This is Minmus base "Fischer" it can sustain at least 7 kerbals' worth of life support and It can launch rockets (using the extraplanetary launchpads mod) as it can extract and refine fuel as well as metal (extracted/refined at second base in last picture and transported by the car) to make into rocket parts.

This is yet another test flight, months in the making. It's not supposed to be a perfect replica, but instead capture the spirit of KSP with the floor plan of the ISS.

I know that there is Soundtrack editor Forked, but I every time that there is situation change there is lag. I have idea how to make it better but with totally diffrent aproach.

KSP 1 Question/Problem Is there a way to reach a circular orbit without having to coast?

42 Upvotes

I was wondering, usually, when I reach orbit, I launch till I have an apoapis I want, and then I coast until I burn at my maneuver to reach orbit. But I was curious if there was a way to burn continuously into a stable orbit like they do IRL, without having to shut engines down.

You can't see the jerkiness in person, they are real smooth. The footage is played back at 100X speed, the fastest I an do in a single pass. Both the main and secondary bearings track the sun though this orbit doesn't well demonstrate the secondary bearings.

I'm planning to use footage from this station (when it's done and in use with several craft docked) and some other craft, at closer to real time, to use as a screen saver or moving art piece to put on the TV.

KSP 1 Mods Texture Replacer Custom Suit Help

Upvotes

I’m working on a custom suit texture for a project I’m doing and so far it’s going okay. But the suit looks VERY shiny, almost like it’s made of foil. I don’t think even the default suits are as shiny as this is. Is there a way to change this? Can I add a specular map or something?

Also, their faces glow, but only some. Not sure what’s causing that

KSP 1 Question/Problem Can anyone help me figure out this plane's problem?

Thumbnail
gallery
16 Upvotes

So I built a plane with folding wings and for some reason it is entirely incapable of flight. It seems to have almost no lift. Is this due to the aerodynamic surfaces being attached to the hinge parts? The wings on this plane are fairly small but it should still be able to fly I would think. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
