Eve - Venus - Does anyone have a mod that can do this?

[Kurtvw]

This is a wicked cool approach to dealing with venus. I don't suppose anyone knows a mod that would make something like this possible in KSP? Or maybe you have the skill to make this mod?

[Bill Phil]

Isn't there an airship mod by Hooligan labs?

[Rolanvorxariat]

hooligan labs only has inflatable "parachutes"

at 1:17 of the video I started looking for the bowl of petunias.

If you want the real planets, the RSS mod has those.

Add-on question? Why not ask it in the luxurious Add-on Affairs subforum? (Moved.)

[Kurtvw]

Thanks Vanamonde.. moving it to a board that like 1 in 30 people read is always helpful...

There's two mods I know of for airships so you can float: Professor Phineas Kerbenstein's wonderous vertical propulsion emporium or Hooligan Labs.

In the FAQ for Hooligan labs:

How do I save my ship in midflight?

We suggest that you try looking into the KAS mod for its anchors and grappling hooks.

Basically you'd tether your floating ship to the ground, which will then count it as "landed" so it doesn't get deleted.

This of course means your ship will have to be within 2.4 km of the surface (the "surface" can be the top of a mountain), unless you extend the physics range. Lazor System can extend the physics range.

Thanks Hab!

Others have mentioned Hooligan Labs, and I want to be clear that static envelopes are not the only game in town -- the inflatable Ray has enough lift to haul a sizeable vessel (as can be seen with my Sky Princess entry in the Biome Hopper challenge), and the deployable Cirrus has the most lift of any envelope.

I have also been working on recreating this mission concept in KSP...

Thats a cool mission concept! Never knew about that!
