It's awesome that they continue to release KSP updates, even when KSP 2 is in development. And yes, I know it is basically 2 different companies doing the games, but still.
mods have your back my dude, but yes I agree it would be nice for some stock options. Possibly with the ability to toggle between "flat base" mode for surface stations and "rounded" for orbital stations
In the future, people will see this and be like “What, the drain valve has been here for years, why is he hyping it like that” “Kerbin has always been like this.”
Matt, the landers you make always inspire me to build my own. You do a good job, really. I think you encouraged many people to start their adventure with KSP.
James Kerman I’m right there with you. I’ve been watching year old videos for about a week, just strolling through the Matt Lowne archives then this appears in my feed, and I’m even later than you.

@@jackeldridge1319 The turbopump exhaust goes into the combustion chamber only in the case of a staged combustion cycle engine (like the RS-25 from the Space Shuttle) or in an expander cycle engine (like the RL-10). In the case of the Mainsail, I guess it's a gas generator cycle because the gases produced by the generator go to the turbopump and then overboard. This happens because the gas generator operates at a different mixture ratio than the thrust chamber in order not to stress the turbine too much. The exhausts of the generator is thus incompatible with the mixture in the main chamber
Yes, it is AESTHETICALLY more similar to DeltaIV - however in that part of the commentary I was referring to the cross-feed feature of the original FH design concept.

6:26 You guessed absolutely right, the Vulcain is a gas generator cycle engine and these are the exhaust pipes for the turbo pump exhaust. The two little nozzles are just there to get a bit of extra push from the remaining pressure of that gas, making the engine just a little bit more efficient. I'm not sure though as to why there are two of them, maybe it's just to keep the thrust symmetrical or there are separate turbines for the fuel and oxidizer fuel pumps respectively.
it’s more like the delta IV, also had 3 cores, had similarly shaped engines, only had 1 engine per core instead of 9, had orange tanks bc it was using hydrolox (the orange colour is caused by the insulating foam) and it had cross feeding which the falcon heavy did not end up using, so it’s in every way a lot more similar to the delta IV heavy rather than the falcon heavy
I said it's similar to the "original design" falcon heavy because of the cross-feed feature - the deltaIV does not have crossfeed. Yes it is also similar to the DeltaIV but that's not what I was drawing attention to.
When I see your intro without the old intro music I actually get a migrane shit is so engraved into my brain that it triggers my very fiber when I don't hear it.
Wizzalien Do you know what an actual migraine is? I’m asking because I experience real migraines very often and something like that cannot trigger a migraine...
Was just planning to watch a few minutes, but turned into the whole thing. Thanks for keeping me entertained all the way to the end with the whisky review! :)
If I understand your question correctly, the tubes are the exhaust of the generator. Usually they create almost no thrust, since most of the gas work (А) is spent on rotating the turbine. Если я правильно понял твой вопрос, трубки - это выхлопные трубы генератора. Обычно выхлопные газы генератора почти не создают тяги, так как большая часть их работы затрачивается на вращение турбины.
Gotta say this was a good 10/10 whiskey review video, I don’t trust anyone else who reviews whiskey. Adding a tiny bit of ksp for the background of these videos also spices them up. Good work
Matt I think your talking about the fuel pump that are the two smaller nozzles on the mainsail. Most engines got one for example the merlin 1D by SpaceX. Its like another smaller engine that uses rocket power to spin the turbine so fuel will keep on flowing to the main combustion chamber and those small nozzles is where they dump the exhaust.
I love the new fuel drains for balancing space shuttles prior to reentry. I pack extra fuel for orbital maneuvers or heavy payloads. Then dump nearly all of it as I’m de-orbiting because it glides and lands better when not carrying 5 tons of fuel. I just keep a tiny bit of monoprop for RCS in the upper atmosphere
A cool fact about the drain valve is that it produces a little bit of thrust when you use it. Imagine having a perfect encounter and then you thought to dump some fuel or oxidizer between interplanetary space and Bang! you mess up your encounter.
Just discovered your channel. This is awesome! I watched Kurtjmac back in the day and i didn't think anyone played this anymore. Gonna watch your entire series now from the start!
A few days ago I also tried to fly to Dres with a probe. I failed the maneuver, so I flew accidentally to Jool and did some scans of the gas giant and Laythe. A success in my eyes.
One more thing KSP needs: docking ports that have the option to transfer all fuel/oxidizer in, or transfer all out. It will find ANY tanks available to drain/fill from one side of the port to the other (with some way of avoiding infinite loops of course).
I agree on the clouds. Even a single 2D layer of clouds high up would add a LOT to the sense of scale of ascending from the surface, and to the overall look and realism of the bodies with atmosphere.
I don't normally rate one launcher over another, but today I realised this is my favourite non-SSTO launcher. The IVA view while cruising past the mothership was great! :D I think this might be my favourite Matt Lowne video, which is saying quite a lot. If I haven't liked or commented on it before, it's because it was one of the very first Matt Lowne videos I watched, way back in the _dark_ and _lonely_ days before I signed in to TH-cam. XP 10:15 Oh, hi Matt! XD The screenshot moments are the best! :D Especially the reentry one. Ah, so this was the one with the review of B̴̢̢̔͜ȩ̴͖̓̀l̵̡̗̘̙̋͝ḷ̶́s̶̬̰̾̓̆̈́.

@@draco5991rep yeah I KNOW right? no one understeands my genius, fortunately the internet boyz are there to correctly intrepretate the true meaning of my deep thoughts
I vote Quad Copter! I tried to build one and, in theory, everything should work fine. The rotors I chose are plenty powerful but I have no clue if the propellers are too big, or the design is flawed some how. Hell I might have even put the propellers facing the wrong way on the rotors... I don't actually know how to use them at all and it would be really handy if you could make some more videos on the robotics themselves.
You should so a video talking about how to create rockets good rockets and create the most efficient Maneuvers possible. I think a lot of new - medium skilled players (me) would benefit from that.
Scott Manley taught me how to make spaceplanes that would fly stable etc, he's extremely KSP intelligent, but then one day I started seeing Matt Lowne vids about KSP , and they're intelligent and funny
I'm on console so stock clouds would be amazing. I watch vids then get excited go play and I'm a bit bummed because it doesn't look nearly as cool often and there's lots of hugs on console that make building harder with restarts.
Matt : "Didn't check my staging" Me : Ah ah, noob!!! Me earlier : shit I forgot to check my staging... Again Also me earlier : did I really forgot to add chutes to this rocket… Again
Matt: ditches faring before circularization for the sake of not endangering orbital wildlife. Also Matt: ditches four nuclear engines on reentry course because why the hell not xD
Being greater than 1 year since this was posted, I could technically be watching this video "years" down the line. That comment of yours in the video was so meta. Made me feel things.
“We have that beautiful shot of 3... (two boosters detach) we have a beautiful shot of that ONE mainsail...”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Love the videos, been subbed for a year and you never cease to make me laugh 😂
I just watched your video from a year ago about how to beat ksp in a video shorter than 10min. Matt why are you the second greatest person in the universe only after Jim from The Office
I'd love to see you accomplish what Charlie Pryor attempted with his Conquering Kerbal Space Program series. His goal was to get a self sufficient base on every planetary body in the ksp solar system. He never came close to finishing it. I would love to see you make an attempt at it. TH-cam needs that kind of ksp play through. Would you ever consider doing that kind of play through?
After all these new features over the years i still cant believe we dont see the engines exhaust cone out as it leaves the atmosphere, and would be a fairly easy program to add, just change the % size depending on the atmosphere
Crashing the lander on Dres could have been a good show for the sismic analyser use.... And some fuel saving for the return, too! Beware of dumping fuel away! It makes a little thrust (hey! it's basicaly a RTS, after all!) that can blow a faraway node!
The extended burn time indicator is not smarter. It really just takes half the burn time and subtracts that from the maneuver node time. You can also change it so it takes another fraction instead of 50%. And it has been around for at least a year.
I've seen someone make really nice animated water which i think had bump maps too using just kopernicus - it would be amazing if the ksp devs could add something like that in.
You make these incredible sized and great looking rockets without any worry about flipping during ascent... teach me your ways, Master Lowne. I humbly request your wisdom.
You could have used that upper stage for at least a portion of the ejection burn in addition to circularization and leave some fuel to send it into a Kerbin collision. Or circularize with it and then have it deorbit itself
Extremely pleasant voice to listen too. That landing I the canyon had me rolling. Love that land feature. Not sure if it’s proper to call geographic feature off the planet. I think geo is Greek for earth. Yeah definitely topographical
I usually put relay antennas on things like landers that I'm going to return to orbit. My relay networks aren't well placed but there are a lot of them.
