I downloaded ksp but it isn't working, I was stuck on a black screen, I'd like to know why, is it because my computer isn't fast enough or is it something else, also, the ksp music thingy is still playing. please reply

KerbX aims to provide a launch service to kerbin that the average joe can enjoy! you can watch our livestreems either on You Tube, our live coverage on Twitch. I hope you enjoy this. UPDATE 1: LAUNCH MANIFEST: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qj8p9_oqCtk7NbR-jhyZFcfzHtQMfRY5vieIx5ebgEQ

Hey guys, so I try to add a few parts to KSP for fun. It all works great but now that I want to add a bumpy texture I run into an issue. It works in Blender and Unity but is very bright and flickering in KSP (The control thing up top). I generate a normal map from a bump map in Unity and as mention it works well inside the Unity editor as you can see below. The texture I use besides the normal map is just the regular on is use for the other parts aswell. Maybe that's the problem? I read another forum post where somebody said I would need to somehow mix the specular and the color texture into one? I'm not sure what that means. Thanks for your help! The Solution: Somehow the Unity internal Normal map generator from greyscale images doesn't work well with KSP. I downloaded the software xNormal and it works flawlessly when I generate normal maps with it. What a pain that was.. Nope, I changed two things at once and the real reason it didn't work before was I exported my textures to TGA files. THat works on regular textures but bump maps apperently go wild using these. Using MBM as a texture format works!

Just a fun little post here thanking the game and community for the added enjoyment of last night’s space x launch. I got a phone call from my fiancé asking if I saw the weird plane in the sky. I turned to look and was struck with awe and fear as I saw a massive light with an even bigger tail. My brain quickly raced through the possibilities of what it could be. Was it a returning space shuttle? No, NASA hasn’t launched a shuttle in years. A meteor? No, we would have heard of it’s approach. Oh god could it be a missile? My fears grew as I saw something detach from the craft. “Oh no, it’s a warhead” I thought. Then after that 10 seconds of confusion and fear, my 500+ hours of KSP experience kicked in. It was a rocket!!! I quickly ran through what I was seeing: The contrail due to it reaching the colder upper atmosphere, the gap in the contrail due to throttle down, the throttle up once it had gained enough altitude to not have atmospheric resistance, the separation of the main stage, the ignition of the secondary engine, and the spinning of the main stage in space and it’s eventual reentry into earths atmosphere. I called my friends and family, most of whom were scared it was a UFO or missile themselves, and explained to them exactly what was going on, all thanks to an indie video game. Since then I have been obsessed with watching footage on social media, the space X stream of the launch (link below) and KSP videos. It was truly an awesome thing to see but even more awesome to scientifically understand what I was seeing. To be able to break down each step in the process but also to understand why it was happening. Thanks to this game a cool experience turned into an amazing one. Thank you Kerbal Space Program for being such a great game that I was able to take experience from a game and turn it into understanding of an actual rocket launch. This is my favorite game I have ever played and now, thanks to Space x, I love it even more. See you in the skies!

This is a summary of the previous exchange between @KSK, @Bottle Rocketeer 500, and myself. KSK origionally said To which I replied BR500's reply... My Reply KSK's Reply Again BR500 replied My sadly reasonable response KSK responded And besides my last response that is what we come up to. What do you think?

Ever wanted to add a custom flag to your missions in Kerbal Space Program? Check out this quick video tutorial:

So recently my ksp crashed on the loading screen, used to be okay but after replaying it, the ksp crashed while loading. need help. output log: http://pasted.co/8a28db8e

Sir George Cayley Glider Often I like to reflect back to the early days of flying to educate myself a little about these Aeronautic Pioneers. Today I would like to show some honor to Sir George Cayley. In 1799 he set forth the concept of the modern Aeroplane as a fixed-wing flying machine with separate systems for lift, propulsion, and control. Straight out of Jebediah's Junk Yard is what I'd like to say about this craft, although the craft will give you the sensation of how fun flying these early craft must have been, well somewhat! Powered by two Juno Engines and controlled by Elevons and Conards. Thanks for checking out my latest build and I hope you enjoy it until my next Pioneer's Craft Build. More Pictures here Flight Operation: *** IMPORTANT TO SWITCH CONTROL TO THE OKTO2 TO FLY *** Use SAS, full throttle, lift near 60 m/s is working nice but less or more speed could be done.

I recently installed BDArmoury, CAL, NKD and b9 aerospace. I made a scud launcher and when I launched it instead of getting a mushroom cloud i got a tiny blast as if it was a part, I had the coordinates in, I had the trigger armed and i had a weapons manager. I also got the same problem when i used my bomber and dropped nuclear bombs, there was a tiny blast, I also had it for the FOAB. Can someone please help i really want to explode stuff.

I’m interested in doing a KSP turn based war using BD armoury, similar to “fall of kerbin” and “kollaborative warfare”. The game will require 2 or more players/teams, building there own vessels and setting up defenses and attacking each other’s bases by taking it in turns to pass around the save file. Should be really good fun! I’ve tried doing a similar thing by myself but that’s getting boring now! Will need to come up with rules. Reply if interested

Every time I try to do it I get the first satellite in place and the second one that I try to do When I set the altitude it spawns right inside the other satellite and explodes. Is there a way to do it right. Am I doing something wrong? Can you pros help me please still learning everything.

Im challenging myself and others to make a space station and a moon base there will be different levels of the challage here they are challage 1 (station level 1) build a station with 2 modules (not impressive but a good start) challage 2 (station level 2) build a mir sized station (i'm doing this one) heres a link so you know what it is for those who don't know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir challage 3 (station level 3) build a ISS sized space station ( modules in between 15 to 36) heres a link of the iss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_of_the_International_Space_Station You can do one of challenges and will be enough here are the moonbase challenges challage 4 (base level 1) land a vessel and a base within 100 meters challage 5 (base level 2) launch 4 base modules connect them you can use kas and kis and land crew their challage 6 (base level 3) launch 7 base modules connect kas and kis is not allowed to be used to connect the modules and land crew there and have life support that can last a year for 10 kerbals ( i will be doing this one i would like to get a lot of people involved in this some of the people more specifically are very talented people (everyone is talented) i would like to see tyler raiz,winged,cosmonaut crash,Kevin Gustafson,alexchivilev and chris p bacon (yes that is a name) lexchivilev,

Hi there, fellow KSP enthusiasts! I am AJDerpatron, a zany person who enjoys making other people laugh through random and silly YouTube videos I make involving gameplays, skits, and other videos. I often play Garry's Mod and Rocket League on my channel, as well as some FSX:SE sprinkled in here and there. I have also gotten back into KSP very recently from one of Matt Lowne's recent SSTO videos. Yes, I do have an old account on here where I did make some stuff for the KSP community(one of my old ship packs is farther down below), but I felt as if I If you have ever heard of Big Shaq, then you will definitely understand what I did here in my latest YouTube video. https://youtu.be/kT1B6CpPdS0 This video is really more of a silly take on how Big Shaq claims he is “never hot” and a HuffPost article I read about how NASA wanted to send Big Shaq to the sun to see if he can ever get “hot”. Whenever I can, I’ll post a link to a forum post where I’ll upload the craft file used in the video soon, and maybe another variation of it(probably with higher capability and function as opposed to the original craft). I’ll also probably include it in a future Ship Pack that I’ll make during Christmas In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoy this silly video of mine that I created. I hope to see more of the KSP community that I’ve never seen before and I hope to be able to contribute more to this amazing community that I found. See ya, AJDerpatron Old Ship Pack:

Em mods so don’t know if this is in the right section so just move it to whare it should be thanks! MAP: the orange and purple have parts hidden for some reason-not finished still being changed (The red and yellow are already taken, gray orange pink and Wight are non players with very few defences) So me and some other peaple are planing a war series with BDA and some other mods and we need two other players to join and take control of one country. The war won’t start until after Christmas or sometime around that but it will have lots of mods and probably will be very pc intensive. MOD LIST game version 1.2.2 or 1.3 still working on it You need to think of a name and flag for your country and a bit of backstory coment if interested

"DARKEST FEARS" 1 Hundreds of metres away, shrouded by a thick blanket of forest, and a tall electrified fence surrounding the complex, within the Hawkins National Laboratory, the Department Of Energy laboratory native to the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, a small, red light began to flicker on one of the huge banks of buttons, lights, and screens that composed the control room of the laboratory's central test and observation chamber. A beep began to sound as the light flickering became more intense. The little sensor was calling for someone, beckoning for someone -- anyone -- to acknowledge its existence and the danger it posed -- not the danger of the light, but the danger that the light signaled. However, the halls of the laboratory were utterly deserted, not a soul in sight, the entire facility devoid of any signs of life, each and every single door under lock and key. The red light now became constant, not just a flicker, and the beeping was now a constant, ear-piercing drone. Other lights on the console -- green, yellow, and orange -- began to flash, more alarms joining in with the screech that the red light was now constantly emitting -- beeps, whines, clangs, and whirs. A loud and deafening klaxon began to blare over the PA system, alerting everyone to prepare for something -- something big. (...as the two bubbles touched for the first time -- boom.) The klaxon and other alarms now merged into one long, continuous, high-pitched blare, as a huge boom shook the building, dust and plaster falling from the ceiling, the walls shaking violently, the entire facility subject to what felt like an earthquake. And a crack began to run down the side of the wall of the control room. It was a tiny crack, no bigger than one foot long, but it had the potential to have devastating effects. A blinding red light emanated from the crack, and a thick, viscous, green goo began to ooze from it, plastering the walls surrounding it. Tiny plant tendrils -- vines -- began to reach out from the crack, rooting themselves in the wall. A tear in space-time that led to The Upside Down had been opened once again. The constant blaring of the alarms stopped -- the sheer noise had overloaded the PA system -- but the lights still flashed, lighting up and flickering like a Christmas tree with bad wiring. And there was not a soul in sight to notice the potentially fatal and deadly event which was now occurring at the Hawkins National Laboratory. Read the Prologue Read Chapter 1 Note: The full story was removed from the forums due to the references to blood and violence it contained. That's why I'm hosting it on Google Docs. So, you have been warned.

K&S Technologies Group Kayak Racing This project started with a little Kayak I once built and it then bloomed into a Kayak Race. At first the craft was only a cool little show piece without any intentions of a rowing mechanism and we thought about making one for it. At first the rowing mechanism was tweaked and fitted to look and row nicely. Then the idea of racing came along with the creations that were needed for filming. We both hope everyone enjoys this Kayak Racing Project as much as we enjoyed putting it together. Once again a huge thanks to @klond for his inspiration with the KSP Engineering that gives me the motivation to push these projects to their limits.

I'm trying to recreate a KSP-like game in Java, and I have no idea how KSP calculates Apoapsis, Periapsis, etc. when your ship is moving in space.

Hello, i have a gamebreaking problem in my 70+ modded game. I dont use scatter and VE-Mods cause i thought they might fix it, but actually do nothing. Like the title suggests I have mini freezes after like 20min of gameplay and my memory also increases over time untill it crashes or freezes every 5sec. I have win10, 1070, i5 5XXX, and 16gb of ram. I reinstalled the game a few times and verified game by the steam option daily. I also use the 64bit version with force opengl start option. I can upload the "output_log" if someone tells me how. EDIT: Dropbox Link to normal and _x64 output_log Pls help me.

Ok, you know your a Kerber when you see a cars license plate like KSP 010, or VAB 121 or SPH 761 Nd it catches your eye. Or when you see a vehicle, or craft, and you wonder what the part count is.

@Badie , the KSP team and all fans - Steam has recently announced it's own prestigious game awards. This is a new opportunity to promote KSP and to bring the word out to poor fellows who don't know the awesomeness that is Kerbal Space Program. Basically you can nominate any game on Steam for a category you see fit. I hereby encourage all Steam users in our community to contribute and help KSP and its developers earn another shiny award; they really deserve it! Details: http://store.steampowered.com/SteamAwardNominations/ I nominated KSP for: The “Just 5 More Minutes” Award You have an early day tomorrow.

So, I am on KSP Version 1.3.1, and I downloaded MechJeb multiple times, its been installed correctly in the files and all that. But its not showing up in game. I don't know why. Any help? I have some pictures of my folders.

For me, personally, Motorized landing gear Scramjets A new R.A.P.I.E.R. - like engine The Stearwing D45 A realistic shuttle A new craft like Kerbal Y Or Kerbal Z SpaceX craft and parts, A stock Saturn V N1 Soyuz parts N-body physics Asteroids, parts, and Kerbals having gravity Being able to move entire things like planets or moons (Sometimes we want to push Gilly somewhere else), with other things with gravity, albeit not a lot. More radial engines More heatshields More parachutes Moar boosters! More capsules A built in DeltaV calculator How about you?
