TheKosanianMethod

I'm on the Highway To The DangerMan! Or... Dman747-8.

My great grandfather worked as an engineer on PBY Catalinas in WW2. One day, he went to a physic. She said, "Don't leave them." A few weeks later, his Catalina went down. He remembered the physic. He stayed on the plane with two others. The guys who jumped were never found. All the guys who stayed made it. This is the same guy who got to North Africa pretty early on, and the Americans didn't have barracks set up yet. With his tent mate, he set up a whiskey still (kinda like MASH). When the barracks were built, he stayed in the tent so he could have his still. He was drunk alot. One of my dad's great uncles was almost captured by the Nazis, but they stole a Lend-Lease Jeep from the Soviets (which just happened to have a Browning on it), rode it down the front, to Italy (while feeding Germans .50 BMG rounds). There, he and his friends got up to France after D day, and got across the Channel. Then he got on a ship for America. I had another relative who was a Marine in the Pacfic. I don't remember much else.

I would like to start playing stuff other than KSP. Maybe I'll upload a stop-motion I did a few years back. Any ideas for free flash games that I can screenshot? Also, any good free and safe screen recorders? Link https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCmiCfTnEp_Gre842Ii3NsNg

Oh, that's what that thing is... And this guy says people who play ksp are smart. Imastupid.

No, I play violin, therefore I win!

He didn't do much research on Kerbal before he made this When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me. Unless you're this guy. He made himself look stupid. He just needs to try and fly an SSTO into LKO, 'cause that's SO hard. The physics in KSP probably make us dumber. If I flew a real plane, I'd try and take off at 50 m/s and stall and die. More like phy-sucks. How in Kraken are you typing in small font in mobile? I must know of this magic!

I am going to leave a comment on his video (he seems to be replying or at least reading most of them) directing him here. I wonder if Scott Manley would be interested in this? #DresAwareness ... and Attention Also, look at the time you posted this. Is it purposeful? Maybe...it's ALIENS!

My YouTube username is TheKosanianMethod. That was the result of me sitting on the edge of my bed, staring at my door, thinking about what the Internet would know me as. It comes from my last name, but I don't know how "method" came into the mix. I think it comes from me doing things my way, all the time. I added "the" because many of the successful YouTubers have three-part names (Pewdipie, Jacksepticeye). Well, no, now that I think about it, it comes from a running joke I made a while ago (as in over three years ago). I was annoyed by all of the ways to do one math problem, and I made a convoluted way of doing a simple addition problem. I called it the "Kosanian" method. I don't even remember how to do it, it was so complicated. Ever since then, when someone does something the hard way my freinds say, "That's the Kosanian Method of doing that." It stuck, and now I really like it. Plus, who the hell is going to use that username? And if it's too long, I use "TheKMethod" instead, like my Reddit.

I've seen a few videos (like Scott Manley) of a Kerbal Carrier mod. They were kinda old (as in .18). Does anyone know if the mod still exists, or if it's been abandoned? I would love to not torture my poor laptop with 800-part stock carriers. I still use 1.0.5

This my very overkill SSTO. Four jets, two rockets. And lots of G-forces... Here's a little montage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upiil3LCwkQ I'm currently working on an SRB-boosted one, a kind of JATO, just to get to space quicker (and hopefully make large payloads feasible). And people were saying SSTOs are dead! They're alive and well! Now I need to find pilots insane enough to fly it... JEB!!!

Off to the subforum! Thanks, by the way.

I made two SSTOs when I first downloaded 1.0.5 in December. One is a two-jet, single-rocket, the other is an overkill 4-jet, 2-rocket. Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upiil3LCwkQ Yeah. It will get a suborbital trajectory and be on rockets in four minutes from starting the jets.

Use FH or other launcher to bring up a probe with RCS, an OMS, and fuel. The probe clamps to Hubble. Then, orbits are matched with ISS, and rendezvous is set up. The probe, with Hubble attached, is docked onto the ISS. From there, the required repairs are made, the probe is refueled. Then, Hubble is boosted into stable orbit.

So you built a WWI plane that can do something better than an F-15. Nice looking replica, the White Baron will like it.

Is the Switchblade supposed to remind me of an F-15 Eagle? Great job, they are beautiful. I'll use them as inspiration for my fighters.

Now I have a backup for if I can't find the carrier mod that I'm looking for. How much does it lag in 32 bit, I still use a lightly nodded 1.0.5 save. Also, VTOL tip: The radial monoprop engine make nice jump jets. 4 can easily lift a stock Aeris 3A. 4 would be good for me, I use STOLs, I am horrible at landing vertically. Screw your stall speed!

"Tin Turkey, Yeti, Ivylog, Garter Snake, and Waterfowl." Me: Why are those familiar? "I'm a bit of a maverick. " Me: Nooooo... No way... This is just my 80s-Ness coming out. Wait... don't know what Tin Turkey and Ivylog are, but if I'm right, Yeti = Iceman, Garter Snake = Viper, Waterfowl = Goose. D.N. = Maverick. Waterfowl gave me the the first clue, I was very sure with "I'm a maverick", the need for speed spoof was the nail in the coffin. Is D.N.'s SSTO called Phantomrunner?

You're welcome, well deserved.

This. Is. Amazing. More please! You are awesome at this! Keep it up!

Arsonide! Stop! There can be no reason or logic on the Internet! But really, I was just going to say this myself, but Arsonide said it better than I ever could have. The autostrut is temporary. So are the many other "workarounds". Of course, if the workarounds are not improved, but treated as a solution, then we have a problem. The Squad devs can't directly control Unity. Only the people who make it can. If you want to complain about Unity's wheel implementation, go to THEIR site. Squad: Don't start half-fixing things. KSP and it's community are your oyster and your baby. But babies are annoying. They'll complain about everything. And everyone can hear that complaining, even if it's about something small. So fix all the issues, and don't half-ass it. But don't take too long, either. I can't find a good closer, so I'm just rambling now... I'll shut up.

Thanks! I'll compare answers if anyone else replies.

I don't use Steam for KSP, I download it from the store. Is there any way to download another copy of 1.0.5? I just downloaded a bunch of mods for it, but don't want to mess up my current 1.0.5. Thanks DoctorDavinci for said mods! How do I move .craft files from game to game of KSP? Same with from save to save? Can I be lazy and just copy-and-paste? If I want to back up my KSP, can I just copy the whole game folder so I have 2? When I download a mod(s), I make a separate save, and while I have that mod installed, I only use that save. Can I still have that save without the mods, just not play it, or do I need to delete it? I've been playing since .21, and still don't know these answers... I feel uninformed. This will hopefully serve as info for new players, not just me, so PLEASE explain very clearly and make sure everyone can understand your grammar. Pretend you are Redditing on explainlikeimfive.

Burn, baby, burn!

None of that addresses the spamming issue. You really can't make a KSP part that works well for small payloads but not for larger ones (aside from part count considerations). Would be simpler, IMO, to just make it dual mode instead of electric (LF+IntakeAir for Kerbin/Laythe and LF+O for the other atmospheric bodies). How about this: The engine detects if it's on a body with air, and if said body has O2, it uses IntakeAir+LF , but if the body doesn't have O2, it uses ElecticCharge. Or, we can just nix the EC engine altogether, and have it use LF+O, very slowly. With .625 meter ISRUs, and a small drill, we can have a plane that can self-refuel anywhere when landed. I like the second option better.

I'm looking for 1.05 versions of Kerbal Konstructs and Kerbinside. Does anyone know where I can find them? I've checked several pages for them, and can't find them. Thanks in advance! How to know when you're lazy... when you use the forums to do your work.
