At the very worst, you should be able to dock the space plane to the carrier plane on the runway and have each person control one of ships like that. Hopefully, 2 people controlling 2 different parts of a ship will be easier than that though.
There is no way they will ever get multiplayer figured out and optimized. At this point I am not sure they can optimize after 4 years. Add in multiplayer which only unoptimizes more, doubtful they will get it figured out.
@@gsamelon it's on the roadmap, after interstellar travel. They also claimed to have figured out how time warp will work with multiplayer so I have hope they'll get a mostly functional product out to us
Your passenger announcements reminded me of the best private pilot briefing I ever heard: "In the event of an emergency before V1, we will abort the takeoff and troubleshoot the problem. In the event of an emergency after takeoff, we will attempt to deal with the problem until we arrive either back at the runway, or at the scene of the crash."
I have an idea for your next video! You can actually land on Jool at the moment, can you do something with that please? I know how hard it is to battle Kraken while flying interplanetary, but please, do it for one more time
mat, ive found that in the new VAB if you separate the vessels you can see their individual deltaV and thrust ratio. the game treats any thing that is not connected in the same work area as diferent vessels. so you could just built the carrier plane and the payload separated and have their individual specs. same aplies for rockets. building differet stage sparately to have theirs repective deltaV and Thrust ratio
I was going to say that. I noticed that right away and it's a nice thing. Just separate your stages and the one marked as active for launch is the one you will see thrust and deltaV data for.
I actually had a good session of KSP2 last night. Landed on the Mun (badly) and returned (barely). The frame rate wasn't great at times, but the only real bug I could see was the complete lack of orbit tracks starting when I took off from the Mun. Also my Mum flag was the default KSP one even though it clearly remembered my selected agency flag.
The magnetic boots you mention remind me of an old kerbal 1 overhaul mod that made it so you had to do more research to be able to send kerbals to space, starting with very limited probes. You would research the space suits and the thrusters for the kerbals. A similar feature with the magnetic boots would be nice.
I think I know the mod you're talking about, and if I'm right, there's a Scott Manley video about it... but all I remember is that the title of the video (and potentially the mod) reminded me of Better than Wolves (the name of an old Minecraft mod).
@@akiranara6404 yeah. I remember that scot manley video. The mod was a lot of fun. More challenging, but at the sa.e time kind of less grindy. I didn't get too far. But it really felt like i was doing diferent things every mission.
I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying the in-flight announcements. Would not be disappointed if they became a regular feature! Top content, good sir 👍
"Pro" tip: use empty crew modules on any carrier planes you separate for these sorts of builds, and put probe cores on the carrier plane for control if you need it
As far as planes go, the wobble / wiggle is probably a bit more realistic, especially for extended wings. It'd be a lot more pronounced sped up as well.
It would be a lot more realistic if the control surfaces didn't snap to 100% deployed with every tap of the controls. That's a common keyboard control issue, but it's made worse by the untuned SAS giving bumpies to the crew. :P
For anyone struggling to fight the part manager window lag. Do the following: open parts manager and drag the window off to the very edge of the screen. This will save you from accidentally opening it and it works in-flight, as well as in the VAB.
@@jarateman6427 yeah because ksp2 has the same resources and development process of ksp1 made by squad, a company that wasn’t even a game producer and was a marketing company in Mexico that did it to appease a vocal employee.
When the RCS pack stops working, press the RCS button on screen and it should then work - I had the same issue before and that fixed it for me, hopefully it'll work for you - this should also work for SAS too
I love the concept. My first attempt at the weekly challenge was more of 747 mounted rocket. I Kraken'd out, and will have to give it another shot later.
I gotta admit, I never played KSP alot. One can say that KSP2 made me get into KSP1 more in the recent days... and I finally get all the sympathy for Valentina Kerman :)
If you can get both craft outside atmosphere, this technically works. the launch vehicle just has to be in space long enough for the payload to make stable orbit, then you swap back and fall into atmosphere.
I love Captain Matt Lowne speeches. I guess it is a good exercise for you to learn to talk on a more pleasant pace and tone, so British ! (and playing on the Aeroplane ! movie tone a bit as well...) About multiplayer, it will all depend on how players and command imput will be managed. When two crafts from two players dock to eachother, who commands the craft? (managing commanding priority like in KSP 1 on the craft names? So you could imagine a carrier plane from one player, the space plane from the other designed to be docked to eachother on the runway, carrier plane cames to dock to the spaceplane, takes off and jettisons the spaceplane at the right moment, normally the space plane player should regain control and continue on his merry way, like the carrier...
It feels like most of the devs haven't played the original for more than a few hours. They just seem completely oblivious to what made KSP special, much less what made it work.
Honestly yea. And what makes it more, frankly just weird. Is one of the devs said they played it too much during development, to the point it took some time away from development. And honestly I just can't believe that. If they played it that much, a good amount of these bugs would've been caught.
@@Lakita2880 I saw that same video and haven't stopped thinking about it since then when seeing KSP 2 footage. There's no way the state this game is in is causing productivity issues because they're "having too much fun."
Just imagine, multiplayer will make this feasible. We will be able to have a player control each simultaneously. and that's just the start. Simultaneous launch orbital assembly? Staying in or close to formation on ascent will make rendezvous a breeze! Im already thinking of things right now. make a two or three part mothership, then the rest of the launches for surface base, rovers, and shuttles. Once you park in orbit, ya send everything down at launch. I hope someone does a dynamic weather mod. I'd love to recreate The Martian with friends. God im so impatient and cannot wait. Oh and uh, loved the video and have a like!
I can't believe you play the game at such a low framerate. That would drive me nuts! I guess it's worth it because you can speed up the footage and the game looks its best. I'm glad the game behaved this time! It's good to see that not everything is broken.
Hopefully, incase the player doesnt have any friends like me, youll be able to controll 2 different vessels in a sort of replay system. So you set the point, then you control one and do what ever, than go back to the point and control the other while the first on does what you told it to
I think you should play KSP2 with setting that make the game play with decent frame rate for you. You are the one playing it and it should be a good experience for you. The video will still look good for us watching.
You should probably disable pitch controls for the main wings matt. That's why your plane doesn't pitch up and down properly, as the control surfaces of the main wings deploy and kinda act as airbrakes. Great vid as always 👍👍
I have noticed that sometimes you have to change the throttle to an active amount (1-100% throttle) to actually use the EVA thrusters on the Kerbin spacesuit. Also, it is nice to see that the manual quicksave feature is working for some people. Mine will not show up in load save screen, only the games auto-quicksaves.
13:20 I honestly don't know HOW the developers thought that wobbly rockets would be a good idea. It's either that or they didn't know and both of those seem really unlikely to me. Like did they never once try to build a big rocket on the final build? Just one large rocket and they would've seen how much of a problem the wobbling is.
An aircraft built like that using the same kind of stability assists would flex and "wobble" that way, though. Granted that's how it should be without strutting the craft and it would be extreme without it. You should fly without SAS if you want to avoid the wobble, or at the least disable it when making course corrections and re-enable it to hold. to combat nose dips when changing course I set my control surfaces for pitch to an override angle, usually just a degree or two, then SAS isn't necessary and no more wobble.
15:20 Ive been feeling like the biggest source of bugs has been the timewarp 0x Ofcourse, its strictly necessary since you almost have to pause physics everytime you want to drudge through parts-manager or resource-manager to do ANYTHING AT ALL.
One thing that I think would be cool once they fix some of the frame rate issues and joint rigidity issues would be making one of these launchers big enough that it spans across the two runways.
Loving the KSP2 content so far! Good to see how broken the game is, but it's also good to remember how broken the original was at first. I might do a video seeing how it acts on my laptop, assuming the machine doesn't explode from fear before I install it.
At 2:10 it's clear that you still have your ailerons set to also pitch. Its pushing the aircraft down and also slowing it down. See alot of content creators doing the same thing. Canards are not a solution, setting up the control surfaces correctly help tremendously.
Hope a buggy KSP2 doesn't impact your ability to make content. I'm a new subscriber. You see it often enough where bad game releases impact content viewership. Like this guy's video if you like it, keep him relevant in the algos'
I want Matt Lowne to be my pilot next time I fly. He is very good at helping the passengers know what to expect.
so its basically "what if we taped two planes together and then strapped another plane to it for even more plane"
"Yo dawg, I heard you like planes, so I put a plane in your plane so you can fly while you fly"
Look up SpaceShipTwo, and WhiteKnightTwo 😝
"Where'd you get that plane?"
"Uhh... it fell off a plane. You know, a plane plane..."
"so i made a plane in a plane and detached the plane from the plane so i could fly the plane"
Plane-ception
Matt. Listen. WE NEED MORE OF ANNOUNCEMENT-MATT! 😂
I love this. You continue to make my day with every new video you publish lately. ❤️❤️

(Reminds me of the Blunderbirds intro :) )
Ngl it really made my day
YEEES!
This!!
Super impressive work. Thanks for sharing, Matt!
Keep working on ot
You better be working overtime buddy
Ww ksp is here.
You can read my mind. I was about to look about planes in KSP 2 and this pops out! Thank you, Matt!
There is no way that you watched the video before you posted this comment
@@allentan2312 no, but i posted it bc i saw title and thumbnail about plane
Spaceplanes are awesome right!?
YES! honestly, I love this concept. Flying a rocket plane up really high and then dropping it to kick it in to overdrive. It's like a movie scene
If ophthalmology does not work out for Matt, I believe he has excellent career prospects with Ryanair. Those announcements were delivered perfectly.
If you can't let your friends fly your ships in multiplayer then the devs would be making a massive mistake
At the very worst, you should be able to dock the space plane to the carrier plane on the runway and have each person control one of ships like that. Hopefully, 2 people controlling 2 different parts of a ship will be easier than that though.

Yes! Land on Jool! I'm trying to do that myself but my budget laptop is really struggling. I have to set aside a block of many hours to play.
@@MattLowne Exciting :D
To stop EVA from making your crafts accelerate/roll etc. I've found that pausing time, going EVA, then playing time will help quite a lot :)
If it's anything like EVA in KSP 1 when there's a part near the ladder/hatch, what worked for me was disabling SAS on the ship immediately before EVA
those "captain talking" was awesome, make more of it,.. or dont you are captain after all :D keep up good work matt
Matt: hyped for easy subassemblies
Also Matt: doesnt use easy subassamblies

I loved the in-flight commentary, it added a nice ambiance. We'd love to hear more of it in future videos!!!!
I am still getting Kraken attacks. Can't wait till they fix some of the bugs
Workaround for the dV problem - mark the space plane as the launch assembly temporarily.
The magnetic boots you mention remind me of an old kerbal 1 overhaul mod that made it so you had to do more research to be able to send kerbals to space, starting with very limited probes.

hopefully QoL and performance is well fixed before 2 years... I dont mind ksp2 for now not that laggy really on my pc just a bit barebones thats all
