Kerbal Express Airlines - Regional Jet Challenge (Reboot Continued)

[TheFlyingKerman]

The CEO of Kerbus decides Kerbals need a better way of boarding airliners. A few days later the engineers came up with this highly advanced and practical ladder cart.

Its height is adjustable by changing the authority of the control surfaces.

Even better Kerbus is doing a promotion. You get one of these (each costing 4266000) for ordering every 15 K-380-400 jumbo jets.

Isn't 4.27 (rounded) million a little too... much for airstairs? I mean I understand the rule of Craft Price x 1000, but still. I would like to disagree in this one particular instance. Seems like it should be 426,600. (Craft x 100)

But that's just my opinion.

Here, have a P4120 for listening to my rant: https://kerbalx.com/PhaseSpaceAdministration/Phase-Aviation-P-4-120

Copy it, fiddle with it, reverse engineer it, idc. Just give credit if you make something out of it.

4.26 million

 

For stairs.

 

Totally reasonable.

(Passengers in Jumbo jets, 200 used to be large! Then I stepped up large to 384, 864, somebody made a 1152 and I beat them much later with 1488, then a few months later @neistridlar comes along with a 2592 (I think, it's about that))

I did even more with 7,624 passengers. I mean, it didn't qualify, but still.

 

Anyway, I'm submitting a craft to haul baggage and some loads that are just too big for the cargo compartments on other craft.

No picture due to BSOD, but it's small. Just a single- Oh, whatever, just read the description. It says what it has. Unfortunately, it only has 1,200 units of fuel, so it probably won't go too far. I'll make a larger one later.

7,624!? What are you trying to do, evacuate a city!?

[Kebab Kerman]

@kingstevenrules I wasn't thinking and... Yeah, that happened. I haven't tested if it flies due to it's 411 parts. Slows down my game because of RAM limits and mod count.

[kingstevenrules]

Oof. I'm sure my computer would BSOD from attempting to load it.

Sad part is, I have modded parts, but I never use them.

[TheTripleAce3]

tfw you have a massive seaplane that goes 1100m/s but realize that it won't get a good comfort rating for its passenger load

 

Massive compared to my other seaplanes at least.

On the topic of stairs I think yeah, 1000x price is too much. I still think they should be in the hundreds of thousands, so maybe x100.

[kingstevenrules]

Yeah, 100x seems more reasonable and realistic. Yay!

Welp been waiting two months for a review of my Lark.

Patience, good sir. There's people who have been waiting even longer than that. ;)

What with all of my IRL work, it's seeming harder and harder to play games. Heck.

THE KRAKENTECH AKP- 10 JUMBO JET!

This little (haha, yeah right) plane is our flagship and pinnacle of design.

Specifications: 

Passenger Capacity: 240 (10 Mk3 passenger Cabins) plus three pilots.

Cost: 480,853,000 

Takeoff speed: 42 If you can pilot 

Part Count: 178

Fuel: 19375 

Range will be in soon, haven't had time to test it yet. (I fly the aircraft at the farthest it will go to find the range instead of doing the math)

Yes, we FINALLY got around to doing it.

Download link please.

@CrazyJebGuy It is re-posted on the first page of this thread, with the link.

I've been working on stairs. Got a design that seems to do well, but I'm not satisfied with it.

I didn't start it, but if others are doing it, I don't see why I shouldn't join in.

[kingstevenrules]

Hmm don't mind me if I make an attempt at air stairs.

[Mathrilord]

Is kerbal joint reinforcement allowed?

[kingstevenrules]

Not 100% sure, but I'd say yes. @CrazyJebGuy what's your say?

In the abscence of KJR, with Editor Extensions Redux, there is a toggle for 'all rigid', which is a fairly workable solution (for most cases indistinguishable to the effects of KJR) and does not require installing other mods for anyone that downloads the plane.
