Wayfare Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 On a mission to Vall, after two hair-raising aerobrakes through Jool's atmosphere I decide not to put myself through another one of those and circularize the orbit I've got. After burning a few dozen Delta-V I get this:Damn, it doesn't get much better than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramipro Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 @Martonaut You can go to the settings.cfg in the KSP_win folder and go to patched conics and increase the number there to have more than just two.And, man that's a slingshot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeath Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 He's got his conics patch set to a non-default value. Blue is the current orbit, yellow is showing an encounter, and purple is showing the results if he does nothing during the encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enture Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So, tonight I suddenly thought: "Hey, let's mess around with planes again!" I tried -literally- a couple of times in 0.15 and 0.16, but got nowhere close to a reliable plane (my best flight ended in a crash-landing 30km away from KSC). So I went to the KSC, made good use of the new center of lift & mass cues, built a little plane, the Aspic-2X...•Spaaaaaaaaaace! Well, suborbital, at least.•Close fly-over from the Lonely Mountain:•Final approach...•First soft landing! It almost felt better than my first Mün landing.

Great, I'm happy to see them being used. I've got some 4 meter ones sitting on my hard drive, just been distracted for a few days. I'll upload them tonight, hopefully.

Yeomans Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I was walking away from the Launchpad with Jeb when I saw this beautiful coincidence.I did pull it up in photoshop to tweak it a little bit, but nothing major.Anyways, hope you like it!

SargeRho Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Gravity assists. Gravity assists everywhere!I forgot to take screens of my Kerbin departure, but basically I used first the Mun, then Minmus, and then Ike for gravity assists to get to Duna. Slingshot around the Mun, then Minmus, then a gravity-brake around Ike (gravity slignshot in the opposite direction of its orbit), and finally landed on Duna using parachutes.
