  1. While in a park, there was some form of animal pelvis put on one of the marker pole. No Idea why its there.
  2. Dogfighting, and making a really derpy replica. So ugly, so terrible to fly.
  3. Try checking the gear settings. AFAIK though, nothing major has changed in regards to planes and stuff...
  4. Oh, oops. Actually its fine that I scored higher than i thought. Thanks for double checking.
  5. A day late, but here nonetheless. Sorry about that. February 1982: Northrop Tacit Blue Tacit Blue was a technology demonstrator aircraft to show tat a stealthy surveillance craft with sensors could operate near the front lines without dying. Essentially, it is what Have Blue was to fighter-bombers as it is to surveillance craft. It one component in a larger program dealing with better targeting, reconnaissance and munitions technologies. Tacit Blue also helped validate a number of new stealth developments. Nickanmed 'The Whale', it had two turbofan engines with a flush intake on top, and was controlled by a fly-by-wire system to improve stability. After 135 flights over about 3 years, it was retired to the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Technology developed on Tacit Blue is being used nowadays in the E-8 Joint STARS aircraft Download: https://kerbalx.com/qzgy/Tacit-Blue Tommorow's craft: @Servo's F-16XL
  6. My entry. Its real ugly but it works. 1033/1/12.9 = 80.07
  7. no, its 1.3. Although I am still running 1.2.2
  8. Wait, so even a clean copy of kerbalism won't work? Strange. Kinda sucks that it borked.
  9. That's actually pretty accurate to the real 918.
  10. Currently working on tsto entry. Boostback is hard...
  11. Yup! Check the kerbalx page to see directions.
  12. Sorry, a bit late. December 1979: NASA Ames-Dryden 1 The AD-1 was a test program run by NASA to test the merits and effectiveness of an oblique wing design. This means the relative to the body, the wing is at a tilted angle and could, in theory, move back and forth. Robert Jones, an engineer promoted the concept for use on a transport aircraft. Wind tunnel tests showed that compared to a normal aircraft, an oblique design could have much better efficiency. The concept, while not new, being proposed in 1942, was tested on the AD-1 It was designed as a cheap testbed, built by Ames Industrial Co. according to NASA specifications from both Boeing and the Rutan aircraft company. The low cost however, limited what the aircraft could actually accomplish and the complexity of it. Powered by 2 small turbojet engines, it could achieve a maximum speed of 200 mph, though was usually limited to 170 mph. The wheels, which were fixed, were located close to the fuselage to decrease drag. The actual mechanism for the wing was electrically driven through a gear system to change angle, with a sweep up to 60 degrees. Testing was done incrementally, as is always safe to do. While flights were done in 1979, the first flight to do a full wing sweep was in mid-1981. Testing continued until 1982, before the program was shut down. Jones considered after the flight research that an oblique wing would stll be a viable lifting option for a transport.While working, this airframe had kinda nasty handling at pitches above 45 degrees. It did complete the technical objectives, but did not fully verify the concept on a more suited airframe and at higher transonic speeds. After retirement, it was put on display at the Hiller Aviation Museum in California. Download: https://kerbalx.com/qzgy/AD-1 Tommorow's aircraft: My Tacit Blue
  13. wut? It is bigger than 5m length. Also, may I direct you to this? Actual thing, and inspiration for mine. If I'm not the fastest, than at least I'll look good doing so.
  14. IDK. Closer? Spoiler for reasons. Don't recommend opening on mobile. Clicky.

    This video...

    Its beautiful.... It can make any man, woman, or kerbal weep. *sheds tear of joy* Mostly kerbals though.
  17. Also started in Elcano challenge save. This is going to go well. Shameless plug:
  18. So.... I've possibly set myself a super stupid task. Do a full circumnavigation of kerbin (minus a ferrry ride, or something with pontoons, or full submersible, I haven't decided yet.) in a train. Specifically, this Mallard replica. It's very nice, but isn't super suited to rough terrain, long journeys, and that kind of stuff. But what the heck! Let's give it a shot. I'll do this in small segments, so each day is corresponding to what I did in a session of driving, and how far I've driven (about) Day 1-33 km And the Mallard sets off. Probably the first of many, as explosions are inevitable. I forgot to plant a flag, but its to the runway, so.... yeah. Initial handling at around 30 m/s is pretty good, so I'm going to sick to that as a top speed, although it could go significantly faster. It was at this point I forgot that I didn't have an engineer on board. Oops. Better go send one then. I know that many wheels will probably break on this journey, so having one is quite important. Yeah, I took a sports car to transfer an engineer. Its also single seat, so that car is staying there. I might return t it the long way round. Hey, well now I have an engineer aboard. Floating trees! KSP is "realistic". Kinda hope this gets fixed, although its not much of a concern. Whoops! Went to fast and rolled it. Not to worry, a crapton of SAS wheels (or magical-infinte-energy-pointing-devices) helped right it. Also may have broken a couple parts. Nothing important though.I'm making the route up as I go along. I'm heading north though, for this first leg. I followed the flattest part of the land before deciding to take amountain pass. Which was stupid, since it was rather hilly. I also caught air! Which broke some wheels. Some train images. And I'm calling it here. It took about half an hour to drive 30 km. This is going to take a while. On the plus side, the wheels are fixed. Map of rough progress.
  19. Really beautiful. Now It would be nice to see the spinny thing at the front spin
  20. Another good C programming place - Cygwin.
  21. Played around with cars mainly. Also released the thing on the left.
  22. I made a thing for the light jet category. https://kerbalx.com/qzgy/Kamborghini-Tifone
  23. Hey, so if anyone (val) is looking for a new sports car, can i interest them in one of these? The one on the left is a pure no nonsense speed machine. Also hard to control. The one on the right is super stable, and has a very good pilot survivability rate due to the enclosed cockpit.
