I don't understand how you seem to find it impossible on max settings? Even just a simple SLS using the new parts is over 65+ and launching that to orbit, with volumetric clouds as well, is a breeze on the i5 SP2 4gb. I honestly have never run into a performance issue, on highest settings, with this thing. That said, most of my operations consist of LKO or Apollo-style missions, so I'm not exactly launching behemoth asparagus launchers. I imagine that yes, that would push the GPU a bit. But still, the SP2 is more than capable of handling KSP on highest settings, at full screen.

That looks wonderful! Fantastic detail with the handrails

I use the SP2 for everything, work, play, study etc. It's an amazing, incredibly versatile device. As well as all that, it can run KSP on full settings. I use the 128gb 4gb RAM SP2 and it can handle KSP on max with no lag whatsoever. The fan does it's work, it never overheats nor gets unbearably loud Love this device. EDIT: a mouse is pretty much essential for KSP though. I did go through about 3-4 months of not having one and got by but it was a real PITA. I eventually caved and bought the Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition and haven't looked back, it's an awesome, highly portable mouse.

That part looks quite good for a Block II Aardvark, Lack. Or Freedom, as you say.

I would like a Saturn 1B craft file to go along with the SIB, if that's ok?

I'm also a huge ETS fan. Here's a kit-bashed Apollo Block IV I put together today using only FASA and stock. I'd love to see an implementation or standardisation with FASA so I could truly realise this great alternative.

I use my 128gb 4gb RAM Surface Pro 2. Highest graphics settings work like a charm and the fans only turn on occasionally. Great machine which I can pack up and send Kerbal to the Muni on bus rides with ease

Ah I see. Do you think it might be possible to make the ALSEP box a KAS-style container in which the experiments can be stored? And ah I see! Good to hear, looking forward to this very much

Very, very good mod! Only question I have is how do the ALSEP instruments fit in the ALSEP box? I have KAS and VNG installed and I can't figure out how they actually go in the box? Also, I'm guessing the rover rack is for Bobcat's LER?

Thanks! It was a really fun night. And I still can't watch his death scene properly it just gets me every time Anyway, great work so far and I can't wait for the big reveal!

Very true. As excited as I am about this project (Serenity is my favourite ship of all time), I trust that when you can spare the time you're working hard to deliver us an awesome reveal, hopefully soon I'm an enormous Firefly fan and this mod means an awful lot to me, especially knowing how incredible your previous sci-fi works are. Slightly off-topic, but I hope everybody had a very "shiny" Hallowe'en!

Looking fantastic so far, lovely angles. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished thing. I recommend the Welding mod as well because it'll really knock that part count down!

Today I sent up my newest and best ship, Kerbal 1, which is basically SumGai's Service Module System with a pretty kick-ass launcher. Included with the package was testing equipment for KAS 4.0, which went like a charm. After that I boosted it to a 500km orbit and docked it with a small cargo ship carrying large containers full of equipment. My ship's crew then spent a few happy hours attached to what was now a small space station with their grappling lines, floating about and building up the research outpost from what was in the boxes. It was really awesome to be able to build a space station from what I'd sent up into space

Oh those are just wonderful, brilliant work, both of you! Can't wait to get the chance to try these out myself, big fan of this mod, had a lot of fun with it so far

Hey Razorcane, any progress pics of the CM? Those models looked beautiful

Glad to see you having fun with them! They're pretty nifty looking, I much prefer them at this size as opposed to the stock sizing. And haha yeah, "stable" is not the right word for these wheels unfortunately, any sharp turns exceeding about 12 m/s will end in some very dead Kerbals! It's not a lot better in Munar gravity either (read: it's much, much worse)...

You're a star, thank you! Brilliant work all round!

If you're on a laptop, you need to press fn+alt+f12

That looks way better! Awesome job, I hope to see it released soon as I really want to test that out! Also, I use OSX for KSP, any chance of a .zip download?

Awesome use of Fairing Factory, I'd never thought about that before but it makes a lot of sense, and definitely looks great! Only suggestion I'd make (if it's possible, I'm not sure) is to make the FF stages a bit whiter?

I'd like to see that rover from the new video - that's way to awesome to just tease and never release! Also I'd like to see a wider variety of landing gear for both planes and rockets, as well as some new lander parts and working science equipment. Oh, and IVAs for the aero capsules and Hitchiker container would be good too.

Thanks, yours was a great inspiration And I only had that occur once, for about half a second when I first took it to the launch pad. I've been test driving it on the Mun all day and I haven't seen anything like it since, even in the reduced gravity. I also haven't seen anything like that occur with the normal-sized wheels... hm, weird thing I guess. The only real driving issue I have with the rover is that once you go over about 12/13 m/s, you're seriously at risk of the whole thing flipping end over end and killing your exposed Kerbals as it smashes into the ground, once you take even a small turn. Docking controls help this a bit, though.

Presenting the (Apollo-style) Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV)! So I was inspired by the 0.20 trailer's Apollo-style moon buggy (which, btw, I really hope Squad either releases or releases the model for so a modder can create it in-game...), and decided to take a crack at it using stock parts, seeing as mod are a bit short right now. However the only wheels I could see working were Awaras' scaled down medium wheels so I just replicated that with a quick .cfg edit. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, managed to recreate the silhouette and most of the shapes nicely. The only things I don't like are that the umbrella can't unfold without looking ridiculous (so I keep it closed) and the wheels stick out much too far. Other than that, I'm pretty pleased with it, as it looks quite a bit like the real thing. It's probably also small enough to attach to a LEM like in the later Apollo missions .craft file .cfg file for rover wheels (place this in your Parts folder)

Pretty sure that's fixed it. Thanks!

I have, and it is still a .txt document.
