Viola! I have successfully installed KSP across all my school computers.

[QUOTE=Winstonn;32295069]No more 34600 meter 28 minute orbits ;-;[/QUOTE] Why? What? What happened?

[QUOTE=Mindfuck 2;32303391]Why? What? What happened?[/QUOTE] 0.10.1

I'm starting to hate and love 0.10.1.

I think it's awesome that you can now decrease your orbit by barely entering the atmosphere. Beats the hell out of wasting fuel just to slow down 200~ m/s

Think it'd be possible to achieve escape velocity using only radial spin thrusters?

[QUOTE=Twistshock;32307383]Think it'd be possible to achieve escape velocity using only radial spin thrusters?[/QUOTE] Given enough fuel, I don't see why not.

Tried to fly gta-man's plane. [IMG]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/540653520065789615/2D0C9A27F9A6B9F520B6A33C42004357D07E05F3/[/IMG] ...Oops. When it first crashed it still had the other wing too and started sliding across land.

and 200 tries later i still cant reach orbit , hell i cant even climb to 70km without doing front flips oh man this game is awesome

[QUOTE=StaT;32351618]and 200 tries later i still cant reach orbit , hell i cant even climb to 70km without doing front flips oh man this game is awesome[/QUOTE] Sounds like what happened when I tried using a bunch of wings. Loads of thrusters, maybe a few spin thrusters, and then spin to stabilise.

[QUOTE=StaT;32351618]and 200 tries later i still cant reach orbit , hell i cant even climb to 70km without doing front flips oh man this game is awesome[/QUOTE] SAS modules, use them.

yay reached an altitude of 130 km. but fell down shortly , how much speed do i need to get in to orbit ?

[QUOTE=StaT;32354112]yay reached an altitude of 130 km. but fell down shortly , how much speed do i need to get in to orbit ?[/QUOTE] Depends on your altitude. At 100 km you need a horizontal speed of 2245.8 m/s for a circular orbit, but 2220.2 m/s is enough to stay above the atmosphere. If you go faster than 3176 m/s at 100km you will never come back to Kerbal.

Vertial Speed =/= Getting you into Orbit, to orbit, its your horzontal speed that you need up.

Yay mannaged to get in to LEO , or shud i say KEO anyway next version has a time compression right ?

using some of those mods I reached around a 25-26k m/s and around 4000k altitude, I got bored and quit the game because after 15 minutes that .4 at the end of my speed was still the same :v: nevermind, just reached 41k m/s and around 41700k altitude :v:

I used the aviation pack to get into orbit. This was my entire ship: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2668640/Kerbal/screenshot50.png[/img]

Those compressed fuel tanks are kinda.. cheating in my opinion. Low weight and size, can store a lot of fuel, and has standard resistances regarding force and temperature I believe. Do tend to use them for making wobbly sections on my rockets.

I went into a circular orbit at 64.744km, it lasted a little over 75% of an orbit. [editline]18th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=scout1;32359197]LEO = Low Earth Orbit KEO = ???[/QUOTE] Kerbal Earth Orbit I think he meant LKO.

I absolutely cannot build a decent plane. They're always clunky and horrible and somehow never land right. It's a damn shame. Any tips?
