Kerbal Space Program Jebruary Edition

[Snek]

Just got this game. I'm pretty amazed at the stability of the basic pontoon layout spaceplane, it's incredibly smooth.

Now leave it up there and launch another to RV with it.

First I think of is graphics drivers, make sure they're updated.

Also every other driver.

Need.... EYEBROWS

How do I get my solar arrays to collect sun and refuel my ship? They already follow the sun, but I don't seem to generate any fuel. Do I just attach them to the fuel tank? Because that doesn't seem to work.

The same way they generate rocket fuel from electrical energy in real life.

If you're talking about Kosmos, they don't do anything. They're there for looks.

Radiators on the other hand take heat off your ship and direct it out themselves, and they have a very high tolerance for heat compared to your very important solid boosters.

I didn't think it made any sense either, but it would be cool to make a space station with unlimited rcs fuel..

But I wanted the solar panels to have a function.. :(

[krail]

Ages ago, before plugins, there was a set of parts including lander legs and solar panels. The solar panels functioned simply as engines that had negative fuel consumption, so when you turn them on they fill your tanks.

Perhaps you could replicate that by editing the .gfcs for the solar panels v:v:v

That could be the reason I had the impression that solar panels recharged fuel in KSP.

Captain Slug is amazing at making nerf gunses. He made those parts I think.

Holy shit, nerf guns in KSP?

[bobsmit]

There are a few mods for electrical power that provides fuel. One of the first plugins released was a battery mod.

Not what I meant. He is a big famous pneumatic nerf gun hero in the nerf communities, and he made some ksp parts. I'm sure, if you ask him he'd make some though.

[Awesomecaek]

Ey guys i heard you like spacevessels, I have figured I might get into this thread a bit, too.

You easily raised my hopes and then violently dashed them.

Bravo.

[cpt.armadillo]

Bub just ask him.

Can someone who knows about modelling parts help me out? I can't seem to get the scale on my new wing part to change. It's gigantic, and neither the cfg scale, my 3ds Max units settings, nor the Collada export will shrink it at all.

After a small discussion on steam with LooperNor about Dragon and how two of it could make an excellent interstellar vehicle (Won't go into detail on this) I made this:

After failure with getting somewhere we started falling back to kerbin:

With a painful deceleration of 25G, our Kerbalnauts find themselves slowly descending down into the ocean at about 15 m/s:

We lost half the rocket in splashdown but the crew pod is intact!

Oh, you probably got those from his twitter so you probably know why he was wearing it.

Mark Zuckerburg is a massive faggot compared to musk

you are just jealous that he quenched the whitie yellow fever.

as for why elon dressed like a highschool emo it said something about a party and that book women will not shut up about. so now i will read this article and think better of him.

I wikied this book title... seems more like a book a guy would like as compared to a chick.. whats the deal with that... oh.. it is related to that twilight shit... I get it now.

anyway. back to mech jeb!

Oh god that looks awesome. I hope they post test dates for the Grasshopper. Debating whether or not it would be worth driving up and checking out. Though I don't know if they allow visitors/observers for that sort of thing. Might wait for a test or two down the road.

[DireAvenger]

Wow you guys sure are lucky actually having a space program

Australia could launch a fucking shitload of rockets from our desert but nooooooo we gotta dick about and [b]BE A FUCKING USELESS COUNTRY.[/b]
