saw a video yesterday that there is a newer one in the works
<Mat2ch>
uh, that is several Gb of data
<Mat2ch>
not sure if I want
<Mat2ch>
maybe when I'm done doing all those missions.
<Mat2ch>
I wonder what the system will have me do after I built all the outposts

nice. I have 1680x1050.

16:10 stronk
<Pinkbeast>
1280x960 ;-)
<darsie>
Izzy: very blocky. That's like 1 character at a time :).,
<Mat2ch>
After the Mun comes: Build an outpost on Tylo. Nothing easier than that!
<Mat2ch>
I guess after Tylo comes Eve. That would mean the outpost missions are hardcoded and have a difficulty progression.
<Mat2ch>
(what suprise will it be if after Eve comes Minmus... or Gilly)

When playing with my space planes I wished there was an ILS mod. And yes, there is. Nice!
<Althego>
hah, what is its name
<Althego>
the developers stated back then they necer wanted to make any ils
<Althego>
or navaids

Landing on Tylo? Easy. Getting stuff to Tylo that can land there? Annoying
<coalshork>
Mat2ch: yeah, I've never even been to tylo
<Mat2ch>
Why not? Always an impact worth. :D
<coalshork>
I'll have to try

just bring enough fuel and watch your twr. Since you are burning fuel all the way down your twr can be below 1 (for Tylo) when starting
<Althego>
tylo is relatively hard and unique, because of the high gravity and no atmosphere. you can really easily become a crater
<Althego>
your margins are lot smaller than you would think
<Mat2ch>
if you can land on Mun, you can land on Tylo
<Deddly>
I guess it's more of a än engineering challenge rather than a piloting one?
<Althego>
the mun is way easier because of the lower gravity. you have so much time to do anything
<Althego>
on tylo? opps, i am a few seconds off, that wasted 300 m/s fuel
<Althego>
or oops i am not slowing down in tim
<Althego>
tylo is the only body where i am staging while landing

Vectors + big fuel tanks. That's the solution. :D
<Mat2ch>
Deddly: it's both. You need to know how much fuel to bring and what engine, and you also need to know when to do the breaking manouvers

I have spent too much time faffing about with SSTOs and VTOLs to have tried Tylo
<Deddly>
But I really should
<Mat2ch>
:)
<Mat2ch>
I have built an SSTO plane from MK4 parts and keep on crashing on landing... and that's a skill issue I guess.
<Althego>
if it laways crashes might be a deseign issue
minas_tirith has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<Mat2ch>
maybe that, too. *coughs*
minas_tirith has joined #KSPOfficial
<Mat2ch>
needs more flap area for better control and bigger landing gears, which don't compress all the way and let the engines touch the ground...

KSP is a bad airplane simulator.

But but but... I know :)
<Mat2ch>
Also the problem wasn't me or my design. The problem was that the joints between the turbines and the plane were too weak and broke
mkalte has joined #KSPOfficial
<Mat2ch>
so on touchdown they would just break off and take other parts with them. What a reckless design
<Mat2ch>
also ILS is great :)
<Mat2ch>
This mod even has glide slope indicators with different glide angles!

Lucky for you, you brain good. Unlucky for you, you brain gooded not earlier enough. Icefire is amazed at how much you (ab)use a joke feature of his bot.
<xxcoder>
amazing combo

You use the EVA construction feature to peform a rapid unplanned assembly. You become depressed at finding that your google search yielded a positive result.

few steps missing

You insist that a rocket that solely uses horizontal staging is "unrealistic" and "would never be seriously considered". The mission report asymptotically approaches its conclusion, with increasingly precise timestamps.
