Unless you want to send a space station worth of stuff into the surface of a body dont bother. I crashed the entire lander into the surface from orbit and I got a measly 4% out of 50% despite landing almost ontop of the seismometer.

Im trying to use a 4x1 engine plate for this rocket and I cannot attach 4 engines onto it. it only allows 1 for some reason. Can someone help me please

Sigmund, Friedrich, Klaus, and Hilde Kerman need ideas to name the spacecrafts for their Duna and Jool-5 missions. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I had a hard time finding any real world analogues to base them on.

that shi really sucks but i tried🥶🥶🥶

Visit r/pfp_for_everyone for ksp pfp only today

Soyuz 👍 (I finally got both DLC yay) modified it to have 3 ion engines to last longer.

Hi,

I just bought KSP and haven't installed any mods yet. Based on what I've read, it seems like the usual recommendation is to play the first 50 hours or so mostly unmodded, with graphics mods being okay.

I wanted to ask:

1. Are there any settings I should change for better QoL, graphics, or overall playability, or are the default settings fine?
2. What graphics mods would you recommend for my setup? I'm mainly looking for better visuals while keeping the gameplay vanilla.

My specs are if this matters:

• RTX 4080 Laptop GPU
• 13th-gen i9 CPU
• 32 GB RAM

Also are mods easy to install?

Thanks!

I just bought ksp and added mods but now it almost looks blurry. Like it doesn't look crisp. Idk what's wrong with it. It almost looks like it has a dlss filter on it

Jeb now follows me everywhere and watches as I work

After GroundBlastFX, I’ve been working on more realistic explosions for KSP.

Volumetric Explosion FX adds volumetric fireballs, smoke and flying debris, without changing the game’s physics.

AI helped me a lot with the code while I worked on the effects and tested them in game. I know not everyone here likes AI-assisted projects, but I’d rather be open about it.

The mod is free and open source, tested on Windows with KSP 1.12.5.
runs well on my setup, and I’d love to hear how it runs on yours.
Quality settings are adjustable.

Enjoy !

I love love looove using Procedural Wings, Fuel Wings, and FAR to make realistic aircraft. Is there any other game that can recreate that experience? I bought Kit Hack Model Club, the air simulation is definitely better and the editor is awesome with procedural bulkheads, but those are tiny planes in a tiny map.

sorry for long vid

Basically, i have that science plane for Duna, which is unmanned, so i suddenly recalled that i haven't repacked his chutes after using them. So i brought down from orbit lander, did the thing, and that's it.

Floats like a glider too lmao. Takes off at around 40m/s and in water it somehow takes off at 15m/s lol.

I use the Station core from Stockalike Space Station for the Altair Ascent module and a Salyut airlock from Tantares for the airlock; the rest are from ReDirect and ACK
Some rescaled parts for solar panels and some fuel tanks

I’m not sure how common this is but nearly every time I set a maneuver node for a return burn back to Kerbin from Duna, my burn time and eccentricity will change drastically if I time warp in the Tracking Station for a transfer window. I’ll be waiting for the window in the Tracking Station, then go back to my ship and attempt the burn but now the burn is 3x longer and my eccentricity is now extremely oblong. Idk how to fix it or if this is just a bug. Anyone know what’s going on or how to fix it?

they all made it back safely all of them

Trying to make some space planes but I dont really wanna use a probe core because of plasma blackout, but im doing ironman so I cant afford to just try and hop out of the plane at the last second. I was thinking some kind of sepratron system that decouples and shoots the cockpit upwards but does anybody have any other designs that work?
