I made a nice airplane that feels quite manouvreable with your mod: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jy57qcfrmtruuqc/X-Kerbilazier-mkV.craft You need this mod as well though: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/realchute/ Realchute, because using the wheel breaks at high speeds is pretty suicidal... Since the last update you really need an analogue stick I think. I am playing with keyboard, and the rolls are almost too quick to control. That said, this plane is very flyable without having SAS on. It could use smaller engines though, but there don't seem to be any. XD

Do you have a changelog hidden somewhere?

Needed mod: RealChute. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/realchute/ Recommended mod: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/20451-0-23-Ferram-Aerospace-Research-v0-12-3-Aero-Fixes-For-Planes-Rockets-12-17 https://www.dropbox.com/s/jy57qcfrmtruuqc/X-Kerbilazier-mkV.craft

Show part axis - I once managed to put on a control surface that turned the wrong way when rolling. The other control surfaces on the same wing turned the right way. Align part rotation with craft while placing part -key. Move part while still connected to the same surface, for easier moving of parts without having them rotate on you.

The patcher is failing because the site is experiencing the equivalent of a DDOS attack of enthusiastic users who are all trying to download it it at once. This is what I get when I try to get to the homepage: "Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /host/www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/htdocs/lib/database.php on line 4 MySQL connect failed. Too many connections" I'm gonna try and be responsible and wait till tomorrow. Try being the operative word. I am excited too!

I don't quite see the disconnect between challenging and educational?

Isn't KSP supposed to be an educational game? What I want is similar challenges that a real space colonisation program would face, with the possible solutions available based on NASA consultants and maybe Hard Science Fiction novels for some more exotic solution possibilites. That said, a fun final goal would be to construct an interstellar generation ship and send it on its merry way.

I don't think you can make flaps in KSP yet. Flaps are sections on the wing that extends, making the flight surface bigger, Basically trading off drag for lift. It's a moving part.

I managed to make an aeroplane that was quite easy to fly. It's still hard to land, but that's mainly because of lack of air brakes. I did managed to land it on the ground, although not the runway ones. My speed was too high though, the engines fell off, but the rest made it. Then it wouldn't stop, I tried to apply down force, but that resulted in a crash. Gonna try adding a parachute.

Supporting this! I really want Kerbal Lego! Gimme!
