I agree.

I'm pretty sure the point of retina is marketing. But I stand by my point, lower the resolution. You don't need it that high.

Well, sorry to say that I can't fix that for you. But I will ask, why are you using a laptop at that resolution? Lower the res on the laptop and that should fix the problem. I'm playing on a 27" monitor at 2560x1440 and I don't see why I would need it to be any higher. So maybe give the lower res a try? I bet that after a few hours you wont even mind it.

I don't understand why you guys are crashing so much. I had the game running. alt-tabbed out of it. put the computer into sleep mode, came back. played again. browsed the internet. watched tv. made and ate supper. played some more. watched more tv. played more again, and I finally just turned it off as i've played enough today. It didn't crash once in all that time... Maybe i'm just lucky.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I'll give that a try. was pulling my hair out. and i dont have a lot left...

Not arguing, but interesting story. After the crash of Swiss air 111 back in 98, I was at the Moncton Airport in New Brunswick (in a private building, not the terminal). A RCAF Airbus A320 had just taken off and was going transatlantic. About 15-20 minutes into the flight they reported back to the tower that they had smoke in the cabin and were returning to land. While they did dump fuel on the way back, they didn't have enough time to dump enough fuel to get below the max landing weight. So they landed anyway, above max weight, with a tail wind in rain/fog(and i'm pretty sure that they took the ILS below mins). Full thrust reverse with a runway covered in water was pretty cool to see. We were hoping to see a tire blow from hot brakes but I guess with all the water it was able to keep things cool enough that it didn't happen. Sorry, off topic but the comment about how max landing weight is lower than max take off weight reminded me of that story.

Haha, but you still had the time to try and get in the last word. Might as well have said "I'm taking my bat and my ball and I'm going home"

I think that the fins should have also been boosters. Because you can never have enough boosters.

I just do what i always do and edit the part file. 400 thrust sounds about right...

1. Don't care. 2. Is it true that he felt unappreciated? That's for him to decide. No one else can make that decision. 3. Don't care.

I just add fins/wings. Airbrakes, sure you can go that route. Does the same thing really. And if anyone is concerned about losing Delta V. Just add more boosters. Heck, while we are at it, why not edit the values to make the fins/wings dragless? Or increase the ISP of your rocket so that you gain an extra 1KM of fuel. It's a single player game. Play it your way.

I must be the only person who doesn't hate Curse. Or I just haven't noticed anyone else... Not sure what the issue is, I can find a mod easily just by searching for it. Downloading is quick and easy. Why do people hate it so much? Is it just a trendy thing to do? I don't really remember kerbal stuff. I'm sure that I used it before and i'm sure that it was fine but I honestly don't remember it. At the end of the day, Squad has provided us with a site that we can use. Maybe it's user friendly, maybe it isn't. But It's fine for me... If someone from the community wants to make their own site to host mods then great, so be it. But it's kind of disheartening to read that the same community that claims to love it so much never said thanks to the guy to the point where he decides to call it quits.

I rarely use heatshields on anything as it is. shallow approaches and some left over thrust to burn and kill your leftover speed.

Hello, I made a large jump jet type aircraft, and on top of that attached a fighter plane by a stack separator. The jumbo jet hasn't a single part from this mod. The fighter has radar and missiles. When I separate the two, the jumbo jet is I guess the primary as that's what I stay in control of. When I switch over to the fighter that is now flying on it's own. I can't bring up the radar. Even though it does have it, and I was able to bring it up before the two aircraft were separated. I assume that this is a bug, sorry if it's been reported before.

Hahahahahha... Hahhahahah.. You think that's bad? The company that I work for has decided that when it comes to job listings. That technical and correct information is something outdated. And they have moved to having job descriptions that are vague, in the same way that the parts in KSP's contracts are vague. For example: "you have a history of proven results … of making the products and services you have worked on and companies you have worked for better, stronger, more loved and more purchased." What does that even mean? It sounds like something that I would put on a resume just for filler to make it sound impressive. I agree, I wish that when I am supposed to include a part, that it specifically told me what part to include. It's a space program. It needs to be technically correct.

What would you like to test? Mechjeb will tell you Thrust to weight ratio for every body. Other than that, you can just test it on the launch pad. sure there is atmosphere and set gravity. but if you just want to test to make sure that you have everything that you need, it should work just fine.

All Kerbals are my own personal cannon fodder. These two are no different.

Just tried this mod, ended up doing a 2 vs 2 fight. so awesome! could be it's own separate game.

Building a ballistic rocket launcher and taking out the space center. It had extendable legs for support. and the angle of the rocket could be raised or lowered.

Guns. Lots of guns... And missiles! Maybe some pew pew lasers...

I edit my save game when i run out of funds and dont feel like grinding more missions to get funds the "right" way. So do i feel like its cheating from time warping to get easy science? nope...

I know that people will argue with me on this... but whatever. CoM in the real world on real planes is the center of gravity. The center of gravity is a point about which the airplane rotates on all axis. More detail here if you like: https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/K-12/airplane/cg.html Or here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_gravity_of_an_aircraft CoL, or center of lift. Is not something that we generally think about when flying a plane. Because the wings are fixed, with the exception of elevators and ailerons. Having said that, imagine you are sitting in a plane and you pull back on the controls as far as you can. You just moved the "CoL" forwards. In front of the CoG (center of gravity). So the nose of the aircraft is going to lift, and the tail will be pushed down. So, picture where the CoL ends up. That's your forwards limit. If the center of gravity, is close to that limit. You will need constant back pressure on the controls to keep the nose up. Hard to picture I know. Basically what I am saying(and trying to convey 2.5 years of studying theory of flight), is that you should have the CoL at the CoG when you make your plane. Putting the CoL behind the CoG does not add stability as some people say. It just means that the plane is going to be nose heavy, and you will need constant pressure(also known as trim) to move the CoL to the CoG to keep the plane level when in straight and level flight. If you picture the CoL as a point in which all lift acts, it's behind the CoM so it's pushing up on the tail. That's not stable... The two points need to be at the same point so that the forces are in balance. This doesn't help with your issue that you first posted about(I just hate hearing that CoL needs to be behind CoM for stability)... I need to know more about that aircraft and your game. Modded aerodynamics for example? How much do your wings flex? Or even the fuselage of the aircraft? Could be a lot of factors really... I will say one thing, I would remove the three wings and get the B9 procedural wings. I personally find that they work a lot better.

If Kerbals could age, and die from it. I would care. But they don't. so I timewarp years if I need to.

2560x1440. 27inch main monitor. I have a new 55inch samsung 3840x2160 tv. Tried it on that, and it looked nice. But for some reason the mouse cursor wasn't smooth at all. Made it hard to control the game.

You only hurt yourself in a single player game. So cheating is up to you as no one else cares about what you do. Me, I wanted to upgrade the VAB but didn't have enough funds. I edited my save game file and gave myself 1,000,000 more funds. Was it cheating? no, because I don't care about what anyone else thinks about what I do in my game.
