do. Pictures there: Any idea? I clicked control from here on the dedicated dock, I tried even closer that these pictures but no success... Thanks
