Tapeta Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 In KSP1 I had contract to bring one tourist to orbit and safely back. Today in KSP2 I recreated vessel I've used to fulfill that contract.

Scarecrow71 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Once again, I attempted a Duna landing with an unmanned probe. Due to the fuel leakage glitch, I put the Wombat landing kegs on a small panel...which didn't work. By the time I decoupled in Duna orbit, my lander stage had only 500 dV remaining. Tomorrow...back to the drawing board! Edited March 14, 2023 by Scarecrow71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheehaw Kerman Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Had an entertaining Eve mission failure: parachute failed, lander lithobroke. Eve is much better-looking than it was in KSP1 and the music is nice. I also smacked a Minmus Challenge lander and river into a mountain while timewarping. P.A.I.G.E. called that “problematic”. Minmus is also much better-looking and better-sounding Is it just me or are the mountains of Minmus taller than in KSP1? I’m beginning to get used to the Maneuver Plans and burn timer. They’ll be great once fully developed. No bugs encountered aside from the in-SOI trajectories being invisible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is due to how fast I'm traveling...but I thought atmospheric events were turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atmospheric drag is still in place - so parachutes *do* work, but they also get ripped off by the same effect if you're moving too fast when they are deployed. I believe it's just heating from atmo effects (friction) that's currently not enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocoscacao Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Oddly enough, no one tried something like this. I had to use Lazy Orbits of course, just wanted to see how orbital colonies might look like. It barely remained together, even with cheats...

Just thermal effects AFAIK. 3 hours ago, Scarecrow71 said: I fire the chutes, and they disappear This sounds like it could be aero forces destroying them. The flight log may tell you what is happening I think the part manager tab for the 'chutes shows whether it's safe to deploy. For safe deployment the 'chutes require your velocity to be low enough that they can tolerate the aerodynamic forces. I circularized my orbit around Duna before attempting landing in order to reduce the velocity my craft has when entering the atmosphere and to decide where I land. If you lack the dV to circularize, then you may have issues. I don't know if it's possible to aerocapture at Duna but if it is then it might be very finicky requiring numerous passes through the atmo at periapsis, each one bringing down the apo a little bit. Otherwise, I guess the solution is to find a way around the fuel leakage bug or pack a bunch more fuel to begin with. On the topic at hand, I landed a probe on Eve yesterday. It landed on the engine bell. In the dark. Happy landings! (eventually) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow71 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Ok, so I'm still working on landing on Duna and getting back as part of the Duna Mastery challenge. I did this in Kerpollo with a crewed lander, and this time I only need an uncrewed lander. How hard can this be? Impossible, I tell thee! Built a ship that should have been more than enough, only to get to the surface with but a miniscule amount of dV remaining! Asparagus staging, you say? Nay, I say! Tis a myth in KSP2!

The smaller challenges are great for those who are bug averse or can't run ships with 100+ parts. Anywho, fastest under the Bridge- 330 m/s submission And a snap of a "close call" on my 4th pass (first pass in video) Edited March 15, 2023 by Socraticat First not second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regex Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Took a journey to the west. Driving Kerbin can be a real chore what with the terrain bugs (you can get a sense of how many times this thing's been launched into the air) but man is it pretty...

Periple Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I found a bug for infinite fuel! I just transferred methane and oxidizer between tanks. It got added to one tank but not fully subtracted from the other. After doing this a few times I had full tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socraticat Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Someone commented that my Biplane Shuttle design was comical. Maybe. I think they're super for weight balance in zero gravity and reducing horizontal footprint. Then I thought to myself. Comical would be as big as they could be made... and realized nothing was stopping me from trying. I present the "Oversized Biplane Experiment" Edited March 15, 2023 by Socraticat Phrasing?

modus Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Downloaded patch, build small mun craft, launch button in VAB did ...nothing. Back to main menu and reload, then had, by far, the smoothest and most fun experience in KSP2 since launch. Still some lumpies and bumpies, but imo it's already so so much better.
