supertoaster98 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I stayed up last night and made a tutorial which i think will help out people quite a lot. It covers the basics of spaceflight, how to perform rendezvous and docking (shoving the nose of the spacecraft into a used engine nozzle) as well as how to perform a orbital transfer and how to get back home. Enjoy ;Dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DeMjae4EmMpart 1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlWyPAmNXfkpart 2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNjSxo4AAGApart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Ivanovich Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 IMO you bank a bit too early, resulting in a lot of time in the lower, denser atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertoaster98 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 when do you think i should bank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Depends highly on the rocket. Usually I start at about 15,000 Meters, reaching 45 degrees inclination at around 35,000 so I cross that dense atmosphere in as little time as possible while still gaining a little lateral momentum. When I have some time I should probably start calculating the perfect values (including speed).I don\'t have hard facts to support it yet, but it seems so far the best approach is to go vertical for a considerable amount of time and keep the apogee close to the rocket for most of the ascent, only pushing it forwards when you are about to reach the 60,000 meters.

supertoaster98 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ok. I have been using this method for quite some time and has been working fairly well, i´m not saying that yours sucks but what works works i suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
