Help? I can't land my plane :(
James Kerman replied to DracoSilverpath's topic in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange
So I'm out of ideas, mate. Maybe one of the space plane masters can help? -

Use a Cubic Octagonal Strut to space them out but attach the strut to the fuselage - it will look ugly and cause more drag but this is just a test. -

Looking at your design more closely I see the landing gear is attached to the wings. This may be causing the wings to flex on landing creating the bounce. Try attaching the landing gear to the fuselage and see how that goes, mate. -

ok so with some research I found this thread: Is your landing gear clipped in any way? -

Stiffening the springs may be the culprit. Another simple test would be to revert them to default and place the landing gear on your engine nacelles - a wider wheelbase may mitigate the take-off instability. -

The bouncing around sounds like the wheel bug to me - particularly if you are flaring hard before landing. As a test you could enlarge the main wings (increasing lift and drag) and see if that helps you land. Be sure to check your center of mass and center of lift in the VAB first. -

There are some problems with landing gear, wheels and landing legs at the moment. Are you having problems on touchdown? -
I support both sides of the argument for these reasons - Beginners with no understanding of orbital mechanics (as I used to be) have a steep enough learning curve without having their crew die of starvation on their first flight to Duna. Most veterans are using house rules to make the game more difficult and life support can help this. If it could be implemented as a Game Mode (sandbox, science, career, hardcore mode) I think most people would be happy and not conflicted by turning off such a feature in any other game mode.

Bob Kerman is my coolest part - what's yours?
James Kerman replied to James Kerman's topic in KSP1 Discussion
I think Kerbals have antifreeze for blood - it's why they're green. -
Probably because he's driving on a ball of mint ice-cream.

I believe @cupcake is the VTOL master. https://www.youtube.com/user/CupcakesLanders http://boardreader.com/thread/Cupcakes_Dropship_Dealership_6ievmxXl5s.html Try looking there for some inspiration, mate. Also the asymmetrical flameout issue is more than likely related to the intakes and how KSP "sees" them related to the engines. If you have Kerbal Engineer Redux you can monitor air in while flying - you may not have enough intakes or one engine may be hogging them.

I cant live without; Scansat - great for mapping biomes and marking landing sites Kerbal Engineer redux - I consider this essential for TWR and DV figures in the VAB Kerbal Aircraft Expansion - Cool parts for flying in atmosphere

Do I get bonus points for drinking beer and eating pork while I exercise? Please update the OP.

"Debunker" says Falcon 9 does not go into space.
James Kerman replied to Scotius's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Ok, I admit to watching it and I am going to build that falcon 9 model in sandbox tonight, lol. Grandad once told me "If someone tries to convince you the sky is red, just smile and nod - they will run out of breath eventually."
