Some images from my more recent missions:

I've flown six missions to the Mun and Minmus and numerous missions to Kerbin orbit. The X-20 is retiring soon in my game...

 

 

 

 

How did you get such a beautiful Kerbin, and also a complex KSC?

JNSQ for Kerbin

KSC revisions are my own, but I used: Tundra's Space Center, Omega' Stock-Allike Structures, and Kerbinside Remastered, all of which require Kerbal Konstructs to setup and run.

We seriously need more modular spaceplane systems like this.

Heading to orbit!

I respectfully disagree . I find it frustratingly difficult to build modular spaceplanes , mods like SOCK with a good balance between modularity and ease of assembly are much better .

[DaveyJ576]

I am using MechJeb 2 to guide me in. I am a crappy pilot! I need some suggestions for the settings to guide in the Dynasoar. I would assume I need a steep angle of attack in order to maintain speed and controllability. What is the stall speed and do you have a recommended landing speed?

 

Thanks!

do you need any mod to run this

No.

However, it is optimised for Bluedog Design Bureau's Titan, and it's recommended to use it.

i had to land after a failed launch and the skids exploded

Depend on the speed you landed it, but still keep in mind that those skid don't use the KSP wheels system, ( maybe a little hard to understand if you are not modder) but so... they are just animated part, with a collider with hight resistance to impact... and so... you really need a flat surface to land it, even the runway have some collider on the ground that make it jump in the sky or explode.

Dyna-Soar X-20

Overshoot a little.

[jimmymcgoochie]

I just realised that this could be a nifty little addition to RO/RP-1, given the history of the real thing. Maybe I could find someone to do that job, or try to learn the dark magic of RO/RP-1 configurations and do it myself.

If anyone happens to have done that already, please share!

[Well]

look fine in 1.12.0 from my test

[rougeaux]

I'll just leave this here:

Spoiler

(It's a KSP flag I cooked up based heavily on this comically-oversized patch owned by Neil Armstrong that went up for auction back in 2019.  512x320px, transparent PNG, just save it and drop it in Gamedata/Squad/Flags or wherever.)

Hey, can someone give me installation instructions and what version of KSP this is for? I installed it unzipped and everything and it won't show up. I am using 1.12

You need to unzip and then copy the content of GameData (folder X-20-Moroz) into your GameData, like every other mod. The folder structure is predetermined in the download. GameData\Mod.
Note: Some Mods have dependencies you need to install. ModuleManager is needed for nearly all mods.
The KSP version can be found in the title of this thread (1.12.0) but it works in 1.12.3 too.

Downloaded the mod and started loading the game, it seems to be loading when I look at the loading bar when it says what it is currently loading. Went into my game and there is nothing.  Any ideas? Currently have the game data of X-20 mod (Not the overall download from github) but the gamedata inside of the mod, then replaced that into my KSP gamedata folder.

Fixed it, it was still installed wrong

Holy shoopadoop this is cool!

Craft file doesn't load.

It does for me, I checked just now. 

If you want actual help, you'll need to provide more info. What does KSP show in the VAB when you try to open the craft file? An uncropped image of your screen in the VAB when you've tried to open the craft file would be helpful. Or your ksp.log. Or even just explain why you think it doesn't load? You've literally given zero information.

Well, I just click on the 'Load' button and it does nothing. It happens for other crafts too, and I have no idea why it happens. I'm about to head to bed so I'll send a log tommorow

ah ok, interesting. are you able to grab the parts individually from the parts tray? if that causes problems too, I would guess you're missing a dependency or something is out of date. but yeah if you get a chance to post a link to your log like on google drive or something, someone should be able to spot if there's anything obvious going on.  hopefully we can help get you fixed up bc this is a super cool mod
