Nice craft! To fix the "Belly Flop" issue, you can just add a couple Verner RCR thrusters under the nose so you can do a slow, controlled belly flop. You can also fix the Phys-Warp issue by locking the rotator. It cant be done in the SPH, for some reason, and needs to be done once the craft has spawned in.
I know this comment is well late but back in the old days we could simply move the engines/mass around automatically: ruclips.net/video/gEjlMeq9qCA/видео.html ruclips.net/video/8UTFm5bUoSc/видео.html Maybe I should look at resurrecting the mod for the new, fangled technology :)
12:45 - Another thing that I've found almost always helps with directional control during landing is to disable the brakes on the nose gear and just use the main gear to brake; this puts your center of braking further behind your center of mass (so your plane naturally wants to go straight), and considerably increases the effectiveness of the nose-gear steering.
3:05 No, I'm very proud of your reasoning, that's the first thing I did after designing a pair of construction vehicles. I built a vacuum VTOL Because that's what pushes the efficiency of a space plane to its limit. Using lifting surfaces in atmosphere, and gently using engines in vacuum, or low pressure bodys. To land horizontal, rather than vertically, before noting down to have the suspension take the brunt of the final landing.
I had an idea and drawings of the same principle back in the 1980s. I was told that it was a (Cool Idea) but it is Science Fiction, 39 years ago. In fact it incorporated a Nuclear Drive System that developes a Bubble or Magnetosphere around the ship to be used for long distance space travel and possible reentry protection. I'm glad someone else also has the forsight like I did.
You could combat that pitching moment by placing the swivel axis a bit below the center of mass and then adjusting the angle of swivel in vertical mode as the cog changes
I've been waiting for motorised parts to come to KSP for years now (officially).... But now that I've got them, I'm a little overwhelmed with possibilities
Matt, I've seen a lot of your videos and I'm learning a lot from the way you design and launch your SSTOs and ships. But the one thing that continually astounds me is how you can land so close to the KSC. I try to do the burns in Orbit and always either undershoot to the ocean before the peninsula, overshoot to the middle of the eastern ocean, or end up in an unrecoverable spin into the nearby mountains. Could you do an instructional on how you plan and perform these deorbiting burns?
I was half asleep (it's late not matt's fault) and got the shit scared out of me by deja vu 10/10 would recomend. I now remember what makes Matt's videos so special, Don't stop being you Matt
RCS build-aid mod shows you the wet the dry and the average centre of mass, and I found it easy to create crafts that have the wet and dry centre at the same point (was experimenting with fewest possible RCS thrusters). They were easy to fly even with FAR on, but I still can't land anything with that mod 80% of the time... Could be a great help with VTOL-s, and maybe I could even land one properly...
Great sponsorship deal there! I have recently been looking into building a new house after my straw one collapsed. I was considering sticks but after your sponsorship I decided to try bricks. There are sturdy and reliable and should I have the need to build any more structures in future I will be using bricks!
@@acr_-kj8gd if not strutted correctly..? I dunno, long story, but my Linux PC has simply decided to make most of my game files disappear. They were not deleted, mind you, they simply no longer appear in their file locations. Linux is ridiculous, BTW.
Cool Space plane - and a very graceful landing on Minmus. I would love to see some SSTO's capable of landing gracefully on other extrakerrestrial bodies :-)
For a first shot pretty cool. A dedicated vtol engine in the bows (small one just for vertical thrust) would make your craft a lot more stable during vtol manouvers. Otherwise, as said pretty cool for a first svivel mount engine v/stol.
Great VTOL SSTO Matt. I am gonna build a replica of a VTOL SSTO from a movie. I know your VTOL SSTO cannot land vertically on Kerbin, but that does not matter. The movie one just did the same thing, but it used a launch place to fly in the sky. I am trying to do it, but i only have problems with taking off. It won't get into orbit, but I will try my best.
Hey dude. So I just discovered this game and it looks extremely fun and interesting. Is it too late to get into, or is it still worth a buy? Also, would you say it's something any reasonably intelligent person could get good at? I'm not too great with physics and whatnot but from your vids it doesn't seem too in depth. Also you have awesome vids I've probably watches 2 dozen in a day and a half lol
lol, ive done similar mission to minmus way way way before official version of KSP dropped. I must say, I still prefer 1 nuclear engine on the tail and tiltable rapiers on tip of the wings configuration (because it has less dead weight), but your take was interesting nevertheless. Besides, tiltable nuclear engines are useful only on Minmus or Gilly, on bigger moons it is still more useful to have more power when taking off up to certain speed/height, rest of the way to orbit is manageable afterwards using NERV engine, if the craft is sufficiently light.

Also, it's not too hard to add a small twitch engine at the CoM to act as a VTOL thruster, it works well for Minmus.

Hello, Matt! I really enjoy your videos, also I had been teahing how to play by your tutorials, you’re the best! good luck!
The minmus liftoff may be the coolest thing I've ever seen in ksp. Reminds me of a millennium falcon liftoff in star wars.
Nice spacecraft design and keep it up!!!
So glide like the modern space shuttle?
That would require the engines running in reverse, otherwise it would glide to well.

He feckin killed himself
I kinda feel bad for him, taking so much energy to build something and for him to just have it not work
That was a rather steep ascent for a SSTO! I normally stay flat at ~250m a lot longer to get ~400m/s+ before I start my climb.
