      Matt Lowne Considering you've done pretty much everything Stock has to offer, you should do Real Solar System, which is basically the ultimate KSP challenge

  • @xHIRTLIZER
    @xHIRTLIZER 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The best way for trucks and trailers on KSP (I haven't seen any videos) is use the Docking Arm (the claw) on the truck pointed horizontally, on the trailer allow for a large flat area. Then drive the truck grab on to the front of the trailer (with the back of the truck) then adjust the claw to 'free pivot mode' it might take some engineering to get weight balancing correct but the truck and trailer will have a 30' pivot
    Happy flying

    This SSTO is great fun to fly and it's stiff functional! Seems hard to make one like that nowadays.

  • @stevebenz9741
    @stevebenz9741 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video and fabulous premise! If you're looking for future video ideas, I'd love to see some proof of some of the points of spaceplane design. For example, I totally agree about the magic number of 400m/s for Rapier's. I've hit that more than once - I've got enough umph to get from 400m/s to orbit, but not enough to get from 0 to 400. I think some folks would learn from seeing that barrier demonstrated.
    One issue in particular I'd like to see proved is that Ramjets are useful on large SSTO's - I've made a few attempts at using them and, anecdotally and without any good way to measure, I don't agree. But my bet is that I'm just holding it wrong.
    Another one to explore is flight profiles. I think (with no real evidence) that a flat trajectory at 1500m/s in the upper atmosphere is not as good as an ascending one at 1400m/s at that altitude. (For me, my rule of thumb is a > 300m/s climb rate up to 60km) Whether that's really better or not is not clear to me. I know I get to orbit and you do too. The question is who gets there with the most stuff left over.
