    Not in m/s though
  2. Skylon
    Launch!

    HYPE ROCKET LOCATED

    Yay! New stuff! Keeping me hooked as always!

    Is this realistic enough? Not sure if I can enter two into the modern category, but could I enter this into the stock/BDA category?
  6. Skylon
    Oh no... which category are twin GAU cannons allowed in? I've got one on my next entry planned, and it's really heavy and powerful. I think two will be overkill.

    Is there a good guide on building stock bearings and propeller engines? I am very inexperienced in building them, and I haven't successfully built an aircraft entirely powered by them yet.

    My question: Why is putting solar panels on roads more effective than putting them by the roadside, where they won't have the weight of a car going over them? Surely even having them suspended above the road would make them cheaper?

    Wikipedia seems to think so, though it says it's just uprated thrust. The titanium grid fins have already flown (they are flying again for CRS-12, right?). The game-changer seems to be the Block 5 upgrades, with stuff like more reusable heat shielding around the engines and 'improved' (stronger?) landing legs and further upgraded thrust among other reusability-friendly things

    Britain reallly doesn't like giving us a proper summer

    Play them together with the ITS video muted. Try it. They synchronise quite well considering that they weren't made to go together.

    I'd be interested to see a guns-only category, probably just with old-style propellor planes

    I feel like every delay just pushes the Falcon Heavy launch date back further

    Not sure if this is the kind of thing you'd like to do, but maybe once you've finished all the planets/moons you could talk about potential politics of the Kerbal System; a Laythe/Jool independence movement may exist, maybe talk about the governments. Without violating forum rules of course.
  15. Skylon
    @MiffedStarfish I'm not entirely sure about your rules. How many/what guns are we allowed? Also how big is the competition range going to be?
  16. Skylon
    *drools* ...must have more...
  17. Skylon
    That's amazing! I wish I could learn how to make and use stock bearings and mechanisms. Stupid Question: Could this be used to drive a custom stock wheel and car? Then you've truly won KSP. But I guess with so many separate crafts it would be very unstable...

    https://kerbalx.com/Skylon/SB-1-Dragonfly Designed originally as a bomber aircraft and based off of the U-2, can be converted to a recon aircraft by removing the bombs and missiles and adding cameras. I can convert it myself, or you could do it if you wanted to. I think it can fly at 270m/s at 5000m, but that's probably with the bombs loaded.

    For the modded modern jet category I'd like to enter my SF-1 'Peregrine' https://kerbalx.com/Skylon/SF-1-Peregrine Add BDA stuff (Vulcan guns), missiles etc. or use your brother's version. Use the AI settings I suggested on his thread

    I'm not sure why @DerekL1963 is being like this... I haven't seen any cinematic coming from him, so I wonder how experienced he is in filming. I've had a go myself, and it isn't easy. I think he wants more sweeping shots that run past the vehicle and then out again. I think the CameraTools patching function works well for this. But honestly if your next cinematic is anywhere near as good as this one, I'll enjoy it.

    Just finished a night-time photoshoot with my almost-finished SF-4 '(Insert name here)':
  22. Skylon
    I listen to a wide range of stuff, i like Capital Cities, Aloe Blacc, Gnarls Barkley, Macklemore, Some stuff by Rudimental (Waiting all night, Feel The Love), John Newman. Along with other songs, like Stay Lost (Cabu Remix), Gecko, You've Got The Love (Florence + The Machine), Beautiful Escape (Tom Misch), and some less modern stuff/artists, like Bob Marley, Elton John, David Bowie (of course), Mr. Blue Sky, September. Not sure i have an absolute favourite, it really depends on my mood.
  23. Skylon
    Man, that's beautiful. I wish my computer could handle the graphics (and the recording) required Do you plan to do more? I'd like to see a cinematic to the music of 'Faded' by Alan Walker... maybe some kind of Apollo 11 build up/mission.
  24. Skylon
    Not a real one, but an edited screenshot. I might try editing it again to add glow from the engines Edit (Spoiler because it's off-topic):

    Just checking: LOM is Loss of Mission and LOC is Loss of Crew, right? Could an empty-of-crew Dragon 2 land from orbit, perhaps from a cargo mission (I think I read this was planned somewhere) Coudn't they do a drop test where they land with engines? Possibly with some switched off?
