Very Excited for 1.1!!!

[UniQueKakarot]

Can't wait till I get my hands on these new parts to play around with

[Wjolcz]

I have plans for that cargo ramp. Awesome plans.

Same.

Seriously, people should calm down about the plane parts. I mean, I'm not really excited about the big 2.5m Turbofan and don't see much use for it, but "Juno" and "Panther" are something I will find 100% useful, especially on Laythe. Also the "Juno" engine looks like something light enough to move around with KIS/KAS installed, so that's a plus too.

I'm not really excited about the big 2.5m Turbofan.

Personally its the thing I'm most excited about, It'll be much easier to build a huge plane to cheaply carry that rocket through the first 20-30km of atmosphere.

Who cares about all that serious stuff? We got a GE-90! I have no bleedin' idea what to do with it, but it is awesome!

Actually, seriously what useful could I build with GE-90? We don't even have wings big enough that would look good with those.

I'd rather have a Trent

My main problem is that every time there's a new update I start a new career, and on my current one I've got got as far as the Mun and Minimus. If they keep releasing new versions I'll never get anywhere

Because it's an enormous turbofan... And it looks pretty close. Real GE-90 has a diameter of 3.5m.

Late reply, but I always find the real life scale of aerospace tech compared to KSP somewhat awe inspiring. I mean, I've built a Saturn V lookalike with the 3.75 m parts in KSP... And then I find out the whole of the thing could comfortably fit inside the space shuttle External Fuel Tank. It gives a real sense of perspective of the insane engineering feats we perform to send things into space.

The GE-90 will lower the part count by a lot compared to using my current modified sgt_flyer animated engines...

I also am very excited over the new parts. The new Mk1 crew cab, fabulous. 2 Kerbs in a 1.25. the new designs are endless.

Heck yeah, that Mk1 crew cab will be extremely handy for early game tourist contracts, or when you have a small(ish) lander that needs a few extra crew on board without bulking it out too much.

[Luna-Industries]

I can see the Mk1 cab being quite useful for space station escape pods...

Exactly, that and about another zillion designs and combinations! +1 bro

I will finally play again. I skipped the 1.0.x completely as it didn't add anything substantial and mods weren't updated for a long time. The 64 bit, new wheel physics, less bugs and new parts sound really great!

[NuclearNut]

The new MK-1 will be good for... quite a few things actually. For example I will be finally able to properly make that atompunk small nuclear rocket that I always wanted to build properly. It will also look believable for business jets and small shuttles. I think it is a good change.

Y'know, I'm starting to think there's a sufficiently large enough market to warrant the release of an indy-level lego-airplane building simulator. Heh.

You should count on the mods not being updated for a really long time. It's an entire game engine change.

[steve_v]

I barely played the last release at all, as I'm still waiting on reasonable performance and bugfixes. 1.0.x was slower and buggier than ever, here's hoping that 1.1 will see the game actually running at a reasonable framerate, without stuttering, OOM crashes (bug-free x64 please), or random overheating.

As for new parts/features, they look cool but: meh. Mods are usually better anyway.

I seem to recall from a couple weeks ago Mu said something about localization. Will that mean we can translate the in-game texts?

[OddFunction]

I think it means the entire game will be in that language. No translating necessary.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[federicoaa]

Because I reaaaaally want to have the game in pirate english XD

No, that's absolutely ridiculous.

Once they incorporate a Shakespearian translation, THEN we can talk pirates. But not before.

September 19 is coming up fast~

[Kuu Lightwing]

I hope they spec it more like the Trent than the GE, 3 tonnes is an awful lot more weight to be carrying...

I mostly hope we'll get big wings to mount this beast under

[ThatGuyWithALongUsername]

I'm excited about 1.1 too. Now, where's the hypetrain thread? Just because its after 1.0 doesn't mean it's not worthy of hype, does it?

Kasper told me to wait until Experimentals.

oh.

uh... 10char?

You got one part of that wrong - the GE90 is only used on 777's. You must be thinking of the GEnx (which is based on the GE90) - that's the engine they use on the 747-8.
