In KSP2, players learn basic flight concepts in a virtual simulator that can be accessed anytime the game is paused.

I hope the game will feature some sort of Aerodynamics simulation/testing as well as gravity/atmospheric simulation in the VAB so that we test our vehicles before committing to sending them!

The simulation for certain planets can only be unlocked once you collect enough data about it. That'd be amazing!

ayy nice

[BekfastDerp13]

KSP 2 is going to be amazing!

[Defenestrator47]

I like the shading.  Also the look at the KSC is...gorgeous.  I cannot wait to plant some heavy loads on that launchpad and thrust.  Mmmmf.

 

(okay I'm done but damn, nice work guys)

[MechBFP]

My only complaint is the video was too short.

Some notes on the staging interface:

1. Radial and linear decouplers have different symbols.

2. So do srbs and regular engines.

Thanks for the update (video as well as the HUD explanation).

I feel a bit dumb now posting a video in which I negatively remark that we haven't seen any real gameplay since the announcement 2 years ago. Here's to hoping there will be more soon

Why you gotta hit the bell in order to get the videos to up to date (might be suggesting to people to sub to shadowzone)

Changed the phrase to make it sound more what it meant

[Dr. Kerbal]

God we got actul gameplay!

[KawaiiLucy]

Does this mean that... we're getting launch towers as well?

[Dr. Kerbal]

The pieces and scraps of the rocket will bounce off the surface at release right?

[Kapitalizing Every Word]

This is amazing what a great work you are doing  
I so hardly want to play KSP2

As far as I know, it's integrated into the launchpad, think less modular launch pads, more kerbal konstructs.

Aw man, I was actually in love with the new navball arrangement you guys had set up. I even play KSP 1 with my navball scooched all the way to the left next to my orbital info window, though I do seem to be in the minority on liking it that way. The navball is at least staying on the left side of the screen, right?  I'm looking forward to hearing about whatever changes have been made.

Navball is staying at lower left corner for people who want it there, but we're making sure that a navball-center variant also looks and feels good.

Your video's great! I'm looking forward to the day (not too long from now) when we get to let the footage do the talking for us.

@Nate Simpson,

Is mod support still on the menu for KSP2? I haven't seen it mentioned recently.

Yep, that's still a very high priority for us.

I just hope the KSC is as customisable as the colonies... @Nate Simpson? For bigger vehicles I want to be able to expand the pad and remove the tower - it was semi-removed from KSP 1 for a reason

Welcome to the forums, i think we've had some footage but very pre-alpha.

Just wondering @Nate Simpson, will there be a mouse-over text option for UI elements? because while old players may know what each thing means, newer players would likely not see the atmosphere gauge for instance, and having it being identified if you hover over the UI would be nice. Also, I'm with 1 other person in thinking that altitude should be more easily visible, with its own spot on the screen. 

[Nirgal]

Give us a cheeky release date will you boss?

Please not 16 more months.. please not 16 more months..

 

This looks amazing, I agree with the idea of having a 'simulation' type of flight, where we can alter the atmosphere, gravity etc. based on discovered information of planets.

yoooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Actual gameplay!

[SOXBLOX]

UUOUU! Absolutely glorious! I can't wait to play this game! The graphics are like an art form! Every vista and image is beautiful.

I love how much you guys are putting into this!
