I wonder how your computer is able to survive with that amount of parts...

Well, the fact that the 4 minute (in-game time) took about 30-40 minutes in real-time to do already tells something.

I estimate i had about 5-15 fps during my test flights. Don't know the exact amount since the in-game counter showed that i had 25 fps, it felt a lot worse than that.

So yea, for my computers specs, id say that the limit for me would be about 600 parts for it to still be playable.

For that reason i am planning o building the A-400M (45x42m in size) in the same style, should be a lot more reasonable in terms of its part count.

You lucky little cow. My computer only allows me 450 parts before I murder my graphics.

The funny thing is that the graphics card that i use is optimized for 3-D designing not for gaming.

But i feel you, it was only like 3 years ago when i still played with a laptop that couldn't even run KSP 60 fps. Not even with crafts under 200 parts.

And let's not forget my mini-laptop i used at school, it was more a slideshow than anything, it was still more interesting than listening to our teacher talk about  aerodynamics and wing profiles for 8 hours.

Good thing for pictures because I would not have believed that this flew!! Great work, love the interior and the graphics on the craft so creative!

You know, I'd actually like to try it.

I'd doubt it be obtainable for 1.1. The graphics might die less but still.

 

(Oh wow, this was 3 months ago.)

Once i get back home, i'll send you the craft file. It should work just fine, so long as the prosedural wings mod still works.

And here is the craft itself: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hjurj2fi1uhyh6l/Kerbonov KN-225.craft?dl=0

I haven't flown it once after those test flights, but as i said, it should still work just fine.

Wow, this looks really good! Can't imagine the parts though...
