What SQUAD should do

[account212]

With the new updates the game is becoming less of a game and becoming more of a simulator. Sims are fun for awile, but they do get very old quick from the realism. I understand that SQUAD wants to make KSP more realistic but they shouldn't make it too realistic, SQUAD should make another category when starting a game that lowers the aero forces to .90 and let's people launch incredible things into orbit again.

I like the new aero... we can still launch incrideble things... but not impossible things...

In the game's Debug Menu (Alt-F12), go to Physics > Drag and select Replace Drag Cubes with Spherical Model, which allows 0.90-esque aerodynamics in 1.0.x.

That being said, SQUAD is committed to the new aerodynamic model for the forseeable future; they're not implementing realism for the sake of realism, but fixing what was a fundamentally flawed initial implementation.

ahem....

this was launched with 1.02 ... maybe not incredible enough for you, but quite unrealistic compared to the real world

let's people launch incredible things into orbit again.

Gee, I wonder how humans made this without 0.90 aerodynamics:

This topic has been argued to death anyway.

I disagree, Squad should make KSP a deep, immersive spaceflight simulator that is as realistic as possible.

And don't give me that "Orbiter is thataway" crap, Orbiter has neither the VAB/SPH nor a Linux client.

Some people think simulators are fun.

I would like KSP to be more like Dwarf Fortress. "The outpost liaison from Kerbin has arrived." Building colonies on other planets, where you mine resources and can sell them back to Kerbin, get offered monarchy, deal with Strange Moods...

There's nothing you can't launch into orbit. Just don't forget to add struts and boosters. Anyway, I bet there are more than 100 people supporting the new aerodynamics for each man who wants the old aero back.
