    Steam wont open, it just wont, so now I can't open any of my steam games, even if I have them on my desktop :(

    Go inside your Steam folder, then (I'm going from memory, don't quote me on this) go into SteamApps, then common (I think?) and all your Steam games should be there. :)

    Noooooooo. Gamma engines are pump-fed. Just because they are monoprop pump-fed doesn't make them simple. Pressure-fed all the way for us.

    Oh right, yeah. I meant a pressure-fed version, but loosely based on the Gamma engine since it uses the same propellant.

    Here's an idea to solve the issue of HTP being shot directly out of the nozzle, without coming into contact with the napalm first:

    (sorry that it's sideways)

    So the main thing here is the HTP deflector. As it's name suggests, it would deflect the HTP onto the napalm, so there would be little to no HTP leaving the nozzle without coming into contact with the napalm first. Theoretically, of course. The deflector would be attached to the fuselage by a series of struts, and would be made by a light material that is resistant against HTP. Conceivably, it could be made out of the same material as the HTP tank. 

     

    EDIT: Also, if we decide to go with/talk about an HTP+kerosene liquid propellant rocket, I highly recommend we base it on the Gamma engines, for obvious reasons.

    If we're on the topic of interesting but non-funny things, I was in a car crash on the 24th. My parents are in the hospital and will be there for a while. The car is no more, but fortunately I am okay. Hopefully everything will turn out alright.

    Your parents will recover, right? And I'm glad to hear that you're ok.

    @Azimech Awesome! I remember using your boost flap design for one of my KSP Dakar challenge vehicles (before I pulled out due to a corrupted save file) with the Juno engines, but I couldn't get it to work with Panthers. I have a few questions about it:

    1. To make it work with Panthers, would you just need to angle the flaps more, or use bigger flaps so they reach all the way to the middle?

    2. How would boost flaps affect the thrust vectoring of the Panther, and how would the thrust vectoring on the Panther affect the boost flap?

    3. Does this extend to even more jet engines?

    A similar imgur album or video on this would be greatly appreciated, and would be put into use immediately on my fighter jet designs.

    Many thanks again! :)
