    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS :
    1. When do you upload videos? - I make videos everyday.
    2. What do you do for a living? - I work a full time construction job plus any overtime I can get.
    3. Where can I download the craft file? - No downloads as of yet. I don't have the time, but these videos are meant for you to be inspired to build your own crafts. I try to make it so you can follow along with the build.
    4. What is a SSRT ? - SSRT means Single Stage Rocket Technology. It was a term used before the term SSTO was a thing.

    THE CHANNEL:
    This channel is about Kerbal Space Program and can consist of SSTO building tutorials and rocket building tutorials. Some times the videos contain bad language and adult humor but on a low level. In these videos no planet is safe as we can explore space together by landing on places like Duna and Jool and build large Duna colonies or orbital space stations. Also, Interplanetary SSTO builds seem to be a hot topic in the KSP community so I will be touching on those as well. I also build SSRT space craft. These are fun to build and easy to fly! Warships or space warships are one of my favorite things to make. Stock weapons can be very challenging and so when building them over time , you get to see the evolution of the designs. Same thing with the Warships. They get better and better with each new design.
    Now , I know it's considered cheating but Kraken drives are a fun way to put things like warp drive ( like in Star Trek ) and or hyper drives ( like in Star Wars ) in your Kerbal space program game. These game mechanic loopholes are fun to figure out as you find out how they work and how to incorporate them into your star ship design.
    Everything from Outposts on far away moons and Mining Stations around asteroids and comets, you name it I've ether built it or it's on my to do list! I still haven't really explored things like building SpaceX starship or any of the NASA spacecraft, and I think that's because it been done to many times. Recreations of spacecraft can be found almost everywhere on RUclips now and so making yet another one seem redundant. Only if the spacecraft recreation is of one that I loved as a kid will I even attempt to build it. Like the Apollo Moon Lander, or the whole Apollo rocket! Now that rocket was cool!
    As for things like RSS/RO ( Real Solar System and Realism Overhaul ) I have a few videos on those mods where I successfully built an SSRT ( single stage rocket technology ) craft and built a space station with said craft. Very difficult but VERY fun!
    Now I don't just play Kerbal Space Program or KSP for short all the time. I like space and technology and so I gravitate to games with those types of themes. Like EVE online or Star Trek online. You have Sins of a Solar Empire and Spore where you create and build your own galactic empire and even design your own ships! Fallout 4 is also a favorite of mine and when I get a chance to make a video of it, I make sure it's fast, funny and entertaining.
    Many people have ask me if I'm ever going to wear my Mandalorian helmet ever again for my videos. And , yes. when the time is right, and I get a new wabcam, I will be dawning the helmet once more!
    Thank you everyone! ... This is the way.

    Landing by looking out the left side, just like an old biplane. Also, for more complex designs, keeping RCS or liquid fuel tanks in the nose and tail and shifting monopropellant or fuel between them is an effective way to trim the center of mass in flight on reentry. Start all forward and transfer back until your pitch indicator while using sas zeros out. If you're over shooting, transfer back forward until using half your pitch authority to maintain your attitude. Adds drag without airbrakes or changing AOA.

      Skylon balances fuel in the nose and tail tanks in this same way. But that's a more complicated technique. Vaos' design today is all about being simple.

    • @vaos3712
      @vaos3712  2 года назад +5

      I have found a way to avoid all the fuel transferring stuff so I never have to worry about it. It's the tip that I show everyone in the video. :)

    First off: I'm a total SSTO noob.
    Rebuilt it with slight changes*. And - what can I say - it flies like a charme. Super stable in ascent and descent. Almost no input needed on keyboard during ascent and re-entry (which is something that I never experienced before in my ssto attempts). First time ever that I made it into orbit AND landed back on the KSC runway.
    (* solar panels instead of the fuel cell which is not available yet in my career save and a single 7-RFS thruster to be able to push the vessel down and away from the previously released cargo)
    One small step for VAOS. One giant leap for me!
    Also: I like your videos very much. Especially the way you present them, the way you talk your viewers through them. Love it ;-)

    At first I didn't like having the crew at the rear... until I saw that view of the cargo doors. Seems like that's a great spot for a mission specialist, who handles payload launch/recovery and docking maneuvers. Pilots instinctively want to see below, for the runway and any obstacles, but historically handled it exactly the way you just did.
    I try to keep the center of fudge as close to my mouth as possible.

    • @eekee6034
      @eekee6034 2 года назад

      I've had a cockpit behind a cargo bay before. It wasn't the only cockpit on the plane, but I still kind-of went through the same thought process.
      For all the mention of snacks in the game, you'd think fudge would come up sometimes. I mean they even have a dessert launch complex. (Some day, I'm going to build a desert lunch complex to go with it.)

    Last night, I half-built one with a long adapter for the tail with both a cockpit and an atomic rocket embedded into it. The atomic rocket blends very well with a nose cone adjusted to merge with its taper, especially when embedded into a mk1-mk2 adapter. With that much weight at the back, I fitted 2 cabins and an inline docking port up front. It was late and I couldn't get the side tanks to look good, so I scrapped it. Didn't help that I wanted to use Big-S wings, they made it harder to make it look right. A second pair of... fuel tank tubes, for want of a better term, would probably have been easier to work with. It's definitely easier to build spaceplanes this way than my previous method of trying to guess where COM will end up when the fuel tanks are placed and inevitably failing. That method requires so many rebuilds of complex vehicles.

    Could you fit a large parachute in place of the aerodynamic dome at the rear? My landings are sometimes a little bit uncontrolled and a way to slow down would help me out a lot.

    • @halofan364
      @halofan364 Год назад

      you could! however imo landing with the chutes is much harder than landing normally. try using a large drone chute and then if thats too powerful two side mounted drone chutes directly on the CoM. some tips i have for landing in general are establish a low speed and a glideslope when youre looking at the runway numbers, by glideslope i mean have your craft pitched so that it would run directly into the numbers if no other control inputs were made. once youre getting close to the numbers, pull up gently and just fly the plane down the runway until it touches down. if you balloon and end up flying back up above the runway just go around and try it again. i would practice landing your spaceplanes for a couple launches before you actually take it up into space just so you get a feel for how it controls.

    • @vaos3712
      @vaos3712  2 года назад +2

      I don't have KSP for steam. I downloaded it from the KSP website years ago before it was on steam. I'm not sure how to install mods on a Steam KSP game. However, if you got the game from the KSP website, here is what you do. Go into your KSP folder, you should see a folder called Gamedata. Click it. You should see folders that say Squad and SquadExpansion (if you have the DLCs.) Now, unzip the mod file then look in your mod folder. You will have a folder in it called Gamedata as well. Do not grab the Gamedata folder in your mod folder. You need to open that Gamadata folder to grab your mod from it. Now, grab the mod then drag it to your KSP Gamedata folder and drop it in. Make sure you have something called ModuleManager 4.2.1 and put that in there as well. Some modes already have it in their folder so if that is the case, put that in your Gamedata folder as well. ModuleManager may have had an update so the numbers might be higher then 4.2.1, that's fine.
      Hope this helps
