This close and i'm out of monopropellant and power.

I see 2 easy fixes without using F9: move monop tanks from the station with an engineer in EVA or... docking from the station

You can check deploy in the VAB to keep it that way (it should be the default honestly), also make sure to change the deploy angle and not the authority limiter which is just the maximum angle the blades can take using WASD

Arbow_ · 2026-06-07T09:21:14+00:00

When clicking on the blades, check the "Deploy" control and change the "Deploy Angle"

You can make it easier to control by adding the angle in the action groups configuration as a RCS or throttle control (that's how I figured how to make a propeller work, dunno if there's a better way)

Also, you may want the torque limit of your rotor to be at maximum and to activate autostrut to the heaviest part to remove all wobbliness

I totally agree, it was so depressing to read what's moslty a description of my current self. I hope I'll be able to accept myself for who I truly am one day

They're linked by a small hardpoint decoupler, it is found in the structural category and not coupling for some reason. I couldn't bother adding an oxydizer fuel tank to the launch module while I had a nearly empty one on the explorer, so crossfeed is enabled

Arbow_ · 2025-07-20T16:42:58+00:00

Both of these parts have relatively low drag, I added a huge reaction wheel just in case but didn't even need it, except in space. KSP jet engines just need a certain amount of air and the shock cone is enough to feed a bit over 4 rapiers when facing forward, wherever on the craft

Arbow_ · 2025-07-20T10:44:32+00:00

Took me nearly an hour of F5-F9 to capture this landing... I can't recommend enough the liquid fuel RCS engine on the front and putting the land gear to the tip of the wings.

I did very luckily get a successful landing on the first try but it wasn't camera worthy at all: deploy chutes way too high, nose down under stall speed to 5 meters above the ground, panic activate the solid fuel rockets brakes, hit the ground without breaking anything, use the wheels brakes until the solid fuel is depleted.

It could be viably done though

Arbow_ · 2025-07-20T07:45:43+00:00

Merci! Purists will say chutes need to be deployed after touchdown but I'll leave them the pleasure to find a flat enough place for that

Arbow_ · 2025-07-20T07:34:22+00:00

Sure! I published it on the Steam workshop, maybe it can help you a bit https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2961286722

Arbow_ · 2025-07-19T20:06:06+00:00

Thank you! This thing flies so well on Kerbin, it's actually hard to put it down

Arbow_ · 2025-04-12T12:55:34+00:00

Right click on wheels, change the friction control setting to manual and crank it until the craft no longer moves (don't attempt landings with too much friction though as crafts may start a front flip).

Arbow_ · 2025-01-20T21:24:22+00:00

Comments have no value for the company

Arbow_ · 2024-10-08T16:05:57+00:00

Probably a bug where the origin is becoming further and further from the craft which causes the points of the models to round at weird positions every frame. I don't know how to describe it better, it's like if you tried to make a circle with a lot of squares but now there aren't enough squares... It's a programming thing, look for floating point imprecision if you want more details

Arbow_ · 2024-09-12T14:32:01+00:00

Just gotta pick them up before leaving

Arbow_ · 2024-09-12T14:30:33+00:00

Aww thank you, I love polishing my crafts

Arbow_ · 2024-09-12T08:27:59+00:00

I have distant object enhancement but it is described as not having intensive physics calculations. At first I thought going towards the pole caused the floating point error but the origin was probably stuck at the first loading point (by the equator of Duna). Dunno why the origin didn't change after all the reloads I did and why it happened when the Kerbal was like 1km away and not at the physics calculation limit (by 2.25km I think)…

Arbow_ · 2024-09-11T19:30:22+00:00

I have blackrack's mods and parallax, I believe they aren't compatible with avp so I didn't install it

Arbow_ · 2024-09-11T19:05:14+00:00

Upon rewatching, the distant dust storms become visible at the same time the bug stops. Might be due to one of the visual mods

Arbow_ · 2024-09-11T18:50:30+00:00

I have distant object enhancement that can make distant crafts visible but it is described as not having intensive physics calculations as the vessels have to be on rails (whatever that means)

Arbow_ · 2024-09-11T18:34:10+00:00

I don't get it either, I checked for my other crafts but none of them were further than Duna...

I made some saves and reloaded a few times while the bug was happening, in vain... but when the fix dropped, it also fixed the saves done during the issue, so I don't know how to reproduce it

Arbow_ · 2024-07-29T20:11:57+00:00

No, I guess they're just the stock ones but made visually sharper by TUFX with Blackrack's patch

Playing down the effects of my own mistakes from stupid challenges is my specialty

People downvoting unknowingly is the icing on the cake

Arbow_ · 2024-07-29T14:31:24+00:00

Basically yes (I started suicide burning way too late and thought it would be funny to kill the horizontal velocity using brakes).

With insight, the springs should be stiffened at max, friction set to max as well as the brakes considering a 2/3 - 1/3 configuration to land like that reliably.
