The diary of an insane builder - A blog/report on ship building and flying

Sorry for the necro!

Anyways, being off of KSP, I decided to work on a new company logo! I still can't get it right..

The concept was a Boeing 747-100 SCA flying with the Shuttle between two stripes.

It was then that I realized.. I made a French flag.

Moving on!

I still can't get the font (or, for that matter, anything) right. What is this, a decadent chocolate-making industry?

Not bad, Columbia's rockets and fine confectionaries?

How about this?

I whipped it up in a couple seconds, and I'll add whatever name you want, if you like.

Looks amazing, MRS! I wish I could do those kinds of stuff myself.

​Would you mind if I use it as my primary logo?

Edit: Sorry, I have to spread the rep around..

Go right ahead! Would you like me to add something after "Columbia's?"

No, the logo is alright

Well, maybe, but for now, it looks awesome as it is. Thanks again! You're a big help

Well, I'm often off KSP for the weekdays because of IRL stuff, but so far, the rate at which I build has significantly slowed because of the predicaments I've been running through - Some which are impossible to solve.

On the positive side, though, I've been succeeding more with a list I made to keep things organized. So far, I found it to be a very helpful tool:

Other than that, I've mostly been flying the airliners one-by-one to diagnose every problem I encounter - Hence the list above, browsing the forums and Facebook, and listening to the (glorious) Symphony 9 by Beethoven.

So!

~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~

I took a break after releasing 5 airliners, to work on some WW2 Bombers. Namely, the B-29 and B-17. With a big twist of irony, the B-17 was made a week before the B-29, but the B-29 finished completion first, and while the latter seemed to be too ambitious, it had less parts, less performance issues (1 Update in contrast to the B-17's four updates) and overall much more aesthetically pleasing. (I mean, at least no one told me that it was messy, or that the nose ruined the look, unlike the B-17!)

Three other projects sprang up: An Avro Lancaster, a De Havilland Mosquito, a Bleriot XI And a Douglas DC-3, as well as a line of --- you guessed it--- Buses! I mean, why, of all things? I still have a whole 18-craft ship pack to release!

Well, I decided to take the Large Airliners pack to a whole new level. Pushback trucks, Airport Stairway trucks --- Everything.. Even the Shuttle buses that take Kerbals from the Terminal to the aircraft! (As you can see.. I have no life.)

So far:

I've also been able to make an Airport Stairway Truck (No pictures yet ;-; ) but from what I CAN tell, it fits snugly in the A340's cockpit hatch. Meaning, they're exactly level. At one point, I was unloading a Kerbal to test the City Bus (the first one) and decided to take it out for a ride.

I drove it from Kerbin City's airport, all the way to Kerbin City itself. (I was lucky there was a small patch of land connecting them both.)

Also, I'm approaching 1,000 posts.. I need to make something special!
