Showcase your Sketchfab!

[DuoDex]

Just embed SketchFab models of your rockets, your planes, your rovers, your SSTOs, whatever.

Both mod and stock craft welcome!

Here's one I did to test how it handles Firespitter animations. I am quite amused (and pleased) with the result!

[technicalfool]

Decided to see how it copes with 0.25 craft.

Mostly okay! In this case, a 3.75m tank delivery system for 0.25 with FAR.

[Zucal]

I'd participate, if there was an OSX version of the exporter.

My new MIL-1-D Armed, the struts have got a bit messed up though

[VR_Dev]

I am in love with this. It is a super dope way to share crafts.

Here is my f22. I am too lazy to find and remove all the struts though.

ShiftER2O did the Longsword for me, but the second one (which by the way is an unlimited range ore prospector), that one I did all on my own.

Apparently it gives any engine a fairing even if they didn't have them, and it doesn't render the quadcouplers, but all in all, it looks really good.

Rune. Turns out it's quite simple. Putting them up, not making the crafts.

unlimited range

Ahem..

[SHiftER2O]

Ahem..

Welll, it has an ore-to-resource converter, so that's something close to unlimited, right?

[Rune]

Ahem..

There we go: I just checked again, 4.2km/s when refueled with only liquid fuel, not counting filling the ore tank and converting on the fly to squeeze a bit extra. That is enough for a Gilly surface-Moho surface leg. And no, of course that is not Eve. But you can fly by it, even get some upper atmosphere under your wings. It all begins with a hop to Minmus, and all you need is patience and some fancy navigating.

Rune. I any case, I didn't claim it could land on every body, just that it has unlimited range since it can refuel.

Yup I guessed that Eve and maybe Tylo where out of question. But there is a difference between having the lowest possible dv required and actually flying the mission. I fear it would be impossible to fly by hand if you have the lowest amount of dv possible to complete the maneuvers. (yes I like putting pressure on you ).

But you know I only fly missions in my career save, where I usually have dozens going on at the same time, and end up gong slower than 1:1 in RL:KSP days ratio! I would never finish this. Unless I set up a save and play that one, but then I wouldn't have KSP time to do that while also playing career, and also build something for the forums every now and then... It's settled: I need a pilot that can test it for me.

Rune. I would die it KAC stopped working!

I didnt say anything about flying a grand tour dude. I just mean the single dv dependent leg of the mission would be impossible to fly by hand when the dv levels are so tight.

I had a look at this sketchfab thing. I'm not a fan at present. The craft look crappy and you have to install third party software to do it. When they update it I will use it for sure.

If you ever need someone moderately bad at flying...

Oh, there's margin! After the talk I've had with Mesklin on the other thread, I'm fairly certain 3.7km/s would be the real bare minimum, and there's the empty ore container that I don't use in my calculations, or the RCS propellant (that I would of course use first, as Scott has told us a gazillion times to do when we are strapped for dV... that buys me a couple hundred m/s out of the liquid fuel just on account of a lighter ship).

I was surprised at first, but then again, if you think about it, the kerbin system is not that big, so if you know your stuff and do the burns when (and how!) you have to, you can get very far, with very little. And that's without using gravity assists, because I don't really know how to predict those (even if I use them to change inclination every now and then). With those you could really cut into the circularization burn at Moho... but that's probably not necessary because he showed me that from Eve's orbit, that's a mere ~600m/s. Anyhow, hope that also helps you in planning future missions!

If you ever need someone moderately bad at flying...

Sure! I'm always on the lookout for pilots to test the stuff I won't have time to because of my little manias when playing KSP (no hyperedit, barely any timewarp if there's something else to do). Shall I sign you up for one of these, so I can see how a pilot that is struggling with the new SSTOs handles the (admittedly difficult) ascent? DOn't take it the wrong way, but after seeing you comment on a couple of SSTO threads, I get the feeling you are still not fully comfortable with the 1.0 aerodynamics. And there's the Base Pack I left to DMSP to test a couple weeks ago, I never asked him how that was going...

Rune. He'll probably see this, no rush in that case.

Cool, that seems a bit more reasonable.

Well, it's as big as it is and there are certain amounts of dv that are required for any given transfer. I don't think it's correct to say you can get very far with very little, res ipsa loquitur!

ok here's mine. sporting rogue fuel lines, struts, and launch clamps.
