  1. Fuel stop #1 on Bill and Jeb's Polar Adventure. Was at about 50%, but decided to top off before flying over the monster in the background.
  2. Also, is there any way to get the FS3FDM Fuel Drop Mount to stay attached to the craft when it dumps a tank?
  3. Forgive me if this is the wrong thread, but searching "Firespitter" takes me all over the place. Yesterday I built a plane that uses 6 of the Fuel Drop tanks. Figured 600 units of liquid fuel would be plenty. But when I went to fly it, I only had 300. So I checked, and sure enough, even though the tank advertises 100, it only had 50. Thinking maybe it was some mod conflict or bug, I checked the cfg for the tank. Sure enough, it was set up that way. Was this intentional? RESOURCE { name = LiquidFuel amount = 100 maxAmount = 100 } MODULE { name = FSfuelSwitch resourceNames = LiquidFuel;Oxidizer;MonoPropellant;ElectricCharge resourceAmounts = 50;50;60;200 basePartMass = 0.25 tankMass = 0.5;0;0.1 }
  4. Hopefully someday we'll be able to land Kerbals on Pandora and Elpis. First thought I had when I saw that Take Two acquired KSP.
  5. I was never big into planes until I started installing mods, and got into the prop planes. The Mk2 Expansion mod really helped too.
  6. Got Jeb and Bill a new toy to play with.
  7. Sailed this guy to Eve. Because apparently going to Eve is just what I do now. Dumped 2 relay satellites in orbit roughly 180* apart.. they won't stay that way, but hopefully between the two of them and the ship (now a station) I won't lose signal with the stuff I'm about to send to the surface. Once had a rover roll a good 5km down a hill because I lost connection a couple hundred meters from the top. I know I'm using @Snark and @steedcrugeon's relay mod to essentially hammer in a trim nail with Mjolnir, but I don't care. I'm obsessed with deployables. Anyone know of a mod that will cause something controlled by a probe core to automatically engage the brakes at loss of control signal? A fail-engaged system like trains have?
  8. Started a new game, because when I change how I do things or install a new mod... everything must be re-done. Also apparently Nokia makes the fairings.
  9. Installed like a dozen parts mods. Gonna take me awhile to get used to all these new pieces. I don't even know how to build things anymore.
  10. The only "issue" I've ever had is that I can't dock stuff to it in editor.
  11. Landed on Eve! Ladder was a little off, and apparently 1 out of 3 Kerbals are too stupid to figure it out. She's stuck. The other two were able to climb back up. Edit: After 7-8 tries, finally managed to get the rover down too. Turns out I had a terrible descent plan for it. (Fairing as heat shield). Had to come in super shallow, took three orbits. Yay! Except it couldn't be further away from the lander.
  12. This 501 piece monstrosity is theoretically about to take Arbas, Napond, and Mitden on a one way trip to Eve. Packaged is the lander, decent sized rover, and a relay satellite to drop into Kerbol orbit on the way there.
  13. I've been looking, but the only solution I found... didn't work. Probably because I'm not a programmer. Not sure why they're not just included as jpgs or something, but I'm sure Squad had their reason. I think most of the images have a nice dark spot on the bottom where the words go, don't they? Might have to just screenshot'm.
  14. Were your "Photoshop skills" doodling over it with black in MSPaint like I did?
  15. BT - Force Of Gravity. Used to listen to BT a lot in High School. I don't anymore, but this song gets stuck in my head randomly every couple of weeks, even though I haven't listened to the song in quite some time.
  16. The dish / solar panel overlap would drive me insane. I don't know how you live with that. I've aborted entire missions because of overlap way less than that!
  17. Yesterday actually, but I moved my Mun miner base, since it was on a hill. (The Thud engines at minimum throttle essentially turn it into a hovercraft that slides around with the RCS) Then I completed my first surface docking with the fuel shuttle.
  18. I pretty much stay in Sandbox. So until I start a Career game I care about, if it burns up in the atmosphere or explodes on contact with a planet/moon, I'm good.
  19. I've got roughly 40 rolls of filament. Only 3 are ABS, and those were sort of on accident since I mistakenly believed they were a good idea when I got my first printer... which is not enclosed and the bed can barely reach 80. So I don't use them. I've got one roll of PETG which I've yet to use, and I'm actually running my first Raptor PLA print right now. Most of what I print is just find in regular PLA.
  20. Oh I know. Luckily it hasn't been an issue yet, but I'm not using any of the super absorbent stuff, like Nylon. I used to worry about my PLA, but after a year and 4/5 printers, I've yet to have any issues. The filament I keep at work is kept in a pretty well climate controlled office, and the stuff at home is in drawers inside a cabinet with two of the printers, so the heat keeps it fairly dry in there. I should at least keep my ABS in bags... even though I never use it because ABS is such a pain.
  21. I would ask in the specific threads for the mods in question. If it's possible, it's likely going to work differently for each one.
