Quick question about propeller efficiency in breaking ground. I've noticed that the thrust a propeller output at a given deploy angle is a function of airspeed. I was wondering, for maximum efficiency, if you could someone automate the deploy angle to be proportional to your current airspeed and therefor have maximum acceleration and top speed without doing it manually.

Hey guys. I've been having some trouble with Unity lately. (I'm using Beale's beginner modelling tutorial) Whenever I drag the model and collider OBJs with its textures into Unity, the materials folder does not appear. I don't know if there is a work around it (AKA Beale's way isn't the only way.) But if anyone has a clue as to why it's not working, that would be great.

Yeah, i found that out the hard way.

I found a less accurate but simpler equation: hg = 2v/2. I think it's a bit more at-my-level. xD

This is a bit of a technical question, so there might not be a simple answer. (Or an answer that KSP players know) Does anyone know how to calculate your end apoapsis based on your total DV. For example, if I had 500m/s of DV, and I burnt straight up. How high would my apoapsis be (Ignoring air resistance.) I'm sure there's some equation for this, (Based on DV, gravity, and the Oberth effect) but I'd rather not have to figure it out if someone else knows it, or if there's a simpler answer.

I think i was thinking of another problem with doing that. I'm pretty sure i added canards to an aircraft and offset them to gain enough lift. The only problem was the aircraft (in time warp) would start rolling to the left. For some reason the SAS could not adjust for it. But it only happened in time warp, so it's not really an issue. I guess I've just had bad experiences with it, so i unconsciously never choose it.

I do that sometimes, if the CoM and CoL are off by to much. But i try to find other options before resorting to it, because it can make your craft less aerodynamic.

Thanks for your help, it worked. I don't know which direction the CoM would go, but i didn't test it for more than a minute or so. So I wouldn't know.

I'm having trouble building a jet. for some reason it flips when I apply the elevator. The center of mass and lift are in the same place, and the elevons controlling pitch are set to almost zero(engine gimble is also off). The reason I know it's not the elevator intensity is because when I hold the elevator it starts to turn very slowly, but then speeds up until it ends up flipping, and subsequently stalling. I have built lots of aircraft, and i have had this problem a few times. I have a hunch it has to do with mass, and the wing's surface area. Although i can't be sure. If anyone could help, who's a bit more skilled at aircraft design, that would be great.

I was looking for a fix to this problem for so long, can believe i didn't just look to see if there was a patch "Corrected an error where high speed missiles would sometimes not detonate in the correct location."

Wow, that's amazing! My missile can't even hit a target

Actually, the glitch ended up being repeatable, that's how I snagged it. Thanks quicksaves

WHAT??? KSP, explain! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQz3F5HVCkc

ikr LOL

VERSION 0.2 Flat Kerbin April fools. Sorry

No hate towards squad. It's just kinda funny that they would have that in their planned features page

What happens when your bored, found some sick music, and you play KSP... This.

if there was a neutron start in the middle, does't not this mean that the affect of gravity would be a lot different than earth?

As we all know, Kerbin is 10 times smaller than earth, and to simulate the same gravity it must be 10 times as dense. That means Kerbin's density is about 55 grams per centimeter cubed (this does check out with the wiki.) And the density of osmium (the densest element) is only 22 grams per centimeter cubed! What is Kerbin made out of!!!

I'm probably gonna do that.
