[FAR] Is this a bug or really lucky engineering?

[xxjetterxx]

I don't know what I have made, or how I made it, but...

I made a plane that goes all the way up to mach 13, fast enough to fling it out past Jool. I may have accidentally made a new krakendrive, but it does not move when you stop, so I don't think that's it...

Anyways: Here's an Imgur album.

Let me know if you guys want the craft, and, if this can get to mach 13 (or similarly ridiculous speeds) on your end, too!

EDIT: I can't get the album to work, no matter what. Here: http://imgur.com/a/PIu6y#0

Image doesn't work for me

I tried to fix it, perhaps imgur is down. I added the link below.

very nice SSTJ (single stage to jool) , it must be a bug with FAR ... but a very cool bug

fixed it for you.

Also, that's a bug in FAR that allowed the turbojets to continue to accelerate as long as they had air, this has been fixed in the new experimental update.

Oh, thanks for telling me that ^.^

I think this thread has accomplished what it was intended for, so I guess I'll just let it die

That's... Impressive. Definitely a bug of some sort, but very interesting.

It's a typo in the config, the turbojet doesn't run out of thrust like it should with FAR installed; the fix is to go into the FAR config and change the curve so that the last "key" entry looks like this:

key = blah, blah, blah

As opposed to this:

@key,4 = blah, blah, blah

Second, this seems to be placed in the wrong forum, since it's not about a craft at all, but instead about a mod behavior; it's kind of messed up to hide it here, because if this actually was an unknown bug then I wouldn't have come across it except for the rare times that this thread appears in the most recent post section of the main forum page. You basically managed to place a bug report in the one place where it would only be seen by the mod author by sheer luck, making the odds of it getting fixed (if it weren't already known) very slim.

Yeah, sorry about that. I was posting it here since I was going to post the craft later on, but was verifying wether or not it's a bug, so I don't release and, then look like a maniac.
