We should treat KSP 2 like people treat Pacific Rim Uprising like "wow KSP rlly is a fantastic game, its a shame it never got a sequel" and just try to collectively gaslight everyone into believing it never existed
Im absolutely loving this series so far, please ekeep up with the amazing quality and effort that's within these videos. Its seriously something I drop everything I'm doing to watch.
Something that can help with the wing construction is deciding what wing shape you want, and add whatever fuel tanks, landing gear, or whatever else you need. Then rebuild it with the wing part that is in the middle and attach everything to it. Once that's done, you can now just rotate that one wing piece and the whole wing will rotate with it.
Keep an eye out for tiny rocks on surfaces. You can pick them up with a kerbal, and they give a good chunk of science. They are pretty easy to spot, especially on the minmus flats. Every planet and moon has them just keep in mind they aren't found in all biomes.
Eve is a beast I’d conquer duna first This series is great! I thoroughly enjoy the edits. They are smooth and every transition feels like it has a purpose in its movement. Keep of the great work
Thank you!! Late reply obviously, but I put a lot of effort into into making sure the transitions have a purpose and I’m really glad it shows, that’s just awesome!
17:33 Bradley Whistance moment but 17:57 without pretending it was intentional. He always does! XD The most efficient takeoff is tangential to the surface, so he does that whenever he can, but I'm not sure it's enough to explain all his close passes.
Hey thanks! Really glad you like the vids!! I was originally gonna add Restock AND TURD to this playthrough but found out that they apparently don’t work together, which is a bit of a bummer
The second you said you'd use the horizontal stabilizer as an airbrake I knew what was coming, you're basically locking them in place so you're left without yaw control.
Thanks for the heads up! I haven’t tested an approach yet like in the video but adjusting the planetshine settings made Minmus and the Mun much less washed out and overly bright (it’s the vacuum brightness setting for those interested)
Your planes get unbalanced during re-entry because the fuel is consumed! You should consider this when making any plane, but i have some tips: - In the hangar, empty all the tanks (fuel and oxidizer), balance the plane, return all the fuel and oxidizer (do each separately) find a way it ends up with the same center of mass. Usually, some fuel tanks will not use full capacity, your job is then to find the combination that has more fuel; - Use the fuel on the nose of the plane as a mid-flight balancer, set it to not be consumeable and, when you need to move the center of mass, transfer it. Hope it helped!
@@Trailmaker. In this case, I still recommend using 1 or 2 tanks, with no consumable fuel, to balance the plane by the transfer of the fuel I also find it better to make the plane nose heavy during re-entry, one of the problems he had
For the moon getting brighter, Check if youre running Stock Visual Terrain. This mod replaces the planet textures, but if youre running other mods like parallax on top of it, the ground textures might not match the space textures.
That was actually what the original plan for this mod pack was, way back before my aircraft only ksp2 series! The series was going to be called “Inside” and I still may do it if I can find the time (would be normal ksp with rockets and everything but never leaving IVA after taking off from the KSC)
You should check out atmospheric autopilot. You can use it to allow control like the f22 raptor has. It let's you fly like a real plane with its fly by wire and makes planes just that much better
As weird as it sounds, the air breaks needs to be the other way around. They should deploy "outwards" rather than "inwards" like you did. No idea why, but i had the same problem and that fixed it
@@smooneychad I was thinking 3 would work, while of course I dont know the craft statistics I think that should be enough to get to orbit with the extra wing tanks
What if you make prop plane with all the other ssto parts, use the props to go high up, then detach them and go on like 10km in the air full on fuel, it would more efficient would it not?
SSTOs are cool and all, but once you get out of the atmosphere its basically a rocket. So i wanna know can you do a fly by and return from minmus using atmospheric engines only? youd have to get all the speed you need in atmosphere AND do it in exactly the right place to just to encounter minmus
I'm very confused on space planes. I have the exact plane you made for the landing on Minmus, with the exact fuel count but slightly lighter since I don't know all the internals you put on the craft, but I can NEVER get my plane up to the speed you achieve even with the after burners on. What did your flight slope look like for this? I tried 10 degrees, 15, and 20, but none of them ever let me get above Mach 1, and most of the time I fall very short of hitting that speed. As I said, I have the exact same plane (maybe my wings aren't exactly the same angle but idk for sure) and I can't even get close.
somewhat overbuilt. you can get a minmus landing and back with an ssto of 1 panther and 2 terriers without stacking tricks. Enough to bring early game experiments, including science module.
So far all of the crafts have been stock besides the paint job and occasional cameras, so it kinda has been stock though that’s gonna be changing very soon. But I definitely would do a complete stock play through if I had the time!
I cannot believe you replied, I've never been replied to, especially by a youtuber! (who should have a couple million more subs...) But thanks, oh and by the way i have a suggestion... try and make your own version of the British Space Shuttle prototype, of course it would have to take off from the runway, and an SSTO to put stuff in orbit! You could make entire space stations in just a few orbits, with refuelling stations on most planets and/or moons! You could go anywhere in the Kerbol system!
I didn’t have crossfeed unlocked yet, you need to unlock the fuel lines before you can enable crossfeed on decouplers. Luckily I finally have that unlocked so, yay droptanks! :D
1 note you keep reading your current total science instead of the science earned for the missions. The layout of that info has always bugged me because i would see the total and be like "sweet I got 1000 science from that mission" when really i just had like 900 i hadn't spent quite yet and only earned like 100 so i would leave that screen expecting to see my total at 1900 and be REALLY disappointed

kcalbeloh is pronounced like k-call-below

Where does the name come from? I always wonder when browsing mod forums
@@ajblaze7028 Black hole but reversed and backwards
Hear me out, what if I just say “hole black” then reverse it every time I refer to the system lol
@@smooneychad would be great, remember that all planets in the kcalbeloh system are also reverse named
I always just use some drogue chutes for breaking sstos on return, that way it doesnt matter if I come zooming in on the LZ or not.
They also just look awesome when deployed going down the runway!
I wanna see electric props on Eve! Otherwise its a bit of an escalation and you should probably do Duna first lol
An electric probe-plane on eve would be very cool!
aldready did lol. AND HE LOVES UR IDEA!
parallax 2.0 is responsible for the mun getting brighter when you get close to it

Okey doke! Though parallax, might make this a tad more difficult…darn lol

The big Rock you found on that minmus mountain can be scanned with a Rover arm
I honestly hope you pump this series out p.s please don’t burn out
Been working on the series pretty much 24/7 and luckily I believe I’m immune to ksp related burnout, now editing on the other hand may be my doom! 😂

according to Mike Aben, that manuver is called the 'jebediah manuver'.
That is confirmed. Bob Kerman went to space to look for copper that he can sell (the best quality of course)
Bronze age shitpost
the way you say EVA hurts (its funny) Edit: didn’t know it was
IVA my bad
You should do a series of ksp1 but only in first person
That was actually what the original plan for this mod pack was, way back before my aircraft only ksp2 series! The series was going to be called “Inside” and I still may do it if I can find the time (would be normal ksp with rockets and everything but never leaving IVA after taking off from the KSC)
The mün getting brighter is parallax changing the texture of the mün as you get closer.
Mmm if that’s what is causing it then I guess I’ll just have to get used to it, parallax is far too cool looking
You should check out atmospheric autopilot. You can use it to allow control like the f22 raptor has. It let's you fly like a real plane with its fly by wire and makes planes just that much better
Gonna be adding it for the next episode! :D
@@smooneychad awesome
I think you can enable crossfeed in decouplers and set tank priority to have drop tanks without fuel lines.
the mun gets brighter because of scatterer and other visual mods when the surface loads in
As weird as it sounds, the air breaks needs to be the other way around.
They should deploy "outwards" rather than "inwards" like you did.
No idea why, but i had the same problem and that fixed it
Thanks! I was debating in my head which way would be more stable and I guess I chose the wrong one, I’ll definitely give this a try though!
Tip for engines: less is more. 1 terrier would give far more dv than 5 terriers
Once you’re in orbit this is absolutely true, but with one terrier the TWR would have been 0.12 which would never get to orbit with this SSTO.
@@smooneychad I was thinking 3 would work, while of course I dont know the craft statistics I think that should be enough to get to orbit with the extra wing tanks
you should go for eve cause wings on duna will be more of an issue but youll probably want to how to make a propeller plane
9:19 so every planet and moon have day and night, so it was night right there before then it became day basically
What if you make prop plane with all the other ssto parts, use the props to go high up, then detach them and go on like 10km in the air full on fuel, it would more efficient would it not?
It would be cool to try that out as I’ve never seen it done really, kinda like an Eve ssto sort of thing!
SSTOs are cool and all, but once you get out of the atmosphere its basically a rocket. So i wanna know can you do a fly by and return from minmus using atmospheric engines only? youd have to get all the speed you need in atmosphere AND do it in exactly the right place to just to encounter minmus
Wait, how do you make sure that the terrier or panther engine doesn't burn off through clipping?
The edge of the rocket nozzle has to clear the edge of the jet engines, even by a pixel. Or, the Kerbal way - trial and error
yowzers
No way, they added Josip Broz Tito to KSP? (I am referecning the rich guy you had to ferry off to space.)
The KSP plot thickens…
eve return? yes please!!
Just a probe mission of some kind for right now, but I shall count this toward the eve votes!

has anyone created a ckan modpack for this?
(EDIT: I just noticed that there is a link for his discord in the description with the modpack)
have you installed advanced fly by wire so you can use a video game controller? i would highly recommend it, especially for a plane-only challenge.
Yep I’ve got advanced fly by wire it’s very handy! (I’m using it to set up my flightstick)
somewhat overbuilt. you can get a minmus landing and back with an ssto of 1 panther and 2 terriers without stacking tricks. Enough to bring early game experiments, including science module.
