I LOVE BlackRack’s volumetric clouds mod, in combination with all the other visual mods we have for Kerbal Space Program now, but one of the issues I have is that my missions often don’t really showcase them for very long, since rockets don't spend that much time below the clouds. So, I wanted to make a video featuring a plane, and fly through clouds and thunderstorms and all that good stuff! I'm super happy with how this one turned out, so I really hope you enjoy!

Hey Matt! What mods do you use for KSP? Would you be willing to do a video on that? This one is great so far btw!
hi matt has there been any news concerning ksp2 ? and one more question ksp1 has so many mods and that is ksp2 able to be modded like the massive improvements that ksp1 got from the modding community or are most modders just waiting and seeing if any devs takes up ksp2 ?
That was a nice segue in the video for the sponsor.
@@OmikronTitan32 mins ago!
@@Rob-el8ti bro. the studio is defunct. there is no news
11:42 "Drinks and snacks will be on the way shortly", proceeds to pull 11G right after
He presumably meant on their way back
@@CauliflowermuncherNo5634 lmao
"Shortly after the passengers regain consciousness"
Just wantedd to make sure that they weren't full 🤷♂
You gotta make them puke so they have room!
What's crazy is that Stratzenblitz did this but he actually got to orbit. He saved up angular momentum using unequal drag which added a torque and he used that to get into orbit.
Yeah, it's a great video, but a completely different mission goal. I wanted a craft that feels like it could hypothetically exist IRL (not throwing shade, that video is one of the GOAT)
@@MattLowne Yep, yours seems definitely more possible in real life. But you can make it more realistic...
The RSS Mod!
@@creativecarveciteclimb5684 I agree, I think that the Real Slim Shady mod can improve this design tenfold!
@@creativecarveciteclimb5684There is a Rainbow Six Seige mod for KSP? How would that help with more realistic aircraft?
@@draftymamchak rainbows exists, six is real number, and sieges has happened according to western history books and Tolkien.
I was blown away, literally, with the weather effects on Jool. I don't know how, but he extended how far you can go into the planet and it has some truly some insane sights and sounds. Also, Duna has dust storms periodically which are really neat too. HIGHLY recommend Blackrack's clouds if you have a few dollars to spare.
i uh “found” a link to it which im not gonna distribute, but the mod is so good im gonna sub to the patreon when i get the chance
My computer weeps...
Matt, I have a question, will you record yourself exploring a comet at some point? Since I've searched for "Matt Lowne comet" and the closest I've found was you capturing a magic asteroid and Danny2642 plugging the Mohole with a comet
Loved it! I wish I was this good at KSP lol, I still have a blast with it though I play with Real Solar System and I ended up modding all my engines to have much higher ISP so that I can actually get places plus mechjab, cause otherwise theres no way I could get any where with my skill level lol!
My funnest memory was when I realized that at some point I had sent a kerbal in a ship flying off into interstellar space for whatever reason, and years later being like oh no I need save that poor guy, by this time he was past Plutos orbit. Made a big ass spaceship and used mechjabs intercept mode to fly out and meet the poor kerbal and do a ship to ship transfer via EVA. Took like decades of time but what a sweet moment when i finally rescued the guy and then got him home after like 100 years drifting in space! I just wish I had recorded it :(
The black bars make sense on the second mission because otherwise you would see the and with the capabilities of to .
Given the Delta V you have on the plane, opting for a shallower ascend profile would allow for a faster orbital insertion for the payload, the only caveat being the return trajectory, forcing to complete the world around tour like a antipodal bomber, like the Germans wanted to do or like Pr Mortimer's Swordfish tactical nuke bomber.
BTW, I tried to recreate it in KSP and it works very well as an Antipodal aircraft, with insane TWR, one normal engine the one that can switch between subsonic and post combustion), half of the fuselage being empty cylinders, that thing can easily circumnavigate Kerbin, alterning between thrust pushes and gliding descents. I also made the cockpit detachable like in the comics. Of course my prototype had no payloads. And as it has no landing gear, it needs a rocket assisted take off from a stageable stability girder and then drops the sepatrons (ModPods or I don't remember which mod with a similar name) had a smaller radial decoupler that was very useful for that).
Of course to avoid stalling in turns, the engine nozzle must be have thrust vectoring disabled.
It's impressive how little delta-V the payload needed to achieve orbit from using a jet plane as first stage.
Also well done with the design, it's sort of elegant.
KSP jet engines are underrated. Love the content with planes or in-atmosphere missions!
6:17 is Crazy how those 2 kerbals were Freaking out and 1 of them were not happy
Matt, try a circular descent from orbit, but also down to the approach end of the runway. This is how it's done if an emergency descent to a point is required. Also a stabilized approach starting at around 2000meters about 2km from the runway should allow enough time to bleed speed and approach at Vref and land smoothly.
15:56 kerbal jumpscare ;-;
liked my own comment lol ._.
@@spinspins925 Kudos for honesty :D
How does your game look so good?
Over the years your video quality has improved a lot, along with the graphic mods.
Can we please get a tidy list of the mods you are using?
[Especially for the graphical ones :p. Thanks!]
12:44 2 anvil clouds in a row?
WOW VERY RARE
Hahaha I love the little chuckle when you were talking to the “tourist” about how the snacks would be coming shortly
Awesome craft and vid! Just wanna mention that (as tested by VAOS) 1 shock cone intake can power UP TO 4 RAPIERS! (just have to throttle gradually so you dont flame-out at takeoff)
So you theoreticaly could use just 2 intakes to power the whole plane and cut a bit of mass and drag by using nose cones!
Currently staying at a hotel in Iceland and this was on the recommended without me being signed in! No escaping Mattrick Lowne
Can’t wait to watch it after I come home
No signal up in space?
I agree
Cant wait to watch it when im back at base :/
You are never watching this. You are on an escape trajectory out of the sun using the fartsmeller 69
My crew called him "JebiDead" after the "De-orbit day incident"
Hey Matt! I think a series where you explore various planet packs and interstsllar travel mods would be awesome! Cheers!
Two mods could've been very interesting for this video
1:a mod for extra launch sites, allowing launching from "Somewhere Airfield" and landing "Area Elsewhere". Technically could've been from desert airfield to KSC but runaways alignment is not the ideal
Two: FMRS mod to, as the name suggests, manage the flights of the reusable stages. Essentially it allows you to fly your payload to orbit and then go back in time to land the plane. Bonus: would've been easier to follow fuel efficient trajectories.
Technically, you could just use a quick save, recover the plane, quick load delivery then payload and pretend both things happened in the same "timeline".
I'm so glad you still get views. Haven't watched in a while, especially since ksp2. I'm getting the ksp itch again though, and it's great that the the Matt Lowne aspect is still thriving.
Really love the "live commentary part"! It would be good if you did more videos like this, you wouldn't have to explain afterwards what you did or what happened exactly. Maybe you could add a little text on the screen indicating when your voice is live recorded with the footage
Correct me if I’m wrong but 26:38 Matt you need to engage the brakes for them to work, that’s why you overshot on the first launch. If you had it to a action group then ignore this
This is actually a perfect example of how I believe spaceplanes are meant to work IRL.
It's certainly easier to make suborbital flights.
@@eekee6034 I mean taking a jet above the karman line and throwing a tiny rocket out to get into orbit while the plane comes down.
@@headforscienceit's possible to make a spaceplane that gets into orbit, but RnD would cost so much and take so long it would be meaningless.
@@DrakyHRTthats not what theyre suggesting. Theyre saying its easier to do it same as the video shows
Your flight path is basically how I recover first stage boosters in my career saves! Tho the idea of using a plane as the first stage and flying it back in another arc back to the space center seems *really* tempting hmmm
Also a tip, might help others or maybe this is my weird brain, but when landing back at the runway, I try to target a "virtual runway" in my mind that extends far past the actual one so that when I inevitably glide a ways for landing, I still hit the runway instead of overshooting it.
I end up flying at like 90m for the last couple km. The scariest part is setting it down.
8:44 ayoooo!!! Matt chill dude 😂
Thanks for the video! Thought about doing this myself, so it’s nice to have some ideas about how to proceed.
"I'm doing a bit right now."
I legitimately laughed out loud. Nicely done.
Really cool design as always. If you took off from the desert runway, wouldn't you land quite close to the ksc? That could make the flight a bit easier to land
Great video Matt!
I'm just getting back into KSP after years away, would you mind posting your complete mod list so I can replicate those gorgeous visuals and any other essentials? Much appreciated!
More live videos Matt. It’s so much better. We get the live reactions and if you have to quick save, we do it too! I know there’s a perfect product and the timeless hours spent creating that… so just give us some live no cuts (except for space shit cuz that takes forever like always) but you know what I mean. We love the live commentary.
If the Idea was "No oxidizer", couldn't you do the circularization burn with Ion or nuclear engines?
yeah even i didnt think about that ._.
Instantly thought nuclear engines would show up. Using them to get the last kick into space. And even more important, to have something to come back down.
I thought of ion engines because I've tried to make that exact combination, but it's hard. But I was fascinated by the practical use of suborbital flight, anyway.
@@eekee6034 Ion engines dont make nearly enough thrust for this application, ion engines are only really good for interobirtal maneuvers
@@wills.5762 It can be done if you're crazy like Bradley Whistance or Stratzenblitz75. I don't think you can do it without aero exploits though; you have to get the drag waaay down.
There used to be (and may still be) a 'bug' where if you closed the air intakes it would starve your jet engines (obviously), but when you opened them again, the jet engines would get one last burst, as if the inlets 'held' some air in them. Someone once used this to get into orbit with only jet engines. He got his apo high enough, and his peri was high, then when he hit apo, he re-opened the inlets, the engines spit out a tiny bit of thrust, but it was enough to raise his periapsis just enough to get into orbit, so it IS possible to do.
I'm hoping Matt will give the OPT spaceplane continued mod a go in the near future. Those parts are something else.
love that the "top secret military mission" still had tourists
The weather looks cool and I think you could also get a good video about the clouds at Jool, like send a prob down into Jools cloud layers. 👍
Wow, that's a really cool design for a plane!
Matt: “Let’s talk to our esteemed guests!”
Me: “Oh no.”
2:39 how many engines do you need :The people at KSP:Y E S
volumetric clouds weather is amazing.
In my own time I once went up to the north pole and flew through a snowstorm. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but there was violent wind that threw the craft around
Either the plane lost control due to control surfaces being weird, or u had a wind mod installed
@@alexb-mc4jo I don’t think I had a wind mod, but it was cool nonetheless
23:32 should’ve kept the black bars
next up: duna and back with only srb's
Bro is not strazenblitz
Matt is not one for challenges
then you need to choose a vary specific time and angel to reach the target orbit which leads to the duna atmosphere. sounds interesting and tricky
the mods look so great, could you do another video of all of them instaling?
Beautifully done! Thank you for sharing.
Your segue (sponsor transition) was so natural that it caught me off guard
that could have been so much better if you did a shallow ascent to get a lot faster at ~25 km altitude, to the point that your apoapsis is on the opposite side of kerbin. Then it would only take a little bit of fuel for the station to get into orbit, and you would end up pretty close to the KSC
the kerbal military got quite unlucky by launching exactly on the one moment in the entire decade a rainstorm happened in the desert...
True that! XD
8:20 this has been a very charming video, Matt. Thank you for a cute and entertaining video. Love pilot voice Matt.
My ignorance to what the go is with starship is hilarious. "THEY LANDED ONE?"
I once managed a stable Kerbol orbit using only jet engines and intake air. I was using the scramjet from one of the MK2 mods lol but it was difficult keeping it in atmosphere long enough to get up above escape velocity. it was mostly radiators.
I never thought of using the mk2 bicoupler like that. Good inspiration for my builds
Looks like a swing-wing aircraft, looks pretty good. Getting some Arkbird vibes from it
Hello, Matt! Lovely video as always. I found the ignition sequence especially fantastic and satisfying. Quick question though: what Shabby pre-set are you using or, if you aren't using a pre-set, do you plan on releasing one/could you share your settings? I love the way your shader settings look, they're almost understated and stock-alike (I guess) but very pleasing to the eye. Thanks in advance!
All you need to do is have the satellite automatically circularize with KOS so you can just hit "go" on the detachment of the satellite and fly the plane yourself
This was a great mix of live and post commentary
Is there a complete list of mods that Matt is using? Everything looks stunning
Stockalike station parts redux(and it's iva mod), volumetric clouds mod, freeiva, deferred rendering, restock, restock waterfall, hud replacer with Ztheme, kerbal engineer redux, parallax 2.0,
matt never fails to make me amused by the size of the landing gear he uses
I love how the community evolved KSP into their own KSP2~
So, I've done this before, but with modded engines. There's a semi-realistic SCRAMJet engine pack available for the game, it's extremely overpowered but you have to get up to around mach 2 or 3 to even be able to use them in the first place. Thing is, it's overpowered mostly because Kerbin is tiny, and I'm sure they'd work well in an RSS modpack.
They actually vanish below 20km attitude but maneuver-wise i'd recommend to go back to jet at 50km, 70km is over-safe
4:35 Will you be playing KSA? Kitten Space Agency? It's a spiritual sucessor to KSP and a good chunk of the developers from the original team are on it!
Ask smooneychad for some advice. I'm sure he's more than happy to help an ambitious rookie in spaceplanes like yourself!
smooneychad mentioned?
🤣
Median salary means nothing when you can't get hired for an entry level position without 5-10 years of experience in software... my BS in CS sure is making that median salary look amazing after a year and a half of job searching...
"BARRY KERMAN". Thanks for that.
Whoa! Coincidence! Or was it?
@@eekee6034 insert VSauce theme
these weather effects are absolutely insane
What all mods did you use in this video, Id love to have my game look like that!
You hae to pay for the clouds/weather mod, sadly, I hate Greedy people......
@@IsaacDaSaxaphonegreedy? Dude spent so much time to create this mod just to release it for nothing?
@@mrtoast4554 Yes. Otherwise, it shouldn't have been created. Sarcasm or not decide for yourself :)
@@IsaacDaSaxaphoneyou are just ungrateful, much like most of the people that use mods in any game, the work that was done to create this mod is absurd, instead of congratulating the person you judge, how sad.
Mod list: Stockalike station parts redux(and it's iva mod), volumetric clouds mod, freeiva, deferred rendering, restock, restock waterfall, hud replacer with Ztheme, kerbal engineer redux, parallax 2.0,
blackrack's patreon exclusive EVE pack is a game changer. Literally changes the entire game.
Matt, your plane designs keep amazing me.
Captain Slow got to fly in a Dragonlady?
Aw man I gotta find that video. That sounds hilarious.
I started a new career save. It's crazy how hard the game is at start. Also I'm using TAC. So taking tourists sucks because they use electric charge and I didn't have batteries! I don't have to land with EC, but you only get an hour before people die.
Top Secret mission but of course we couldn't leave Barry behind!
3:12 Me everytime a new Matt Lowne KSP video drops
6:44 fun to see those two as tourists themselves
That plane looks awesome! Like something out of Speed Racer!
As soon as you said "TV show" I knew you were talking about James May flying in a U2. That video is fantastic.
i swear these ksp1 mods are insane
A video where Bill and Bob actually survive.
That weather mod is amazing.
With these volumetric clouds weather effects, do the storms also snow at high altitudes or near the poles? It'd be cool to see a flight (or rover trip) through a driving snowstorm
Yeah, there's snowstorms at the north and south pole
That reminds me of Starflight One!
I guess that has been reenacted in KSP multiple times already ;)
You should to a mission through jools new subsurface cloudlayers added by blackracks clouds
Mod list for everyone: Stockalike station parts redux(and it's iva mod), volumetric clouds mod, freeiva, deferred rendering, restock, restock waterfall, hud replacer with Ztheme, kerbal engineer redux, parallax 2.0,
I'll be saving that list.
I sure Floydson would love this game
Love the clouds and the plane!
Can you put some captions when building your ships so we can see exactly what parts are being used? I really like building my own ships and figuring out how the different physics but sometimes navigating the immense part Library is time consuming to say the least.
Bary very clearly is a high ranking member of the Ministry of Defense on a scout flight the first time and on overwatch on the second one
it looks a lot like a bone, should've used swingwings to complete it
as a pilot, this is exactly what it feels like flying low in bad vis looking for the runway
You should start doing planet packs mods such as kcabelloh and opm quack pack is pretty neat too
I thought its going to orbit i was like ... Damn lowne aerospace going broke now
This video combines well with the recent update to Terra Invicta allowing us to field Low Orbit Fighter planes
Matt:we landed on the runway
Reality:landed on grass
bought volumetric clouds, lost all my files, bought it again. no regrets.
or you could find them on page two of google searches
nope. The black bars are 100% better than the annoying crop
and on most displays there are black bars anyway because the aspect ratio isnt perfect
I preferred the crop because too many buttons and other details annoy me. But I wouldn't have been happy if I'd wanted to see something in the staging display, so I don't know.
@@eekee6034 The buttons getting cut off is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
@@awilliams1701 Ohhh. I get that, though didn't feel it this time.
Blackrack mod is my favorite mod ever. I spend so much time circling storm systems. Well worth the 5 bucks
omg big sciota on the background my favorite
Its really fine without the crop.
i´d preferr seeing all the ui vs the black lines
Hey it’s the guy that commented on Shadowzones ksp video!
@3:19 "I didn't design this plane and then build it again and film it; I just sort of winged it..." [rimshot] - Nice pun🤣
