I found myself doing this accidentally before I knew how to get into orbit. My personal record is 40.6G, but I don\'t have a screenshot. I just go straight up with as much velocity as possible and then retro just enough I don\'t escape the planet.

41 G :o

How can I attach a screenshot?

Attachments have been disabled temporarily. If you want to get the image on here, you can upload it to a picture hosting service (tinypic, imagur, etc.) and get the direct link. Take that link, and enclose it within these tags: %7Boption%7D (press the little Mona Lisa next to the hyperlink button above the posting box), and spoiler it with the nuclear button.

Also, I find the Jeb Challenge\'s rule that at least one must survive a bit misleading, because in game, either none die or they all do.

I´m not sure. I remember that only 1 of my crew survived, when I had some older version. Thanks for your report. I\'ll try to discover the truth :)

Thinine: This score is for Bill, Bob or Jeb Challenge?

infatuatedPP: Awesome! ;D

This is my entry for the billy challange, this was done in 13.2, but the physics is still the same.

This is my ship.

Me getting a good run up.

Intial speed just before atmosphere. Yes, it is over 9000!

After the worst of the gee force.

And safe landing.

By using v=u+at where, v=final velocity, u= intial velocity, t=time and a=acceleration. i calculate an averege acceleration of 846.8 m/s^-2.

Jarnis: Show us your new force, master Yoda :)

Evilchicken: Oh, what a flight! Last thing we need is your Flight Results screen to find out the exact value of your Gee Force ;)

I don\'t have the flight results I ended the flight before taking the picture, the calculated value of aceleration will be lower than the peak acceleration and you can check the numders by using screenshots 3 and 4, so all thinks consider I guess its fair.

Evilchicken: Pictures don\'t show Gee Force value we need :(. Personally, I don\'t have calculator for this. Thanks for understanding. But I\'m sure you are able to make it again and with better results ;D.

I wasn\'t getting the best values from the flight result with a straight down flight, so I modified the flight path to increase deccelertaion time.

New flight path.

Flight results. still not quiet the values I would have calculated.

And they survived :)! Just tell us - was that Bill, Bob or Jeb Challenge? If you don\'t know, look at the first post of our topic with all specifications and rules. Good job :thumbup:

For the Jeb competition, do you -have- to land on the mun, or is it optional?

If it\'s optional, I\'m fairly certain that this .cfg mod wins by default. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=8069.0

(accelerates the pod from 0ms to ~5.56 × 10^10 times the speed of light in one physics tick, even if it doesn\'t show \'most gee force\')
