  1. Just a quick question regarding a technical aspect of this mod: from where does it calculate LoS? Is it from the CoM of the craft or the position of the antenna? I was thinking of erecting an antenna on a pole of Kerbin such that it would always be in line of sight to the Mun, however this would require a tower of at least 330m height, which is fairly plausible.
  2. Would it be possible to use the slope of the best-fit line for Cm vs. AoA (the yellow graph) as a basis for the distance of the CoL indicator from the CoM indicator? A positive slope would place the CoL in front while a negative slope would place the CoL at the back.
  3. I've scoured the internet looking for this question, but Google has returned no results. So, wouldn't having a radio tower at the poles with the biggest dish cover the entire solar system? (except for a blind "area" near Kerbin, starting just slightly beyond Minmus' orbit, assuming a tower that's 20m high) A taller "tower" (airships anyone?) can reach 20,000m; having a blind spot that's 2.3 million meters high, close enough that geostationary orbits are covered.
  4. I've noticed the game simulates uneven drag, so it might be because of the intakes on top dragging the top of the plane backwards, pitching it up.
