Cloakedwand72 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Will the delta V and atmospheric values remain the same for KSP2 with the stock solar system? Also will the bellyflop maneuver be better produced in the sequel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be some slight deviance, but shouldn't be more than probably a few dozen Dv. As for bellyflop maneuver, we don't know, since we don't know anything about the aerodynamics at this point, at least afaik. It could be the same as KSP 1 or they could have improved it to be more like FAR. Edited November 20, 2022 by GoldForest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're mentioning that like it's an official feature. Also, iirc it was said that robotic parts weren't returning, so you couldn't do a SpaceX-style belly flop if you wanted to.

You don't need robotics for a belly flop, just the airbrakes and a deploy limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, have you tested the use of airbrakes for a bellyflop landing? Edited November 20, 2022 by intelliCom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago, don't remember the results, but airbrakes and robotic hinged wings would serve the same exact purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
