Also, don't multiple ASASes conflict?

[Drakale]

It seem to work fine in this case. I think the main issue is if your SAS are placed in a non-center of gravity spot. In this setup they are pretty well centered.

Also, that look pretty wicked Sordid. I'm playing around with vanilla at the moment, but I might give that mod a try.

Is that old lego mod compatible with .15?

You're confusing SAS and ASAS. Not the same thing. SAS generates torque, ASAS actuates control surfaces and gimbals. Having more than one ASAS is superfluous, and it doesn't matter where you put it.

Not sure if this is the right place, but has anyone noticed how the moderation team for their forums seems to be getting increasingly bad?

I did.

getting mod from the fanboi crowd caused a very bad kind positive feedback on posts and topics, where any other dissenting opinion not inline with the forum wisdom is simply shut down. (and I'm not talking about flames and ot, just honest opinions)

Example?

The fact that there's quite a bit of unnecessary hating on users, over strictness etc.
Also the fact that the mod team is heavily biased.
Their head of recruitment verbally assaulted another mod and got them banned, and got a talking to as punishment. If a normal user had done it, we'd get muted or at the very least an infraction.
That same person is the one that literally writes the rules.

You can't express any opinions that are contrary to the "accepted" line of thought, or your post is deleted. If you even so much as mention that you may have problems with anyone on the moderation team, you are punished for it.

changing topic...

Spoiler: single stage to orbit plane (click to show/hide)

I used just mechjeb and engineering to test it

Spoiler: halfway in the plane to the moon and back challenge (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: staged configuration (click to show/hide)

the wing on the tanks are angled so the tanks are ejected away from the craft; the tank have also some atmo engines just because.

Spoiler: separation confirmed (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: second time on minmus, this time engines didn't fell off on landing (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: got back, lining up with runway (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: nice landing, challenge completed! (click to show/hide)

Now, who'll be the first one to land on the moon and come back with a plane? I'd suggest using a massive plane, carrying a rocket (for interplanetary stuff), itself carryin a smaller plane/glider (for landing).

It is done

not bad LoSbo. any space plane to the mun is impressive, but those engines are pretty widely considered to be imbalanced at the moment. Don't expect it to work the same way after it's updated. Of course, with the updates I'm reading about for next version, there's no guarantee anything will work the same. (Making everything bigger by 2.5x to be able to fix 1m kerbals in the capsule)

[LoSboccacc]

Considering that I got there with plenty fuel left and that half those wings are not producing lift because of bugs, I think that this design has quite some margin.

[Sean Mirrsen]

It's pretty much just a rocket with wings though.

More complex designs are far less effective, but are more exciting to fly.
Like this one:

Barely makes it to a 200km orbit with a 4-ton fuel pod (it's a tanker for space stations), but very satisfying when it does so. Lags to high heaven though.

What in the name of all that is holy is that!

[forsaken1111]

It looks like something designed in GalCiv2
