Wouldn't it be better to see the actual max G Force induced through the F3 flight log?

[RocketTurtle]

No, it's inaccurate.

I don't understand how to get so high g-force than you have. I made my attempt with parachutes - only 24.12 g

I have strong doubts about accuracy of the accelerometer's readings.

2800 G is about 28,000 m/s2, i.e. getting from 28 km/s to complete stop during one second. I have hard time believing that it's what is happening in the above image.

He said infinite fuel is ok, meaning he could have gone wayyy up above Kerbin, with just a Mainsal and the accelerometer, then burnt straight down. I've come at Kerbin over 100 km/s before.

Just tried this tactic and I achieved more than 1000 G force and it dropped to about 330 G before I even managed to take a screenshot.

So yes when you are coming straight towards kerbit with about 130000 m/s and the athmosphere manages to slow you down to about 1000 m/s before crashing into ground I would say such G forces are achievable but not easy without Infinite fuel cheat.

Hello All,

I used the Accelerometer as the Flight Log didn't update enough to read it.

Also with the accuracy, I was travelling at 30Km/s when I hit the Kerbin Atmosphere thus nearly 30g.

thus nearly 30g.

30g is different from 3000g right?

[FirstSecondThird]

I made one that got to 1010.67453234 (meaning 10.2 Gs), and I was doing the landing without parachutes, so unfortunately, 2 kerbals died.

I don't have pictures because the game crashed when I landed and the screenshot was corrupted, along with the save game.

Misleading info.

Does it have to be while re-entering Kerbin? Can't it be while reentering Jool?

I ask because I once did a physics-warp-only infinite fuel flight to Jool and reach 0.05*C on arrival, I then bounced and reached an absurd speed of about a parsec a minute. (>500 Terameters/second). Surely this occurred in a very brief period, theoretically, it can't have taken over one frame or the bouncing would've been realistic, and because most of the time, I would bury myself hundreds of km inside the planet one frame in.

So that produces an acceleration of something like 1 LY/s^2

I made this out of massless parts, decoupled it from a probe body and then activated infinite fuel. I'm surprised the Kraken didn't show up.
