All overheating is on, but this particular iteration of the vehicle can’t survive much more than LKO reentry. I have a version now that can survive full interplanetary entry from Jool without having to resort to multiple airbrake passes either. Landing and returns are all manual. No mecjeb or kOS.

It took a few tries, but I found these cool square heat shield panels from a mod that did the job really good. Only problem is this specific iteration of the vehicle is only able to survive deorbits from LKO. If you want something really good I found a mod called procedural parts that has custom resizable heat shields that work wonders. Survives the worst of stress tests I’ve thrown at it.

It’s in the trajectories mod in ckan. On the right side of the screen there’s a menu that can toggle it on and off, I put up a video that shows how to do it.

Yeah with exception to the clouds I use ckan exclusively.

That is a mod I downloaded in CKAN called Trajectories. I have a video up on how to toggle that mark on and off.

@@RocketMan159 thanks!

That thing has more wing than most airliners

I believe it's Tundra's Space Center. It allows for extra launch pads.

@@RocketMan159 Tnx mate! 🤠

Definitely doable, most of the parts I used in the video are stock/dlc. Hard part is the landing legs. Might be able to use the stock ones by sliding them down a bit after placing them, that or put some flat panels on first that hang down a bit and put the legs on those. Going past 8 way symmetry is doable too though a glitch.

yes i did it myself

I used the mod FMRS which lets you “go back in time” and fly each piece separately. I put it all in an editor in post and tried to sync them up to real time best I could.

I think any version is fine, I have the latest version and it has this in it.

Yeah the channel name is a hint towards the song.

@@RocketMan159 gotta be my fav elton john song, that or vienna. both bangers lmfao

I’ve actually been thinking about making a series where I attempt this. I’ve done it once with a really small vehicle but it wasn’t fully successful haha. Docking is by far the hardest part weirdly.

That would be a sight to see if was made real haha

It’s volumetric clouds by Blackrack. 5$ a month but totally worth it in my opinion.

thanks you 🤝 @@RocketMan159

@@RocketMan159 Nice

I was gonna make that joke

@@joyhoward6105 damn maybe next time my man

Not Falcon Super Heavy, Falcon Super Ultra Heavy

Actuallly this is a much better concept than starship (i would make the final stage expendable though).... i´ve always found the starship design to be dumb (many points of failure, cant actually lift that much and its not that pretty)

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Pretty much quicksaves. I use the mod FMRS which lets you do that kind of thing easier, catch being it actually marks the pieces recovered whereas the quicksaves strategy wouldn’t be able.

I think it’s a mix between autostrut, kerbal joint reinforcement (mod, not 100% sure if that’s the right name) and the tanks themselves (I think that’s the near future mods). It wasn’t anything I tried specifically to do. And like with the rss/ro mods this vehicle is nearly impossible to flip (you have to be going under 150 m/s to survive lol). The key thing though is if you’re ever trying to do it and having trouble, either wait longer so you’re in the thicker parts of the atmosphere or add more air brakes. Ultimately the slower you’re going the more likely you’ll be able to do it.

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

The Kerbals made some serious advancements. They’ve almost reached camera man levels.

i was like damn they are Planes Now XD

I considered putting landing gears on them and landing on the runway but powered landings are cooler lol

@@RocketMan159 starship heavy

Thank you so much

It's a mod called "Trajectories". It's available in the CKAN app, it will install the mod for you. With exception to the clouds I get all my mods through there.

@RocketMan159 yes ik but it doesn't show me other than in the map view

How did u make it show you in the normal view

@@O5-3-site-17 I forgot that was hard to find for me, it's over on the righthand panel in the trajectories icon. I think right-clicking it opens a menu and I think it's one of the four radio buttons that toggles it on and off. I'll work on a short video to show how to do it since it's kind of hidden. I'll try to have that up soon.

I uploaded a short video to show how I got it to appear in normal view. Hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/aTcAhk4COo0/w-d-xo.html

they were separatly controlled using quicksaves and all

I used the mod FMRS to separately control each vehicle, then just edited in post to get them to play together. Did my best to get the framerates to match real time for each.

@@RocketMan159 Thank you, can i ask to you also the mod you used to show the trajectory and the predicted point of landing for the boosters?

That mod is called “Trajectories” in CKAN if I’m remembering right (if not it’s a variation on the spelling). I have a video up on how to toggle the indicator in-game once that mod is installed.
