Either mechjeb or suborbital jumps

[Rose]

Two things:

1: The higher you fly, the faster you fly. If you want to get any reasonable distance, get your plane to around 20km or more.

2: Planes are very sensitive to COM. If your COM goes behind your COL, you will lose stability. Do a test run with all but the rear-most fuel tanks empty to make sure your design can work after you used most of your fuel.

3: Missions that require you to do something flying over kerbin are made for planes, and really hard, if impossible to do, using rockets. So use them to give a reason for your flights.

Does it come with ole timey piano music?


If so, then all we need are manly mustaches and bowler hats for our Kerbals.

It apparently has film stuttering. But yeah, this mod definitely needs piano music, and an option to make things go forward in sped up motion.

You mean time-warp?

Enjoy physwarp breaking your plane into little bits

My little plane that could is flying at 225 m/s across the ocean to places unknown

225 ms-1 is nothing. You want to be going at a couple kilometres per second really.

[da_nang]

I think a couple km/s puts you dangerously close to escape velocity.

I think a couple km/s puts you dangerously close to escape velocity.

I deleted my old screenshots, but I've definitely taken a spaceplane a good way above 1 km/s.

Really? I've never had much problem flying those in rockets. Of course, I can't really do planes too well.

Below 2 km/s, sure, that's standard for spaceplanes in atmosphere. However, a 'couple' is typically 2+ and escape velocity in atmosphere is less than 3.5 km/s.

[BFEL]

I find the upper limit on plane speed to be almost exactly mach 4.

After that my engines usually overheat and asplode.

I forget how fast that is in m/s though.

4 Machs per second obviously.

How do I deal with front wheels like this one?

Care to elaborate on what you mean?
