Nuclear engine question

[Red Iron Crown]

Most of the community wanted the barns and didn't care that they were bad it was bac9 that made them reconsider

Unless you have some sort of insight into Squad's internal decision making I don't know how you can say that authoritatively. And bac9 *is* a community member, so...

At any rate, we've derailed this discussion far enough from the original topic. Let's return to the topic at hand.

Well i just started playing KSP (~month ago, and never heard about it before, somehow saw video on YT and bought it), and i didnt regret, the game is absolutely great!

Kerbals own space program, the idea is ingenious and very interesting.

The thing that you start on small planet similar to Earth also add much interest.

But of course i like every other science geek will ask "how the hell can nuclear engine use LF/OX"? ))

I dont think it is large issue, but this game goes in category "simulators", and should aim for realism.

Also more serious issue that is driving me mad is Aerodynamics, i think that should be fixed asap

why canyt you just edit the cfg yourself

Im not familiar with it, is there some guide?

Ok, how about we just say it is a LANTR rocket, and call it a day?

Of course... its thrust is too low for a LANTR rocket, and its ISP is too high... but still they exist*

*well, designs and concepts for them exist

Not that hard.

1) go into your ksp install

2) go into the gamedata folder

3) go into the squad folder

4) go into the parts folder

5) go into the engines folder

6) go into the folder liquidEngineLV-N

7) open the file with the file liquidEngineLV-N.cfg

8) open it with notepad

9) scroll down till you see these lines;

PROPELLANT

{

name = Oxidizer

ratio = 1.1

}

10) delete those 5 lines.

11) save.

If you want to edit he ISP then edit this line here;

atmospherecurve

{

key = 0 800

key = 1 220

}

To increase ISP in space edit the line that says 800, change it to anything above 800

To decrease ISP in space lower the 800

To increase atmosphere ISP increase 220

To decrease atmosphere ISP decrease 220.

Hope this helps

Thanks i got it, another question, do i need to relaunch KSP every time i change config? Or there is some way to load new cfg ingame?
