Your design, Rune?

It prompted me to try make something similar in 1.1.2. Obligatory nighttime pics for this thread:

Craft file included.

 

Whoa. That is no small feat to do, in the new aerodynamic/engine model! Color me impressed, good sir. And yeah, it was my design, long long time ago. Back when you could have any kind of crazy idea, slap some jets and intakes to it, and take it to the skies. I actually did it to show off my 'new' (back then) ring-making skills. Way back before gizmos and stuff!

 

Rune. These days it's all about the engineering, and not the hammering of the UI into submission. Mostly.

Really great everybody! But yeah, you can of course post any picture if it's dark, doesn't have to be at night on kerbin :-)

The game bugged & lost the skybox, so this could be literally anywhere but you don't get any more at night than that.

I saw the thread title and expected to find a thread full of Aviation Lights users.  Not a single one lol.

Okay, thanks

I wonder when the album embedding is back :/

[Van Disaster]

Given the state of imgur, maybe never. I'd look at alternatives.

Still a WIP, working on reentry, it's been difficult with the Vectors, they weight so much!

Thanks to OPM and Distant Object Enhancement, there's actually 4 planets and 2 crafts visible in this shot (tip: one's in orbit )



And this was one of the fastest-circumnavigating planes on the KSP forum a couple of versions ago. Might still be for all I know.




And I guess this one's not strictly a plane, but with the dusk and everything, it just looks... *sigh*

Ahh, night time planes. Back in my B9 days, that's pretty much all i did, put some nice lights on and fly at night. Now tough, it's a bit more rear for me to fly at night time. mostly due to the lack of proper lightingin the stock game and due to me not wanting to download B9 just to get some nice light's that i will have to strip away anyway if i want to put them up for download as "Stock".

 

The two bottom ones represent that night flying mod using era of KSP.

 

To gather these shots, i went trough my entire Imgur album.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's about all of the ones that i taught where worth putting here.
