SpaceX Pad Abort Test [KSP]

[fatjoe2015]

I remade the pad abort test and almost nailed it

Yes pretty much like the real one

Nice! What camera mod did you use to get the camera window or was it stitched in post production with two launches?

i would be more impressed if it were stock. this is just gluing 2 parts together and filming. still a nice video indeed

Not that easy

Original:

Subject to test was if the SuperDraco Propulsed Landing System would be sufficient acting as Launch Escape "Tower" Also, what happens when Dragon V2 needs to pinpoint many Actions in a few secons

Mods used:

DragonV2: SpaceX Exploration from LazTek Link: https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/521/SpaceX%20Exploration%20Expansion%20by%20LazTek

Radial Camera: HullCam VDS Link: https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/450/Hullcam%20VDS

Parts: TweakScale Link:https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/344

First i tried to match the timing as in the real video, but quickly noticed that this is not possible (would not reach water with 5 secs of thust)

The next problem was the 2 staged parachute, what i finally did was tweakscale 2 parachutes smaller, and attach them to a decoupler hidden under the nose.

I recorded it 4 times, each time with a different Camera viewpoint, so bear with me if its not 100% synched

But i have to say, all in all, i nailed it

Good job! I was impressed at how close the editing was with the second screen.

In the slow process of doing something similar I've resulted in scripting burns including launches using kOS! Which is a real pain I have to say.
