A Jool 5 Mission without Struts

[JacobJHC]

Greetings Observers,

Today I present my second submission to the Jool 5 Challenge. I made the mission special by not using any struts what-so-ever. I used autostrut so I could enter it in the Autostrut Abuse Challenge. My original submission from the 1.1-ish era is also included if you want to watch it. The second mission is also the final field testing for my Grand Tour mission. Enjoy observer.

My Original Submission

My new submission:

Thanks you. If you have a suggestion for a new video I would love to hear it. Soon my Grand Tour will begin, and hopefully it is well received by the community.

Thanks. I had to reinstall after some kraken issues but I noticed that the autostrut option was gone. Did they remove it in a patch?

No clue.  I ain't been around for a while so don't really know what you're talking about.  The only autostruts I'm familiar with are those inside fairings.

They added an option to add a link that increases the joints between two parts whether it be the selected part to the root, grandparent or heaviest part. It does not add mass or cost and is slightly overpowered without the cost or weight additions. It removes the need for normal struts.
