    SpaceX Falcon Heavy

    in Science & Spaceflight

    Posted · Edited by Vanamonde
    Keep it clean, please.

    SpaceX just posted a new animation of what the Falcon Heavy's flight profile could look like, it's pretty cool!

    What's the forum's thoughts on Falcon Heavy? Will it fly? Do you think it will it be one of the most popular heavy lift rockets in the future?

    Of course, hopefully even this summer.

    Greetings from Iran!

    Thanks for being supportive, but I am not offended by any of that. It's not my doing! It's my government's.

    I just wish people would consider other aspects of Iran besides its military shenanigans and foreign affairs.

    Welcome DavidBowman! Always good to see that spaceflight, science, gaming and other nerdy enterprises can bring people together. Good to see you're ignoring the idiots and taking the high road ;)

    Don't panic!

    "Don't panic!"

    Aahhh the name of my Wifi network :)

    Welcome Spide! I also lingered long in Kerbin's SoI, becaming really good at Mun and Minmus landings. For some reason I pushed going interplanetary away, every time finding a good excuse to launch yet another Mun or Minmus mission. But trust me on this one, nothing gets your blood pumping when you get your first Duna encounter. And after that high you really need some more, what better than your first Duna aero-capture and subsequent landing? You're in for the longhaul buddy, this game will consume your 2015.......

    Survey contracts: game crashes when entering survey area where a surface measurement is needed

    in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, modded installs)

    Posted

    Almost every time I approach a survey area that asks for a surface EVA or surface temperature scan the game quits on me. Is this a known bug perhaps?

    Most of the time the message "Now entering area XXX" is still displayed and the game crashed shortly after.

    Your Absolute BADASS Moment in KSP

    He of course promptly fell off the vessel, which did not have SAS engaged. I hit Jebs EVA RCS, and frantically maneuvered him towards the wobbling and rotating ship. Got him aboard about 20km later, and even managed to click and get the EVA report I was hoping for. Was very exciting.

    That is proper bad-ass Good Sir!

    Good job squad, I see great things with this game. The ground work is set and this game could release right now and I would say its excellent. But I know more is coming and I can't wait to see how you guys implement it.

    This, for the first time in months I cannot wait until I go home after work to continue my Career I restarted late last night (just got to orbit, so lots of stuff to do). Also for the first time ever I was really thinking about the different ways to proceed, which facility to upgrade, which contract to choose (because Max=2 you have to choose wisely early on, love that!), how stay under 18t, etc.

    For the first time ever I can now really say, YES, this is a game in the true meaning of the word.

    Thanks Squad, for all your blood, sweat and tears in creating this awesome game. So go enjoy a well deserved Christmas!!

    Where has this been all my life!

    Wherever it may rank amongst other achievements, never feel bad about making orbit.

    ^this. I can still remember my first orbit, something like 18 months ago :)

    Welcome maceemiller! I really get your statement that nothing makes you feel like KSP. I have exactly the same!! Don't worry, that sense of achievement will remain. Your first Mun or Minmus landing, your first orbit and landing on Duna, first time seeing Jool from a distance, surrounded by moons, large and small, begging to be explored. And suddenly you realize you got the hang of it, when rendezvous and docking become "easy" and landing on Duna is sort of run of the mill. Maybe you get scared that you've reached the bottom of the barrel, that you've "finished" the game. Only to realize, NO DUDE, not by a long shot! And than you try your hands, and fail multiple times, at the Jool-5 Challenge, or a crew return from sea-level Eve...or etc, etc, etc.

    Enjoy man, you will! :)

    Infernal Robotics: corrupted parts?

    in KSP1 Mods Discussions

    Disclaimer: no screenshots yet, will post some when I get home if needed.

    So I'm doing an Easter Egg hunt around Kerbin with a big airplane that is outfitted with a Karbonite refinery and a deploy able rover using Infernal Robotics. To deploy the rover I made a boom using IR consisting of a rail, hinge and a piston with a Jr. Docking port at the end. It works great when deploying and grabbing my little rover.

    I just landed at my third anomaly (strange sand colored structures ;) ), got the rover out, did some xploring, drove back, aligned with the docking port on the boom and lowered the boom gently towards the rover. After a bit of shacking it seemed they connected normally (like they did during testing and at the previous anomaly sites), but when I started retracting and folding the boom things looked a bit broken. Everything is still connected, however the rail doesn't respond anymore and the piston seems to have "inverted" (difficult to explain, will get a screenshot up in a few hours). The hinge still works but the 0 degree point seems to have shifted.

    Any easy way to fix this? Maybe editing the save file? I really do not want to start this mission again after countless hours of flying :)
