Really cool design. I've found the shuttle style space planes to be the most fun for me. Except I like to try and make them capable of a runway takeoff. Which I've managed to get to work on all but the largest designs. I think 3 XL cargo bays is my design that was just too much for any of the landing gear in the game. I was able to make it work with large rover wheels but it was definitely a strange design.
I should do more shuttles tbh, not having to worry so much about drag is very good for more outlandish designs :P That sounds like a pretty insane build xD i cant imagine having to use rover wheels for a plane.
*MAGNIFIC!!!* Loved the concept, design, execution, dude, congratulations! I can't wait for KSP2 to finally get stable enough so we can actually enjoy it, crossing my fingers.
Dude, that is EPIC level engineering! I've been avoiding SSTOs in KSP 2 so far, because even rockets are tricky enough with all the glitches and kraken attacks. To build what you built... man, I'm impressed! I love that stall speed and I love how well balanced it is on the single lift engine. I'm waiting for my replacement new processor to arrive (long story), once that gets here, and after this Wednesday's patch, I think I must start building SSTOs...
I would suspect the engine spazing is due to the engine root being to close to the center of gravity. KSP uses the orientation of the part root to the CG to determine vector direction.
i commented on another video of your about how i struggle with putting parts together but I may have forgotten this mode in build mode but how do you access that 2D mode
To fix the vector bug you can set the gimbal limit to 0 on the vector. I think that there's no point having gimballing VTOL engines unless they are away from the center of mass and have 2 or more balancing them.
I do enjoyed the video, well done! However, little bit disappointed on KSP2 for not having reentry heating. (or robotic parts for that matter but it came to KSP with DLC as well).. But the reentry heating.. Man! I have to keep modding my KSP to look like 2.
With that out of the way, for Mars landings (KSRSS) I usually pitch up till velocity becomes low enough to handle, then start to do a smooth butterfly burn (as i call it) and powerland. The craft stays lighter that way and lets you spend less kerbucks. Fly safe ;)
just spam it until you get lucky with the right orientation lol. I literally got thousands of hours in ksp and i still dont know which way to turn parts xD
my issue was that it would only let me rotate sometimes but not always sorry for not clearifying that i was still kinda angery about that and frustrated
Dont think there is much you can do about it atm. This thing is an absolutely brick aerodynamically, thats the main reason why i went with a shuttle vs an ssto.
fps largely depends on the specific build. The shuttle isnt very part intensive, so i was getting pretty good fps as a result :P I got a 3070ti and 5800x3d
Revisiting the video a year later, I realised bro just casually replicated the RSI Zeus of Star Citizen even before it was released! This game had a LOT of Potential! Sad to see it Cancelled! 🥺
@ atleast with Star Citizen, there is hope (though long term) Atleast I hope the upcoming Kitten Space Agency (KSA) will come fruitful, with rocket building not just limited to Rockets, but full on nuclear powered air breathing spaceships for atmosphere and space, with sizes from small to XL. They don’t have to limit the potential of the game just to old school rockets!
Hi! Cool craft! Wanted to build something like that in KSP1, but never managed to do it. By the way do you have a discord server, or is there another way we can get into contact? It would be really cool to discuss surtain ideas about crafts with you👍
Glad you liked it :) I dont have a discord server yet, i feel like my channel is to small for a server to be active enough. But its something i do plan to do in the future. I am in most ksp discords tho, including the official one, so you can find me on there (same name as my youtube :P)

Your Videos are so well done, I love them all - great work!

Keep these great videos up! Favorite KSP2 youtuber currently!
that means a lot!

the way the dude makes shapes out of wings reminds me of how people did it in the early days of ksp 1
I enjoyed watching this! amezing concept and execution, dude!
Thanks 👍👍👍
Beautiful and original shuttle design.
Happy easter guys! \ (•◡•) /
you too😃
Wow that stall speed landing on kerbin was ridiculous! Great video.
This craft is so cool :o aesthetic and functional
dude that looks AWESOME, i gotta try something like this in KSP1
Happy easter, great video!
Awesomeness. Cool looking ship, too. Earned a sub.
Awesome video, i get to watch this sort of stuff till 2045 when it's playable on my computor lol.

Oh yah, you might be right
Gj you inspired me to try a shutte myself (in ksp1) this video is also a good shuttle tutorial.
Amazing design! Looks sick!
i commented on another video of your about how i struggle with putting parts together but I may have forgotten this mode in build mode but how do you access that 2D mode
theres a little colored square at the bottom of the screen near the parts list.
@@Kerman_von_Braun thanks man

vectoring engine is kinda vital or else i got hardly any control over the craft when in vtol mode
@@Kerman_von_Braun I use reaction wheels to give control
awesome vid man. earned a sub keep up the good work! 👍
Looks really great.

how do i use the rotate and transform tool it barly works for me and makes it extremely hard for me to build anything in the game

my issue was that it would only let me rotate sometimes but not always sorry for not clearifying that i was still kinda angery about that and frustrated
Hmm, did you do anything special to prevent the vector in the cargo bay from generating drag since cargo bays don't shield parts?
Dont think there is much you can do about it atm.

Tis a shame it wasn't fixed in the second patch
Very nice shuttle. You're saying you get ~35fps, what's your setup to achieve this framerate ?
Thanks.
fps largely depends on the specific build. The shuttle isnt very part intensive, so i was getting pretty good fps as a result :P

@@Kerman_von_Braun thanks !
How does this not rip itself apart?
Unbreakable joints :P It was pretty random in ksp2 back in the day
i was in this stream
thanks for keeping me company haha

Yup, shame that KSP2 fell off like that.... just like SC post MM lol

do you guys pronounce it SAS or SAS?
SaS
ok thx
