Probably because the rocket's out of the thick lower atmosphere by then, and so horizontal velocity becomes more and more important.

Is there any way I could raise the height of that to about 50km? would we be allowed to use custom mechjeb settings?

Custom MechJeb settings are fine, just make sure I know what to plug in. Not sure how to raise the height of the gravity turn, though. Probably better to ask around in the MechJeb thread. :)

I pressed post by accident, I meant with all the mods I need to download.

I'm in the process of updating the OP with links to each mod. And you don't need to download all of them, just the ones you need for your rocket/payload. 

If you do want to download all of them, you can use CKAN for nearly all of them. :wink:

I think the reason some of us find it complex is that we aren't familiar with some of the mods you are using.  I just downloaded Mechjeb and spent 3 hours trying to get mechjeb to achieve orbit with a rocket that I piloted to orbit just fine.  There are other mods like Kerbalism that I'm not familiar with, however I intend to read up on it.  I think the whole challenge might be simpler if it started stock, however that is simply my opinion and I'm happy to let you, the creator, dictate the terms of your idea.

I see what you mean. I, too, think that some of the mods are... in-depth, to say the least. I guess we're all in the same boat. :wink: 

The reason I included mods is because just stock feels really bland compared to everything you can get with addons. Mods would make it a richer experience, is what I thought. 

This project will remain modded for the foreseeable future. :)

Can you link me to this, and where do I sign up!

If you want to sign up to be an LP, just post the name of your space company here and you'll be added to the LP list! :) 

@53miner53 @Thor Wotansen @Brent Kerman

Could you please tell me the names of your launch companies, so I can add them to the OP? Thanks :)

Not quite sure what LP means but the name is Venturi Engineering Corp. :cool:

Cool, and I do get what you're saying about having more gameplay options with mods.  I guess personally I get more out of the engineering side of the game and I like the challenge that a full stock install brings to the table, but like I said, it's your baby so I'll go with what you decide.

My LP will be named Asgard Industries.  I will also be a PP.

And let the record state that I hate MechJeb.  :mad:

Arthur-1:

  • Expendable
  • Two stage
  • Upper stage to be called the Xarla-1.3A
  • Lower stage to be called the Xarla-1.1A

Arthur-2: 

  •  2 0.625m SRBs (called Splints) extra

Arthur-4:

  • 4 'Splints' extra

Arthur-1H:

  • Three Xarla-1.1A cores (centre with lower fuel consumption. I'm assuming asparagus/crossfeed is discouraged, though the F9H was originally planned to use it)

Xarla-1B:

  • Dual-Engine lower stage called the 1.1B
  • Mid stage added to be called the 1.2A

 

Question: Do payload fairings have to be fixed? Or are they edited for each payload? If you plan to use procedural fairings, be aware I am using stock fairings

They can be edited for each payload. Your rockets will be added to the OP when you provide a download link for them. :)

can someone create a kerbalism to stock conversion chart like thingy? I currently have 0 access to my mods (I may/may not have broke them all :blush:) and I also do not like kerbalism that much (tooo hard even for me) but I really want to join this, and I don't know how to build a good stock payload (or launcher for that matter) that wont kill any Kerbals onboard once it gets put into a kerbalism save.

Also, name of my company will be NSS (nascar space service).

 

I also have 1 more question I just thought of. Can I be in charge of both a PP and a LP? Maybe even launch some of my own payloads using my own launchers to save money?

Well, l can't provide that info, but ask around on the kerbalism thread. They might be able to help. :)
