They took me quite a while to figure out after looking at how real-life designs work. And there just weren't any tutorials on how to make them, so I made one. I'm happy that you found it useful.

Glad to hear it. To where is your next mission taking you?

@@Echo3 duna or ike depending on how well my parachutes function

@@CultReport You can use gravity assists to go to or from Duna, but the Delta v savings isn't very much. Duna, however, is a great place to use aerobraking.

I think this is because I only used a single pusher propeller. I think using 2 counter-rotating propellers might have helped.

​@@Echo3 Is there anyway to account for this while using a single forward engine? I am able to take off with my helis but they are very unstable and I can't figure out why there's always a drift to either left, right, or pitch up, even when I counterbalance with two engines rotating in opposite directions

@@yarknergin4424 With a single rotor, there are some things that can help. If you are familiar with real helicopters, the rotor blades are on hinges allowing them to swing fore and aft. This helps with the roll issue. As the helicopter travels faster forward, one side will have the rotor blades traveling faster relative to the direction of travel than the other. You will get more lift on this side and less on the other. This is called retreating blade stall. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retreating_blade_stall

Cool mate cheers

I'll look into it. Thanks for the recommendation. Currently, I have been enjoying playing Vahleim.

@ looks neat!

Need help with KSP? Ask grandma!

It was a lot of fun to make. And all the support from the viewers was great.

This was playing the regular heating mechanic. The parts on this shuttle are very heat tolerant.

These parts work best with a scientist and an engineer - scientist for the science parts like the go-ob and an engineer for deploying the solar panels or RTGs. You need to pack the science parts in the storage compartments in your craft. There is a box looking icon in the assembly buildings on the left side of the screen for this. Once you land where you want to deploy the science parts, have an engineer get out and grab the controller (wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Probodobodyne_Experiment_Control_Station), then place an antenna (wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Communotron_Ground_HG-48), then the power (wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/OX-Stat-PD_Photovoltaic_Panel). Then get a scientist to place the experiments. Any Kerbal can place the items, but a higher starred engineer will make the solar panels work better and the scientist will make the science parts work better. You'll want to place this from the Kerbal menu not the construction menu. You'll need to press space bar to deploy the item.

ya i have no idea how to collect the deployable science. he didnt explain it. ijust saw him place the parts but how do u get the science from it

​@@77FmydogIf you have a transmitter, the science points can be collected automatically. You may have to set up relay satellites.

@77Fmydog Ive actually been able to make it work! I referred to a good ksp forum page that tells you to place your parts in a specific order, and then click deploy on the experiment parts, and time warp until it's done. Remember, if you want to collect science from it, you must have a communotron nearby with enough electricity. I could get the experiment to complete 100%, but the transmission rate was only 50.01% or something. Oh well, at least my quest is complete

​@@Echo3 Thanks! 3 weeks ago, I searched up how to do it on google and found the solution on the ksp forum instantly after posting this comment, yet I appreciate the time you took to answer me. I do still have another issue that the forum has not helped me with. Even when my collected data goes to 100%, the transmission rate (The science collected back at the KSC) is not 100%. It stops at 50.01% or something. Have you ever seen this happen, or is it just a bug? What's the fix? Also, love your vids. You have the best tutorials. After weeks of trying, I finally made a prop plane after watching your videos. Thanks a lot!

Kerbal Space Program

you need to click on the experiment part and select the option to run it.

Nice. Will you be sharing pictures anywhere?

I have a 12th gen I9, 32GB of RAM and a GTX3080.

th-cam.com/video/eMZSisbhL6A/w-d-xo.html This video shows a very basic way to make a prop plane. th-cam.com/video/79Qgy7HPb24/w-d-xo.html This one is a little more complex but offers more control.

This video is several years old at this point, but everything is still applicable for PC players.

Thank you

Hope you liked it

@@Echo3 yh cant wait to try the negative throttle thing, it sounds so fun

Without more details, it'll be hard for me to help. Are you able to share screenshots anywhere?

@@Echo3 No, but I can tell you it kept spinning on the ground and when I tried to tweak the torque and all the other things it stopped moving, probably because I'm not using any mods.

@@Strexo-r2n You shouldn't really need to adjust the torque. Are you attaching the top rotor to top of the bottom rotor?

@@Echo3 yeah

@@Strexo-r2n that won't work. The base of both rotors needs to be attached to something more solid.

They can be. It's all in how they are designed.

I have another question if you dont mind. I play on ps5 and i want to use the move tool to move the landing gear further away from the fuselage. But its locked to a certain distance. Is there a way to increase it in stock ksp or is it a mod?

​@@ZAR_DO200it's not a mod but I don't know what the equivalent button is for console.

Interesting. Maybe try adjusting the deployment angle of the blades slightly rather than the rotor speed to better control flight.

Could you tell me more about what's happening? Is the rotor turning? If so, how fast are you going? Are you have trouble pitch up during takeoff?

@@Echo3 nvm i fixed it, i had not done the wing part correctly, thanks for replying tho.

Yes, I believe I can.

1drv.ms/u/c/cacdd6babcc8f805/EWZbGy25qQxMmKmQztvnbAwBlJ8NYKDc_ZqecgPslxgRSw?e=TsFYgo here is the CKAN modpack

The ideal propeller angle for takeoff is about 7 or 8 degrees. Then keep increasing the angle as you increase speed.

@@Echo3 Thank you! I am going to scale it up for full 3 kerbal crew mission, probably just more propellers and more massive rocket will be sufficent. I have already replicated it and tested the takeoff from Eve (teleporting the takeoff stage to Eve to not losing time) and although I still could not achieve proper orbit, I was close enough to it and managed to achieve orbit with EVA. I will keep trying (and not flipping backwards after propellers detached). Btw, I probably found a strange bug but can't find any information. Sometimes, at some point after I detach propellers and turn on the next stage, my rocket gains some acceleration from unknown source (even when engines are off), which is a little smaller than Eve's gravity, so my speed decreases only a little, apoapsis keeps increase even engines are off. It still exists even when I am out of atmosphere, and even I detach everything to the last stage with a pod. Interestingly enough, that this phantom acceleration probably scales with the distance to Eve, decreasing proportionally to Eve's free fall acceleration at a given height (so speed never increase, but decrease much slower than expected). And also I can't time warp, game says "you can't tjme warp when engines are on, use physical tine warp" - even when I have no engines. I have no mods and evoked this bug at least twice. Did you encounter anything similar?

@@Manool-21 I'm guess that this is during testing. You have a message on your screen that says something about Physics Easing. You'll either need to land the craft and let it settle first or disable physics easing in the settings.

@@Echo3 oh, indeed I have. I did not land properly because teleporting set you to a few meters above the surface by default, and you can easily flip when hitting the ground, so I immediately turned propellers on and did not bother to land. If I land properly before starting, this bug seems to not appear. Thank you!

@@Manool-21 How did the mission end up? Did you successfully land and return from the purple giant?

I've never played RSS/RP1. It is definitely something I think I'd like to try. Might even use principia too for the full experience.

Yes it's super realistic. Finding a good second stage or third stage engine is always tough when you take into account the number of ignition you have.

Time to rescue the rescue mission now

@@Echo3 Not even an exaggeration --- took me 3 separate missions to get my men back from the surface of Eve.🤣

I'm on Reddit and the KSP forum under the same username. I'm on Discord (also the same username), but don't have my own group.

The last part is 1.12.4 I think. All the mods used still work in the latest version.

@@Echo3 thank you

I have made a CKAN file. I'll see if I can find it.

@@Echo3 thank you so much i tried making one but im just dumb
