More Zeppelins is cool. I approve.

Way, way back, when FireSpitter was first being developed, I confirmed that when checkForOxygen = false, jets run just fine on Duna. Very nice indeed!

Those are some smexy airplane parts there! The weathered black colour is just perfect as well; I would colour my entire fleet like that if I could. Just one question; why did you have a forward thrust and reverse thrust of each engine, rather than a single engine with a thrust reverser?

Personally, I like having to use the Scansat map for detecting concentrations, and don't ever use the 'big red basketballs' or other visual aspect to see the unseen. I know people like their map screen kethane overlay, but non-kethane folk probably just won't care.

That looks like a perfectly respectable cockpit. I like it.

Personally, I like to think of Karbonite as something like crude oil. Not nice, liquidly crude; but nasty oil sand crude, mixed with a ton of useless slag.

This would be fantastic. Babysitting mining bases is not fun.

The opposite could be true. Larger industrial conversion processes usually use faster, less efficient reactions, whereas smaller laboratory scale conversions are often very efficient, but quite slow and unsuited for the large scale.

Something with a lot of tubes and hoses. Maybe like this mess?

There is a great idea - a mouse-tracking spotlight.

If Karbonite is a pumpable liquid, then drills could be used to form a borehole, and a pumpjack could be used to extract it. This could also be used to counterweight a radial drill.

I have made that mistake too often. This sounds very promising!

Looks to be working well in .24

The aptly named Navball docking alignment indicator?

Wow, that's beautiful! Let's give this thread a well deserved bump.

I am very interested in this. FAR aerodynamics are way more complex than I want, but stock falls short. Thanks!

Basically, we're saying that's what has already occured.

Tried that, and there is no improvement. It currently seems to be all or nothing for me. Not that the slowdown is -terrible- for me. It is roughly half speed, making launches seem to take a long time and aircraft seem to handle sluggishly. -Note that the game runs at normal speed if I switch to map view.

A basic requirement for something to be considered alive is that it have a metabolism. Bacteria are alive; fire is not. Viruses are probably not alive by this definition, even though they borrow a metabolism now and then. The silicone cave intelligence is interesting as an example of intelligence without life.

I will need to check that out. I started by removing all volumetric layers to no effect, and then the rest of the layers. Only thed did KSP run at proper speed. Adding the default clouds (EVE default I guess?) back in afterwards using the in game editor does not affect my game speed.

By deleting all of Kerbin's cloud layers, I have no more lag on Kerbin. I really need to get a big ship to another planet and test it there. Duna ahoy!

Well, if my problem is in any way related to this, let me fill you in some details. I'm running Linux 64, so memory limit should be a non-issue. I've only noticed slowdown on, or orbiting and looking at, Kerbin. (Kerbin is the only place I have tested that has an atmosphere) There is no difference in what resolution pack I use. Using alt-N, if I either delete or reset the cloud layers to default EVE, the problems go away. I have to delete ALL the cloud layers though, and even adjusting them (turning off volumetric cloud layers, for example) doesn't do anything. Hope that helps!

Best tip ever. Why didn't I think of that?

This is really, really beautiful. Unfortunately, something in the pack is killing my FPS on Kerbin. Even running the low-res pack is substantially slower than using my previous setup with EVE, Custom Asteroids, and Texture Replacer. FPS are unaffected in space unless looking at Kerbin, and I have not checked out other planets. Could anyone suggest what might be the culprit?

Yes, Gyrocopters. The trickiness is in adjusting the propeller throttle without also adjusting hover altitude. Both use SHIFT and CONTROL, so as I go slower, I go lower. EDIT: After a brief bit of research on gyrocopters, I should point out that the main rotor is powered in this case. So, a helicopter with propellers?
