[QUOTE=LarparNar;31589090]0.9 Experimental is so unstable. [editline]7th August 2011[/editline] And no sorry, I can't make a 1680x1050 version because I can't run my game in a big enough resolution to fit it into a 1680x1050 image.[/QUOTE] maybe could you stretch it out a bit (and maybe save in PNG, but I don't know jack shit so maybe it won't affect anything at all)

I can't upsize it without making it blurry as shit.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;31589381]I can't upsize it without making it blurry as shit.[/QUOTE] okay :(, we need a screenshot function like some games have, like minecraft.

[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;31556220]I have been at the same speed for an hour and a half. I ran out of fuel at the 30 minute mark. I have stayed at constant velocity for a while, suggesting no resistance, simply put perpetual motion. I don't want to argue though. I can say that I wonder what is going to happen at 999999.[/QUOTE] No, you're a fucking idiot, perpetual motion is when you're putting in as much effort or less than you generate with a system. I.E a perpetual engine uses a system of weights to continue movement that generates enough energy to continue the circuit of motion and generate excess energy.

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);31589429]okay :(, we need a screenshot function like some games have, like minecraft.[/QUOTE] F1, but it saves it at the same resolution as you're playing, and I can't run it high enough to get a usable 1680x1050 image. If only I had Photoshop CSI edition :(

Does 0.9 in include writing "Liftoff!" at the start of the event log? [editline]two hours and five seconds ago[/editline] [QUOTE=LarparNar;31589090]0.9 Experimental is so unstable.[/QUOTE] That's why I never download experimental versions of games, they are usually really buggy.

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);31591374] spot the problem[/QUOTE] 0 throttle?

Overthrusting and zero throttle.

yep, evrything was tweaking out before launcing, G force was below the bar, and pitch, roll and yaw all went from left to right while I didn't do anything. Probably had to do with the game calculating stuff for so much parts and struts, I also had a lot of lag. [editline]7th August 2011[/editline] picture 3 and 4: they all laugh 5th: they all scream :v:

in total there are 64 engines on it 42 solids and 22 liquids. [editline]7th August 2011[/editline] fun fact: removing a solid booster from the bottom barely affects the rocket, you can still fly as before (just a bit slower)

Is there a repo for all those awesome addons you guys have?

I have no trouble getting my guys into orbit. Getting them back is a completely different story though. I think my orbit is really elliptical so it makes me go waaay out to 400,000 M and come back, at least I hope they come back. Used the rest of my ion thruster trying to get them back on the ground to no avail.

I use the liquid rocket to retro and when out of fuel, activate around 8-12 parachutes.

How does one use the orbital data in OP? Lets say I want to use 100 km, Vcirc = 2245.64 m/s, Vesc = 3175.81 m/s.

[QUOTE=EagleEye;31596858]How does one use the orbital data in OP? Lets say I want to use 100 km, Vcirc = 2245.64 m/s, Vesc = 3175.81 m/s.[/QUOTE] It means that if you are at 100 km going 3175.81 m/s, you have enough velocity to continue forever without getting pulled back. If you are going exactly 2245.64 m/s horizontally and 0 m/s vertically, you will maintain a perfect orbit forever. [editline]a[/editline] I'm pretty sure.

[editline]8th August 2011[/editline] Uhm. I'm in an orbit this calculator tells me has an orbital period of 580 hours.

All this time, because shitcomputer, I run the game in a windowed, low resolution so the writing on the yellow light was always blurred. Now I know it what says! Always ignored that light anyway. _/:v:\_

God, the loading times are astronomical.

After being at my Apokee, I used an orbital calculator I found on the KSP forums to figure out how fast I had to go to enter the atmosphere at approximately where it would let me land at the launch site. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2668640/Kerbal/0.9x/screenshot4.png[/img] Then I separated from my rocket. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2668640/Kerbal/0.9x/screenshot7.png[/img] At this point I am a little worried about where I'm going to land.

[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2668640/Kerbal/0.9x/screenshot18.png[/img] But not horribly much.

sunday's pack isn't working with 0.9 update.

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;31603775]sunday's pack isn't working with 0.9 update.[/QUOTE] ships made out of vanilla parts from 0.8.5 don't work either, he changed something causing the old part to bug out. [editline]8th August 2011[/editline] so I had to copy the biggest part of my 7900m/s rocket while having 0.8.5 open in a small window :v:

holy fuck i landed my ship intact. Thought that was impossible.

i cant reach 1000 meter altitude unless i want to explode

Ever tried the thing called Rockets? [editline]8th August 2011[/editline] They work pretty good.

Had been trying to make a saturn v, but after the adapter, I couldn't find any parts that will fit. So I can only use the unfitting big orange fuel tank. Anyone know if I can paint it or find some other part in white colour? Also, not mine, but as you can see, the orange ruins the saturn v. Same problem here.
