It's pretty easy to reach that altitude with xlr11, rocket engine plane. No need for massive wingspans, you can reach karman line with 1957 tech with either quad engined rocket plane or hybrid propulsion plane with 2 jets and rocket engines kicking in at 15k altitude. I can dig out mu old crafts for reference(approx 2-3 years old), if i recall correctly karman line mission with quad engined rocketplane lasted 15-20 minutes with 7-8 minutes powered stage.

You could work around this by using multiple user accounts, but it sucks. All settings, saves, and what looks like logs land in c:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Intercept Games\Kerbal Space Program 2\

Back then I had core2 duo e8400(now my CNC router brain) and low profile radeon hd7xxx and don't recall framerate issues. I have 3070(dell OEM crappy one) and ryzen 5600 and KSP2 runs smooth, but nothing seems to work as intended, from VAB trough staging to trajectory plotting.

That's why I just landed on the mun in 0.18.3 smooth as a butter compared!!!

How much time do you have?

Good, you saved bunch of money and lots of frustration with a "game" where nearly nothing works. Bought this lemon, played for 90 minutes trying to build and launch a moon landing capable vessel, closed the game after not succeeding. Maxed out graphics is pixelated and loks like anisotropic filtering and antialiasing are off(both on, toggled and re-checked) VAB is half funcional staging is broken bayond 1 engine per stage Part manager breaks when staging breaks so even manual engine activation is not possible EVA has 50% chance of sumoning kraken manoeuvre gizmo sucks Trajectory plotter has 50% chance of showing capture/escape nodes in revrerse. Trajectory plotter lacks ability to display selected node info(ap/pe altitude) when manoeuvre gizmo is active, making trajectory adjustment major PITA. We were promised feature cut version to ensure quality and we got ksp0.18.3 free demo feature list with ksp0.11 bug list. removed and do not plan reinstalling for next 12 months.

Karibou wheels are messed up again. here is corrected config. copy the file above to GameData\UmbraSpaceIndustries\Karibou\Parts\KER_Wheel_01.cfg and enjoy working karibou wheels again.

Try playing career, makes even less sense. Huge ISRU converters, tundra pioneer,PDU and storage modules are unlocked for 90sci in tier 1 research centre. First tiny drill is unlocked 2 research centre upgrades later for 550sci together with ranger "starter" ISRU converters and with WOLF cargo containers. Where is the logic here?

I never liked stock aero, it's rubbish and defies logic. I never manage a successful aero flight with my own ship design. FAR or bust. If ksp aero will follow KSP logic(or rather lack of it) it won't fly for me. I'll pause purchase untill FAR2 comes out.

I do hope you're right and it won't take ages to get ouf of sandbox. My hype deflated greatly by the end of 2021 and died completely now. Looking back at KSP roadmap(I bought it in 0.14 or 0.15) I really can't muster any optimism, one can hope new blood in dev team would help, but I'd rather expect total flop and be positively surprised.

so... 3 years work went into pretty UI. And it sounds like RoveDsde's MKS/WOLF will become stock sometime down the road when we get colonies to work. Judging by progress so far colonies will become a thing in 2033 and mutiplayer in 2050. Removing KSP2 from my steam wishlist.

AFAIK it's a core/stock KSP behavior, nothing to do with principia code.

I'm thinkig as i type so bear with me. Or, you could simplify it all. Calculate station keeping cost in dV/day. Put vessel on rails and deduct propellant based on time spent on rails, that's roughly how station keeping in OrbitalDecay mod worked. Sounds simple but putting vessel "on rails" would probably mean rewriting half of the integrator.(I know nothing about it) On the other hand thrusting in timewap would potentialy work better with limited ignitions engines like in realism overhaul, that's assuming ignition counter would be affected. I wish I had the skill to help more than just throw ideas around. edit Big prolem with atmospheric drag and solar pressure is that their influence strongly depends on vessel orientation, unless vessel is a sphere. I think every principia player would appreciate station keeping that "just" deals with orbital perturbations. Maybe starting point would be adding flight planner option to calculate burn to return to current orbit in user selectable number of days?

Orbital decay was discussed/proposed before. Around 2016/2017 if my memory serves... TBH I as much as I enjoyed it(orbital decay mod) in non principia games I don't miss it one bit with Principia. Give it a go, when your comms network won't last a month due to orbit perturbation, only thing you'll miss will be your sanity First post mentions orbital decay as a thing "relatively easy" to add once the mod is playable ;), but at this stage I don't thing there is anything easy about this(amazing) mod. And there are always other things do improve, add or bugs to smash, so iguess it slipped to the bottom of the to-do list.

Yes, Yes, Yesssssss. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! It's as big as adding numeric input fields to flight planner.
