FYI the Community Fixes mod (it's on CKAN) includes an auto-check/fix for the landed state bug. It's more than a little disappointing that it hasn't been squashed by now, though, as it's a pretty severe one. The handful of times I've tried to do a round-trip SSTO to Laythe in KSP2 haven't gone well, usually because SSTOs still aren't very structurally sound. The dumb wings/side tanks just falling off bug is one of the more frustrating ones left in the game. IMO it's really hard to remain motivated to try big SSTO missions until things like that are in a better state. That said, I have had a few successes building them (when they decide to stay together), and my current best is getting to LKO with just over 9,500 m/s vacuum delta-v left. The SWERV is crazy
For some reason community fixes was giving me some strange bugs like maneuver nodes not working properly. I'm also just trying to keep it 100% stock for the series, so it'll kind of represent the base game's state. and yeah side tanks are still a no go, I did however just get a dual-hull (payload in the middle) SSRT/SSTO working tho! ~45 tons to LKO with the ssto itself weighing a chonky 460 tons fully fueled, still has the occasional wing pop off on launch. For whatever reason though looking to the sky before physics load in fixes it lol Also 9,500 m/s is nuts, nice work!
Your jeb is lucky to retire, mine is just all alone on high kerbin orbit because he's too scared to break that one inch of solar panel that is blocking his way out
I can't imagine trying to do videos without quicksave/load, this mission would have ended with that unexpected explosion at high altitude on Laythe... realistic in a sad way, RIP the crew of "Mage 1" Yeah I think I'll keep reverting and quickloading on so we all don't end up crying lol
this one is on par with the others ~3-4k within a day or two, nothing compared to the first 3-ish vids, but I couldn't be happier that so many people are still following along 10 episodes in!
Thanks!
Thank you!! Anything like this always goes straight toward improving my gear and the videos, so it's very much appreciated!
Jeb at the ending 😭
I was feeling really bad, after this feel much better. Thx so much Smooney!
I'm glad I could help out, thanks for watching! :D

Jeb is having the time of his life😭🙏
Why does blud keep leaving his landing gear down. I'm pretty sure the tires would have popped by now because of the pressure difference in space....
yeah lol... KSP2 physics :P
I know right... Imagine if the devs add it......blud might be in a wee bit of trouble for that...
@@trainzderails2008 they also might have burnt up while he had them down for aerobraking.
Only a 14.7 psi difference between sea level and space, so they’d probably not pop. They’d definitely explode from the heat tho lol
They're actually just solid steel pucks coated in flextape, indestructible but not so great for the old runway
Wow this series is so nice! You are awesome good at making SSTO's
Thanks!! Still much to learn especially with KSP 2 SSTO's
LETS GO HE BACK
15:28 wow great way to retire from being a astronaut
Your jeb is lucky to retire, mine is just all alone on high kerbin orbit because he's too scared to break that one inch of solar panel that is blocking his way out
Anyone else here wanting props in ksp2?
OML now that you say that I would love that!
That's awesome!!! I did mine with a drop tank ;]
Thanks!! Smart, I'll probably do something similar when I return soon for the jet engine mission!
@@smooneychad Woo!
i always wonder how diffent we would all play if we would disable reloading and reverting to launch and wab . would be interesting :)
I would assume a very large amount of the playerbase would just not play it at all.
@@snottytoe6957 yeah, you mess one thing up and your mission is dead.
I can't imagine trying to do videos without quicksave/load, this mission would have ended with that unexpected explosion at high altitude on Laythe... realistic in a sad way, RIP the crew of "Mage 1"
Yeah I think I'll keep reverting and quickloading on so we all don't end up crying lol
I would die
Letttttttttttts goooooooo
Third love your vids btw
Anyone else think the end of foreshadowing something like orbital assembly?
I totally did not just spend the last 10 hours making an SSTO for building stations and colony vessels in LKO 👀
@@smooneychad todally I believe you
Seccond
I wish I could fly planes in KSP 😭
hi again
Howdy do!
@@smooneychad good, what about you?
@@MrBosszillaGaming Pretty good, tired tho! Just got done working on yet another big SSTO.
@@smooneychad I'm always tired, also working on my next video!
meow
I think the series is gettin Low Views right?
