The Positivity Thread!

[gompasta]

After seeing all the crying about people who can't handle change, I think we need a change of pace.

Personally, I am very much enjoying the new update, and any "problems" people seem to be mostly nit-picking on tiny details, and forgetting that bugs happen and the CTG wont necessarily play the same way you do.

WHY DID I START A POSITIVITY THREAD ALL NEGATIVE.

I am having a blast with this new update, and I expect any problems to be fixed soon enough.

Yep, it isn't easy adjusting to the new aerodynamics model and heating, but I seem to be adapting! Planes are now a lot more fun to fly, and everything feels a lot more real.

I haven't progressed in career enough to do the mining and scanning yet, but I am looking forward to putting that to use.

Overall I'm loving 1.0. Best update yet IMO.

Only just scratched the surface of what's new as well. Rebuilding my lifter family so they work in this version.

Yes there are problems but they are vastly outweighed by the good things.

[EladDv]

well there's a difference between nit picking and your crafts flipping head first into the atmo and exploding with no way of saving them

i love this update but come on squad that's why we said we wanted a 0.95 also reports are coming that the SPH is a buggy mess

I am having fun as well as with all new updates.

I'm having a lot of fun, it really requires rethinking your old strategies. Got a mildly bothering bug, but otherwise I didn't expect the world and am happy about 1.0.

My first plane hit 1100m/s at sea level and then exploded in spectacular fashion, good times.

The plane controls are just perfect. Much better than before. But the issue with the capsule going backwards is really sad.

Easily solved by putting a little finlet on the top of your capsule to raise the CoL. New world requires new thinking. Solve the problems yourself, instead of asking "God" to change the universe.

I am having a blast.

I just wrapped up my first 1.0 session, and even after stranding my crew on Minmus I'm loving the update! There's so much new stuff, I just don't know how to use it all!

[Temeter]

The instability is indeed a bit weird, but not a huge problem: A slight amount of control or opening a chute as high as possible solved every instability for me.

Seems like the usual rule goes: Want a bug free/fixed release? Wait for the first patch.^^'

Well, it seems functional for the most part.

Way to start off a "Positivity Thread" by bagging on everyone that is reporting all the bugs, glitches, and just plain wrong stuff with this release.

On a positive note, I'm enjoying being a volunteer QA testor for Squad after the release. It genuinely is fun to find all the reasons why this never should have been called 1.0

Well I just flew the big MK3 stock plane (106 parts) to its ceiling with a green clock, which is an improvement!

Then it blew up cos it's got too much thrust now Performance good, but the default craft might need a wee smidge of tuning methinks

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

I love the aero, perfect balance between realism and ease of use!

[Temeter]

One thing to note is that planes are incredibly fun to fly! They also look good. I researched only a single plane node and the resulting craft actually looks like a plane. Distinctivly kerbal, but definitly a plane. That's new.

First SSTO spaceplane made, first attempt nearly made orbit = happy.

First Munar mission (Apollo-style), first attempt, landed on Mun and returned to Kerbin = happy.

So far, very very pleased
