Zephram Kerman Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Thanks to a plugin still in development by r4m0n, I was able to take this video with a fixed viewpoint. I have wanted to do something like this forever!Oh that\'s cool. The videographers around here are going to love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubbazoot Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Closest I\'ve come to a successful night landing on the Mun. When the smoke cleared, the capsule was sitting daintily on the surface of the Mun. The explosion of the command module must have exactly offset the landing speed.That parachute ain\'t gonna do them much good...They are absurdly difficult to do. We need a landing light part.

OrionAurora Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 How much fuel do you have left when you land? If you don\'t expend all of it boosting back to a reentry on Kerbin than you can either cut out some fuel or add more payload to the rocket.I have about 2/5 of a single fuel tank for the six rockets plus a full small fuel tank in the center of the spacecraft.

If you wait till you\'re at about 3km (yeah, that low) before you start braking, it saves a ton of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpkwarrior Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 My first landing on minmus (no thanks to mechjeb\'s big red panic button) and the distance away from Kerbin overwhelmed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltesh Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 More fun with rotatrons edited to rotate freely. Introducing the Jebmobile.4-wheel drive. Top speed, 16.3 m/s. Range: 1km.Handles like a gold brick on wet ice.It spawns so many 'X was damaged by thrust from rockets' events in the end flight screen that trying to scroll through them will cause ridiculous levels of frame rate slowdown.

Hikaru Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) r4m0n\'s been busy. His camera plugin\'s not ready yet, but it\'s letting me take shots like this. There is *so much* this plugin will allow me to do once it\'s finished.... Edited August 6, 2012 by Kaufman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikaru Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) I threw another video together as you can see. Personally I\'m not sure which shot I like more, that of the landed ship cam on minmus that I posted earlier or this one.

flaillomanz Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hi everyone!As this is a screenshot thread, I thought I would link to my steam screenshot gallery, where all my KSP screenies are.Most have captions, and I add new ones every day or so. I\'ll probably put a banner version of this link system in my sig later on. (The picture is of my own creation, a 5 minute job so the URL wasn\'t so ugly :3)For those of you who do not trust imagelinks, here\'s the bare URL for copypasting:http://steamcommunity.com/id/flaillomanz/screenshots/?tab=public&showdate=1&filter=shortcut_39731(the shortcut_39731 is KSP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
