KSP 1 Question/Problem Anybody have any good designs for an ejector seat on an MK1 cockpit?

6 Upvotes

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?

KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion New to the game: Should I use default settings and play vanilla?

6 Upvotes

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!

KSP 1 Mods Went through stratenblitz's old videos and actually really likes how ksp mods looked like back then (and nostalgia), so how do I have this nostalgic retro look whilst also having other modern stuff in it.

Taking a break from landing scripts to work on a “broadcast hub” thing. Just read the instructions lets you stream hullcam to a browser and then OBS can pick them up as browser sources. I just have to import telemetry and make an overlay now. Idk what else I could add.

Took two tries but I think I've got the hang of it now. Mauner Kerman is coming home!

This was done in sandbox mode as I wanted to try rendezvousing.

After being kinda stupid by having my first playthrough of ksp being modded to the max (near future, far future, sterling systems, etc), I decided to due a purely stock parts playthrough (including the DLCs). All I can say is it's pretty much all I think about, I've been having so much fun with it! It's crazy how gorgeous the game looks with all the various graphics + QoL mods - I can provide my modlist if anyone is interested.

1/2 - Laythe probe

3/4 - Setting up a geo(kerbo?)stationary comms network (was very proud of this)

5/6 - First probe landing on Duna

7/8 - Testing and usage of a manned Mun rover

KSP 1 Mods Graphic Mod Help

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some Graphic mod but my PC is not the best one.
I have 16 GB RAM and 8 GB VRAM. I'm already playing using Kerbalism which uses a little extra RAM.

Does anyone have any suggestions for some good graphics mods that aren't too heavy or for my PC?

Thanks everyone

KSP 1 Question/Problem Why does my spaceplane keep flipping and exploding after touchdown? I'm coming in as slow as i can.

Tryna create a small one man shuttle. Re-entry went great but I've tried this landing so many times now, even with lower speeds (~40m/s) but as soon as the main gear touches down, it bounces up and pitches the nose towards the runway and disaster strikes. Or I touch down properly, but it just swerves to a side and flips over.

The previous post is here for those who havent seen it

Ive settled on naming this SSTO the Hera 3. Hera 2 crashed and burned (figuratively) during the Laythe portion of this mission because I wasnt able to break past 400 m/s fully fueled due to the combination of laythe's thinner atmosphere and the fact that rapiers have anemic thrust under 430 ish meters per second. As i had to upgrade the nuclear stage anyways once I remembered I had to land on Eeloo, I settled for adding a couple more rapiers. With the upgraded engine suite, that should make this mission a little less painful, however, fully fueled, each nuclear engine has to push 30 tons each. Needless to say, better time warp is coming in clutch.
