does anyone got a dV map for 1.0.2?


Recommended Posts

Yes, but I suppose this is optimal dV, that is, for the "lower as kerbaly possible" vehicle drag. If one decides to launch a pancake into space, it will be much different, unlike the old days where differences resulting from ship design wouldn't make such a big difference.

For more classic 'suboptimal' manual ascents, with a rocket with side boosters (but with fairings) , personally, i'm closer to 3500 m/s of dV for a 80x80 lko ascent. Now, the vacuum delta-V requirements of the old delta-V maps once you are in lko are still the same as before (what dV you needed to reach a low dres orbit from LKO for example, is still the same as before - as the orbital parameters of the planets are still the same.)

Now, as the vacuum chemical engines are less effective, and with various previously massless parts now adding weight, you'll need a bigger chemical stage than before to have the same delta-V.
