The two probably don't correlate, although helicopter parts would be able to use the helipad quite well as in KSP 1. Don't bother me with your facts!

Luriss Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Towards the end of the video it actually looks like there's a river going through the KSC. Then again maybe it's just a canal of some sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldForest Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) A few things I noted about the video: Firstly, the frame rate seems to be smooth. Kind of hard to tell with all the jump cuts, but to me it looks very much smooth. Secondly, I noticed that the parts, at least the winglets, give off those aerodynamic lines that you'll see high speed jets made when they make a high-G turn... er... what are they called... *Googles* Water vapor... hmm... military calls them 'vape' trails. I guess they're just mini contrails? Anyway, yeah. I noticed 'vape' trails on the star as it was spinning out of control. A very nice little detail. If it's only the winglets, would be nice if other parts could do it too, like the fuel tanks that jut out at the star points. Thirdly, there's a freakin pool with diving boards it looks like! Next to the tall cylindrical building at the end of the video. Kerbal Olympics Program confirmed! Edited December 22, 2022 by GoldForest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful: Captain @t_vKilljoy inbound with KSP facts proving (and destroying your hopes) that the pool is not for KSP2 Olympic Kerbal Team but instead the already existing Kerbal Morale, Welfare and Recreation facility for the families of Kerbonauts stranded in various orbits by a cruel and uncaring Player-God who flings them willy-nilly about the Kerbolar System.

Guys it's clearly not Olympic size. Based on typical lane widths I estimate the roadways to be at most 10m wide and the pool no more than 15m long, well under the 50m regulation length. This lack of realism clearly means the game will be delayed until 2035. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakenred65 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Also thoes objects near the pool may not be diving boards, but may be krane er cranes, and those may be neutral buoyancy training pools, as the real life ones in use now look more like warehouses from the outside. I believe the first one at Marshal was outside at first then covered or rebuilt, and there’s photos I’ve seen of some Gemini astronauts being suited up at an outdoor pool, but I’m not sure where. Besides it’s not only practical that there’s a pool, but mildly amusing. Edited December 22, 2022 by [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that confirmed delay is only to 2030.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it's actually frustrating that the Communication Team is doing this. @Ghostii_Space Would be nice if you imbed the videos for us in a forum thread. Not everyone here is under 35.

Someone isn't feeling the Christmas Spirit! I don't know about you... But where I live it's beginning to look a lot like global warming is actually climate is not weather and local variations like bomb cyclones are natural part of the cycle Christmas!

Truth is that I'm not at all interested in being on social media - which is a 'me' thing. But I do think it is valid to ask the devs to put media about the game in the place where people who are interested in the game don't have to go to another site to try and find it. @Ghostii_Space can very easily start a thread that collects and imbeds these shorts so those of us here can find them. As is it seems they are released into the wild on either Tik-Spy or Facestealyourinfogram and we have to hope someone else links it. Why not the communications person? Release wherever and imbed in a forum post. Hype activated. Edited December 23, 2022 by JoeSchmuckatelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen anything like this in my life, even on airfields there is no such jungle! I guess so it doesn't look so barren? The terrain lacks small hills/culverts/etc , and the textures aren't exactly high-fidelity, so this conceals the flat and featureless areas around the KSC and prevents people pointing out the flat/featureless KSC terrain and low-VRAM usage textures. Just a guess, though. Maybe the trees will be able to catch on fire... It would be more Kerbal this way. Edited December 24, 2022 by TLTay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
