  1. Many thanks and I shall await the new, improved version with eager patience
  2. Sorry to be no help but the fact that a tank is exploding on an Apollo 13 recreation is just too much appropriate misfortune not not remark on!
  3. I\'d like them please - and they look pretty good to me

    Hey

    Good show on the lack of death! Can always rescue them later Welcome to the forums!
  5. Good grief! Wouldn\'t have thought it possible but once again I find myself in shocked admiration! Very nice work! Mad but nice work! At this rate we\'re going to need a port and water based VAB!
  6. Welp, yep. That went as about as well as could be expected Good on you for trying it though
  7. This is just silly. I like it! Cunning solution to the problem of ballast too. I ownder if we can persuade Harv/Squad to provide actual ballast tank parts/coding?
  8. Without seeing the desing in question I\'m going to have to provide some general advice instead of anything specific. I generally avoid much in the way of maneuvering in the lower atmosphere (below 10\'000m to 12\'000m), only a rotation so the rocket is heading 90 East and maybe up to 10 degrees of lean to the East. After that slowly ease the nose down to 45 degrees at about 50\'000m and then all the way down to 0 degrees by 70\'000m (or intended altitude). Fins, the non moving ones, can help aerodynamicaly stabilise a rocket and for one particular design I have to use the C7 Delta wings as fins! Best of luck to you! Back to the main thread: Closette: Lunar Lander was the first proper game I ever programmed a version of. Fond memories For general Mun landings I enter orbit at 10\'000m, kill horizontal speed and then drop to the surface, eliminating any dregs of horizontal speed with RCS and braking with main engines at the last moment I dare. To save fuel on return to Kerbin I\'ve started to preform aerobraking orbits, allowing a highly eccentric orbit return to Kerbin (ignoring direct return) over a half dozen or so orbits. In fact about half the duration of my Mun missions are the aerobraking orbits, though I want to decrease that a lot (hence this thread is of much interest!).
  9. That is awesome! 8) Though dang shame about the failed return trip failure. At least the crew can be recovered with luck Better luck next time! And remember to leave room for the first crew in the capsule!
  10. Good show that Squad! Nice to see more people to the awesome!
  11. The forumites are restless and playing at war on an unclaimable and officialy unnamed map with weapons that can\'t hurt their enemies. Basically highspirits and shouting. I expect that things will return to the normal crashing and random explosions once Squad and HarvesteR are returned from the holiday. Welcome to the forums!
  12. Bilbo or Hobbit - as it goes there and back again
  13. That\'s brilliant! Simply awesomely brilliant! :hailprobe:
  14. I\'m from dear ol \'Blighty - Long live the Queen! Tea! Crumpets! More specifically from the county of Norfolk, not as flat as it\'s made out to be.
  15. Damn good show! Always good to save the lads, especially from such a near disaster 8)
  16. Happy Christmas and Happy Launchings! and avoid typos...
  17. A good and informative tutorial, enjoyable to boot! I look forward to more. 8) One little request, at the end of the second video you mentioned that the wings being along almost the full length of the craft keep it stable no matter the fuel load, so something about how to balance wings with payload position would be very useful(so if the craft is nose heavy due to a habitation module or something, how should the wings be \'designed\' for best results?). I hope that makes sense. Keep up the great work
  18. Which ever one you get play it in the style of the other! ;P
  19. Third for the Vulcan. May have been designed for a style of warfare that never happened (thankfully!) but proved herself more than capable. Hell, could even bring a trio of fighters along for the ride in the shape of three Gnat \'parasites\'! Added to that ol\' gal, anything which mounted the Rolls Royce Merlin engine; poetry roaring! 8)
  20. Looks like it\'s progressing as expected ;D
  21. Yeah, Mun mountains tend to turn up at the worst moments! My \'where the heck did that come from?!\' moment: http://fryzbe.deviantart.com/#/d4fa5ah
  22. Welcome to the forums and best of luck with the Mun. Remember to kill horizontal velocity before landing!
  23. Ferrit

    New :D

    Good show on the pre-order And welcome to the forums! May your launches see safe landings!
  24. Congratulations! And safe-ish is good enough for Kerbals!
