Spaceplanes are HARD

[Event_Horizon5]

A short video I made showcasing some of my most spectacular failures. It\'s the sequel (I guess) to the well-recieved Rocket Science is HARD. Hope you guys enjoy!

Fullscreen recommended where possible.

Your not doing it right, MOAR BOOSTERS!

[Tosh]

Nope. Moar struts

[Cooly568]

>:-(

[Tim_Barrett]

Nearly every explosion made Jebediah scream... either you are doin it right, are you are doin it very very wrong.

[RedDwarfIV]

So many designs I had never even considered.

[samstarman5]

I think I see where you went wrong, there.

You left the hangar.

[patrickcanttype]

I lost it at 1:18

[Frostiken]

Not sure if doing wrong...

... or KSP.

[Frostiken]

The little rocket car doing barrel rolls down the runway was the best. You should try that one again, but with struts and landing gears all over it

[Rich]

Just tried this, the wheels make great air bags, haven\'t managed to kill the crew yet even thought the entire craft was annihilated.

[sss]

First one was like all my spaceplanes in 14.3

[Waslop]

I\'ve been giggling at my hopeless space plane failures for the last 2 days, but I have to say even my flip prone multi stage space planes weren\'t as... ambitious as most of these. I need to try harder

[Katalliaan]

Great collection of failures. Well-timed to the music (hard to go wrong with Kevin MacLeod!), although I doubt anything can compare to the near-save made in 'Rocket Science is HARD'.

[SteevyT]

Wow, I wish my computer would even let me attempt half of these, much less record it too.

[antbin]

This should sell a few copies of KSP... well done (and I love the gull-flapping flying wing)

[Naiba]

I wish people would make some of these without the stupid music. It puts me off linking the vids to anyone I know.

The stupid music fits the silliness of the designs as they fail spectacularly.

[Naiba]

No it doesn\'t, it\'s annoying, and after the millionth time it\'s been used it\'s not even remotely funny.

*The designs are pretty funny, but I’m having to watch it with audio off.

[RedDwarfIV]

I guess its a matter of opinion. I prefer having the music on. I have often gotton bored of KSP videos when they don\'t have background music.

[togfox]

Enjoyable vid. great music choice.

[xzbobzx]

I have to say; creativity, you lack not.

[boolybooly]

nicely done!

Try pressing Caps Lock, it activates precision controls. I found that planes were unflyable for me until i used Precision controls (the Yaw, Pitch, and Roll icons should turn blue), and even still the sensitivity makes it touchy. Even my joystick takes only a quick accidental flick to make a spectacular failure. And, of course, for those of you who hate seeing Caps Lock turn on and off every time you play KSP, just change the button in the options menu from startup.

Also, most of the takeoff fails seem to result from adding *gasp* too many boosters. You really only need one or two, it\'s just that the plane CANNOT (and i\'ve tried, but someone will prove me wrong, i know it...) take off without taking the gear up in my experience, lest you use more than enough boosters.

Well, yeah, many of my planes fail to takeoff until they leave the runway. I am thankful that it is high enough for me to tilt my plane upwards.

IN an unrelated note, I made a hellishly insane-size biplane... the wings were long enough to be big on a jet. Needless to say, it\'s pretty damn tough to fly. SAS or not :/
