Okay I have a space plane that can't takeoff at the current runway length so how bout a longer, MUCH longer runway?

Hi all, In testing my Curiosity rover I came across the need to change suspension settings when in-game. I had to change the damper strength due to a wheel bug that broke the wheels when the heat-shield deployed. I had to lower the damper strength which worked in stopping the wheels from breaking but is less than perfect for higher speed roving on Duna. Why cannot we have the option to change wheel damper and other settings when 'in the field'? We can change some settings so it's not a realism issue it seems just like a lack of options. What say you? It would be great to be able to change full wheel settings on the fly like that as situations change a lot when out there in the solar system.

I don't think I've ever seen a craft's maiden voyage go quite so smoothly as this one did. Whether it was my steady hand on the controls (not) or just a fantastic design, who can say? The latest in the SexyLifters series is here! This modular and expandable asparagus-staged beast in its baseline configuration (2 asp stages, 2 stacked stages) provides 45,000 kN of thrust at launch and can lift 400,000kg into an 80km orbit with some delta-V to spare. Of course, with that much thrust, she could easily lift 1,200,000kg, but you would need to add asparagus stages to provide the delta-V to get that to orbit, and we all know about that tyrant Tsiolkovsky (more fuel means more mass which means more fuel and more engines maybe, which also means more fuel). Anyhow, 400,000kg, as it turns out, is quite a bit of mass, so here's some shots of the reference payload (375,000kg) being launched - and it was beautiful! Download the craft from KerbalX! As always, YMMV and all warranties are void if the craft leaves the VAB. Danny. Thanks for downloading and upvoting my crafts!
