Daze Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi guys, i'm trying the Ferram Aerospace Research but i can't find how much dV is needed to LKO while using FAR, someone can explain this to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payload Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 How long is a piece of string? Seriously, there is no answer to that question. It all depends on how your craft is built. From what I have heard, FAR actually makes is slightly easier to attain orbit if you do everything right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daze Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 If without FAR ANY vessels need at least 4200-4500 dV how much dV i need with FAR (nosecone on top bla bla bla) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endangerment Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think the point payload is making is that with FAR it depends much more on your ship, specifically the drag your ship has. If your design is aerodynamically horrible it might be more, if it is a smooth shape it might be a lot less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric S Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 My testing in FAR was reaching orbit in the 3200-3500 delta-V if I remember correctly. Quite a bit less than without it. Mind you, even after trying to make things aerodynamic, a few of my monstrosities were still taking 4200 delta-V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
