“Guess who’s back, back again?” “Smooney’s back, put an unsafe exposed nuclear reactor on your civilian plane because kerbals need to eat their daily dose of radiation.”
Turned out to be really useful, though a tad bit slow. Might work on a tilt rotor version in the future 🤔 as for right now though it’s up in my discord server if anyone wants the craft file! :D
Your video was awesome. Don't pressure yourself too much about uploading frequently. You should be doing this because you're having fun. If you stop having fun, we'll likely stop having awesome videos.
Thanks! I’ll always take the quality over quantity approach, I could definitely get out weekly videos but they take much longer sometimes because I want them to be concise and entertaining. So if something isn’t ready in time it just isn’t ready, and in the end knowing I made something I’m actually proud of is definitely the most fun part!
That's not a massive runway, that's a realistic runway, _finally!_ :) At 2.5km, the KSC's runway is just over the bare minimum for widebody aircraft, (passenger airliners with 2 aisles,) and is well below the minimum for long-distance international widebody flights. The latter are reckoned to need 3.2km for landing and 4km for takeoff. It's no wonder there have been so many cases of single-stage to ocean. :) Everything in this one looks so good! Especially the Godwits. I'd love to know which mod provides the Roc's cargo bay parts; it's not obvious from the mod list.
Omg this is so goddam cool! I love all of the small parts of the ship, checking how they work and so on (Tho for the absolutely adorable helicopter, maybe a set of contrarotating rotors witha a pusher prop would help with the speed problem?)
I think it'd be cool to have side-mounted heli blades like an Osprey in VTOL mode, counter-rotating to help keep it stable. On the other hand, it looks like a Huey.
I was actually thinking about doing exactly this! Since I had made something similar a very long time ago ( here it is in an older short: th-cam.com/users/shortsmjAonLt04kY?si=5lbd_paWx48-sqPs ) would have been much more stable and A LOT faster, but ended going with the single rotor just because it seemed cool to do
Great video! I am glad you are back Those wheel physics Killed my Jeb after 12 successful landings for no reason whatsoever The kraken called him home 😢
Thanks, it’s good to be back! And my condolences for the loss of your Jeb, sounds like he had a good run! Maybe the way to go is catching planes out of midair, sounds easy enough…right? 😳
ALGO COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! welcome back smooney, hope alls been well, heard about last time, missed these! also, if you ever need to take another time away, do not at all feel bad about doing so!!!!!!!
Maybe if you were to add several layers of gears to the So-15, like how the AN-225 has 7-layers of rear gears and 2 parallel frontal gears, it'd help with the braking. As well as adding some general airbrakes would help with mid-air deacceleration
Current version (SO-15.7) has two parallel front gear and two sets of the largest back gear, as well as a parallel set of tail gear to prevent tail strikes since that was a design flaw of the first versions. I also added a second vertical stab and rudder ( you can see it on the last launches) and they can be deployed outward to act as air brakes, though this ended up not being optimal since you loose all yaw control 👀 it could probably use another set of gear and dedicated air brakes like you said though! Wish I could have included more of this stuff in the video! but it had to be left out due to how much we had to cover
"low and fast" to avoid bouncing but bouncing is caused only by vertical speed so a higher speed probably makes it easier to bounce simply because your angle of attack creates a much larger difference in vertical speed than with a slower landing.
I’m glad KSP content is alive and well. Have you ever tried the “after kerbin” mod? I wanted to try it but it says that the mod version is outdated so I’m not sure my current KSP version will actually run it but I don’t know for sure.
Yes! Actually the original concept for this series was going to be called “Inside” and was a IVA only play through in the After Kerbin pack surrounded by a few procedural star systems made with Infinite Discoveries. I remember that it worked pretty well despite being outdated but the blackrack clouds were are the wrong height ( I also had to tweak the sun flares from red giant kerbol) other than that everything worked great just decided to do a more familiar play through. I may revisit that though!
@@smooneychad I will have to try the mod! I absolutely LOVE the visuals and all of the different interesting planets in Beardy’s series with the mods so I think I’m going to try and put in the effort to make all those mods work together. Wish me luck, and I’d totally watch an after kerbin series if you happen to do one!
Maybe a mission could be making a base which collects rocket parts or material kits and specialized parts if you have mks so you can construct a base which just builds rockets on the surface on minmus for example and make that fission engine ship
That’s definitely the next step, this mission is exploration only but after this we’re gonna need to make a permanent base like that in order to progress farther!
@ mks is a little hard but a cool feature with it is planetary logistics which allows you to make multiple base and trade resources with each other including space stations in the soi of the planet with transport credits
yooo nice man, glad to hear you are getting a actual desktop, I have been stuck with laptops forever, I have had 2 desktops and they are both intel pentium and are just a pain. I for some reason have 6 laptops and only one of them is actually capable of running ksp at 30-40fps.
I think I may build up a more permanent presence around sarnus for both of those things, pitstop for missions to the far outer planets and dwarfs planets, as well as for missions to the rest of kcalbeloh. So sometime after that outer solar missions will be much more possible! As for time span, it’ll probably be similar amount of time for the arlac system (if I’m spelling that correctly) and then the rest of kcalbeloh, though all the new tech may speed things up significantly. As for the outer solar system, we’ll have to visit them eventually, just no idea when yet.
Dumb design decision of mine to make the thing identical to models used to showcase this very effect! The struggles with this begin in the next episode. Though it’s probably an unrealistic solution given the use of reaction wheels, getting it to hold prograde while spinning was able to ward the effect off. What would have really solved it was the original idea I had of spinning the arms separately of the ship on a beefy rotor or servo! Though I’m sure the kraken would have loved that…
There is? Its a stock effect I used (and just put Kerbals over lol) Edit: wait I see it “we’ll back soon” LOL my brain was filling the “be” in. Never trust stock footage I guess! 😂
Smooney chad how well does ksp with all these mods run and what are your specs? I rly want to get into this game and this information will help me know if i can. Btw love the content
if you're building a pc for ksp, then you'll need a beefy cpu. current best gaming cpu in the market (by a fairly wide margin) is the amd 7800x3d, however i suggest you hold off a tiny bit longer since its successor - the 9800x3d - should be coming out within a matter of days, and current benchmarks seem to show that it's even better than the 7800x3d and is poised to snatch the throne. I'd wait for it to come out then get it for a decent price (so waiting for demand to cool down a bit if it gets marked up due to supplies running out).
Most of the planes so far are required to endure lots of heat, and most of the airplane parts suck for this. Definitely make use of them in the future though for large cargo planes and the such
I stopped being surprised by these things when I learned there's an Athens in Georgia... never mind a Georgia in the USA! :) For a real weird one, there's a London in the Crimea (N coast of the Black Sea) and historical records of the English supplying troops to the Varangian Guards in Byzantium (S coast of the Black Sea). There's a theory that these are something to do with English lords who left England rather than submit to the Norman conquest.
Hey dude, I was wondering if you could try to make a like third or fourth generation version of the F 89. I’m not really good at doing that in space program first of all and I don’t know any other games where you can make that and I don’t know if I would have the skill to make it good in those either.
Lazypainter and T.U.R.D (textures unlimited recolour depot)(Also, if u have making history or breaking ground, there's a configuration for those parts in the T.U.R D forum page hidden below the stock recolour
@@smooneychad I absolutely want to see you recreate it. But I don't think it will do anything for you other than take up a load of money and time, haha. I can't imagine what you'd use it for either.
Can't be sure- but from your accent it sounds like you might be from my very rough area, so i hope that unexpected vacation wasn't due to Helene, and if it was i hope you're well. Lots of people losing homes near me :/
Perhaps a helicopter tutorial will help! I remember making one when I first got breaking ground that, I could have swore, the body spun more than the rotors lol
Yes,i could build this....IF MY PC COULD HANDLE KSP PROPERLY T^T FYI my pc lags when I'm kn prbit and look at Kerbin The only mod ive used is Kerbalism and like 2 or 3 quality of life ones WHEN I TRIED TO INSTALL A PLANETS EXPANSION MOD (idk which one was it) MY PC JUST SAID: *NO* it wouldnt load T^T I am getting a better pc bc i have the MONEY for it I WILL JUST TO DO EPIC SHIT LIKE THIS....and play VR chat :3.....when i eventually get that headset

Hell yeah
Fingers crossed there's consistent uploads after this
Next few should be pretty consistent if nothing IRL pops up
smooneychad is a effing chad
Least modded ksp game
Also i want that helicopter
It’s up in my discord now! (link in the description) wrote out a handy user guide too!
woo!!
challenge: taking off and landing a helicopter is too much work, make one that takes off and lands on a plane.
I might try this in the future! Would go well with a few other suggestions I got :o
I definitely watch a helicopter tutorial
