    My statement was correct good sir. Using the tools available to you IS engineering. The fact is, you make a craft for certain purpose and it is designed to take the stresses for that purpose. As I said, I have seen and made RCS, thermo, antenna hinges that do not fail under normal use. As any real machine does. Any fool can break something.

    Thank you @SQUAD for making the mono RCS and thank you @sgt_flyer for figuring out you can make bearings with them.

    I will be amazed if its released this year. Play something else for a while, a game that works.

    Who was it that made a fully working mechanical clock about a year ago? It looked quite similar to this one.

    Hi matey, I don't have this issue on my yet to be shown constellation landers. I'm not sure what could be causing this but I have never had one fly away when loading in before. The only issue I had was the small rover wheels getting stuck on the ramp lip when driving back up into the rover bay on the lander. I fixed that with two solar panels. Having said that the docking port solution not only looks fine and dandy it also guantees no movement in the ramp. Even when the ramp has no issues guantees are nice. Good work mate!

    OK thank you for the reply. I was pretty sure it would need to be coded, thank you for the confirmation. Any chance that code will be written in future?

    It's quite large though isn't it. Maybe impractically so. I have seen and made RCS bearings that do not fail under the stresses the craft was desinged to take. You just have to engineer them very precicely.

    I feel your pain, I too have dyscalculia. I would search for local adult learning schemes. That or always have a calculator with you.

    Hmm, yeah we have been asking for this for years. Anyone at @SQUAD care to enlighten us why this has not been added yet?
  10. Majorjim!
    So was I untill I made a few then they become supremely easy! Just push yourself and don't give up. Other than that how about trying to make a VTOL and taking cargo to the little island?

    True 'strong' AI will change the world overnight. It is known as the technological 'singularity'. All bets are off at that point but a good guess is that all our wildest technological dreams will come true. Some of our nightmares too.

    Beacuse someone already cheated for you.
  13. Majorjim!
    It's already been done by Klond.

    This is one of the reasons I have stopped playing KSP for a bit... I head the new version of KSP has a fairing bug. Oh well, keep hold of it dude and wait for a fix in the next patch. I would highly reccomend reading my flight instructions on the release page. It is quite a complex craft with all the functions mapped to action groups. And thanks for the kind words mate. I spent a great deal of time on this craft.
  15. Majorjim!
    I'm confused...

    Hey man, I remade this and released it december 2016! It's a much, much better replica, one of my finest. Here's a link to the release thread and a few pics to give you a flavor of it. Let me know if you run into any issues as it's getting on for a year old now, updates ect.
  17. Majorjim!
    No nothing was clipped between the rover and lander it was just very, very tight. The limiting factor are the wheels. Try gettting creative with wheel placement. Increasing camber ect. Damn man. Nice work! Is that the first working ornithopter in new aero?
  18. Majorjim!
    Agreed. It makes play almost impossible. I would go so far as to say KSP will never get an official MP update. Good luck playing one on one with a single player in another country let alone several from several contries. It just wont work.

    My thermo hinge is the smallest possible in the game. You cannot make one smaller. That's the point of it. Nice looking build you have there mate, I'm sure you could fit a rover in there. Did you see the one I put in my Apollo LM? That was about that size.
  20. Majorjim!
    How? You cannot calculate Latitude from using unknown reference points. The part he was in was unmapped surely.
  21. Majorjim!
    How, exactly, did he calculate his latitude 'underground'?
  22. Majorjim!
    Yup that mod does help in bearing design although trial and error is a good alternative. I never used that mod in any of my inital trials and thermo designs. Download any of @klond's designs that use his RCS bearing to see hoe to make a working one. See above. They have been out in the KSP-o-sphere for months now folks! Download more of @klond's stuff..!

    LOL I just re-watched it myself. I'm proud of that video, even if it's not a slick as some of my newer ones. Thanks man, don't hold your breath though.. I am very busy these days with work and will be for most of the remaining 'summer' here in the UK. I agree the removal of the door on the DRV before launch was not ideal. I couldn't at the time fit a similar upward openeing door there, it's just too small. I'm sure I could come up with a new solution though. I'm glad you like the craft mate, I spent months and months perfecting and tweaking these crafts. And loved every second of it!
  24. Majorjim!
    Hey man. Thanks for the message! This craft is a few versions old now and as such the bearing I used for the door (the first thermometer bearing) is now broken (Squad changed the part geometry..). I have been updating it as a side project but have yet to finish it. The rest of the craft are good to go though. Also, it's not a mod as such, it uses all stock parts. MJ

    They are great it must be said. The first person to use the RCS balls as bearing was the mighty @sgt_flyer in his excellent Canadarm. @klond was the first to team them up with my type of thermometer bearings making some excellent bearing with them. RCS balls are great, solid but too big for the door hinges I use so I still stick to the tiny antenna/thermos for those.
