And incantations. Lots of incantations. And possibly a blood sacrifice... @Delay lol ok I suppose I can clean some stuff up in the script and share it so anyone who might want can take a looksee Note that currently the script is not set up to even attempt to land the center core. I figure I should get the boosters to land before bothering with the core and its significantly higher separation velocity, which requires an entirely new addition to the script: an entry/braking burn.

Zeiss Ikon Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 25 minutes ago, Red Thought said: I cant get mods to work in this game, some thing always breaks and my save file gets corrupted. generally same bugs over and over, squad can fix them. I've got 100% stock science and career saves that were started in 1.2.2 and now run in 1.4.3. I also had trouble with mods not working the first time I set up RO, but I went back to @Bornholio's Golden Spreadsheet and installed in the order shown, and (aside from a few minor bugs like crewed missions setting records much higher/faster than the crew actually went) the game plays well. You have to install 1.3.1 for RO to work at present, but that's a step forward from 1.2.2, and if you bought the game from Squad/Take Two or Good Old Games, you should be able to download older versions at no additional cost (not sure how or if you'd do that with Steam, sorry).

Cavscout74 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Made a successful launch of the first crew cycler in this career. Due to the Duna window sneaking up on me, I decided to break one of my normal rules & put a 3-man crew on board for launch despite the lack of an escape system. Happily Kerbal Launch Failure decided not to kick in on this launch & everything made it to orbit that was supposed to. Morning launch over the ocean: Coasting to Ap after jettisoning the fairing & nosecone Safely in orbit. With the greenhouse & recycling, the crew should have snacks for nearly 5 years without resupply, and enough fuel for ~9300 m/s dV I also had my Vall relay & lander vehicle arrive in orbit: And just barely had time to put the lander on the surface: With all the science from the Vall probe I was able to unlock the rest of the aviation section of the tree, so my favorite rapier-powered spaceplanes will soon be operational.

Angelo Kerman Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I fixed a number of bugs in my plugins, and landed one of my Flapjack flying saucers. The re-entry effects in KSP 1.4.5 are looking good @SQUAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the Transmogrifier patch must buff the stats and sizes of stock parts to have performance closer to real life? That’s exactly right (with a little help from SMURFF). The idea is to blend the ease of stock rocket building with giant (real) size rockets. Glad you are enjoying it @cubinator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of getting back into RSS/RO after I finish some projects in stock. Not sure if I'll use Transmogifiier for my career game, but I'll definitely give the mod a whirl. Should be interesting to see what I can come up with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tw1 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Not in KSP, but ended up showing ksp videos in a meeting discussing my grad project with my professor. It almost felt weird, watching gaming videos in an architecture office, but not really given the nature of the project. Still, it's cool to think that the hours I spend in this game are now having an academic bonus effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qromodynmc Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I've been trying some odd looking designs in ksp last week, though i must say it was so exhausting that at the end i stopped most of them at %90 and enjoyed flight to space. Can you guess which planes are these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one is McDonnell "Moonbat" prototype interceptor. Second one is the Handley Page Victor strategic bomber. Third one is Curtiss-Wright Ascender prototype fighter. Fourth one's the Avro Vulcan strategic bomber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maceemiller Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 HAHAHAHA! What I did was fire up RSS in version 1.3.1 and after an hour I thought "nah...too hard using stock and FASA....I know! I'll install RO and all its dependent mods.." Let me put it like this...im back to stock!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mignear Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Nelbas Kerman was finally rescued by Mount Treacherous following the use of the 15/25 to land in the treacherous terrain there, with some careful flying the 10 ton plane was able to land. For takeoff it was a simple matter of engaging full engine power and immediately pitching up to get the light aircraft into the air as soon as possible. The damaged '32' on the left and the '15/25' on the right The flight home to the Dessert Airfield and the subsequent landing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvenFlow Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Finished work on a little cinematic showcasing my new 1:1 stock N1-L3 moon rocket replica. It still requires some detailing but the shape and overall functionality is there and it passed flight tests admirably. It's a part of a bigger project of mine currently unwinding on reddit but I'll elaborate on that when it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chel Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I had very little science left so I built a small rover rocket contraption to go around the KSC and collect science. Who knew that the flagpole gives you 12 science? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anoldtincan Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Still working on the comm network today. Night launches so no pictures. Only two more to go, but the network is pretty robust already - I was able to fly this guy on a Mun flyby: And it worked out such that with one more maneuver RO-1 should encounter Minmus, in about 20 days or so, and still have enough dV for disposal. I also worked on designing a long-haul survey aircraft, designated XKA-2 Ocelot: The first hiccup was part count - I had to strip communications, science, and telemetry equipment, and two pairs of control surfaces to get it to 30 parts. The stripped down experimental version is what Val took for a ride in the sim. My aim was an easy sailplane/flying wing style cruise aircraft, and although it flies easily and has long range, I was hoping for a higher max altitude for certain survey contracts. The Wheesley engines just don't have the oomph to get it above about 12,000 m, 6,000 m short of target. Once I can get some higher performance engines and upgrade the hangar for higher part count, I expect it to be useful for long-range biome science and survey contracts.
