Flight to orbit with the fixed camera plugin

[Rascal Nag]

So, I just found out about r4m0n\'s fixed camera plugin yesterday (I\'m late, I know), and immediately had to try it out. Eventually, 'Trying it out' evolved into using it to record a video, using real launch audio to accompany it.

Kerbal Space Program - Flight to orbit

Brilliant plugin, r4m0n. Really opens up a ton of opportunities for filmmaking. Has anyone else used the plugin?

This is SO badass. I was going crazy trying to figure out how you got into orbit with no HUD. At the end, I saw you started to flip out of control on SECO. Then I realized you were using the mechjeb autopilot.

May I suggest that next time, however, you cut away the video for like two seconds just to quickly set your translatron to Pro Grade? Most orbiting ships don\'t flip out of control when they achieve orbit. Anyway, this video was AWESOME. Great work.

Thanks, glad you like it. I actually had done a test flight before this to see how mechjeb would work (this is the first time I used it, since I could not hope to get into orbit with these camera angles with no HUD), and I did consider making sure it was stable after it reached orbit, but decided against it so that the whole scene was visible at some point or another.

I\'m planning on making a video utilizing the fixed camera mod. I plan to crop the video to get the navball out of the way. Then again, maybe I should leave everything visible for people to learn from it.

Why not use MechJeb, Kosmo?

Why not use MechJeb, Kosmo?

I plan on using it for displaying orbital parameters and use the SMART A.S.S.

However, I don\'t want to sit back and watch MechJeb do everything from launch to landing. That wouldn\'t be much fun for me.

Just like Orbiter AP!

Orbiter needs Rad +/- on its AP.
