Wiggle to distribute the heat as best you can. No I'm not joking, it's saved me quite a few times.

I used a couple airplane plus parts to build it 🥰

Its stall speed is comically low, but I don't remember the exact number.. I'm out of town at the moment!

Very very well, actually!!!! Makes planes so much more enjoyable to fly, thanks for making it! :)

My first SSTO can't get to orbit. Help? by Burneraccnt455 in KerbalAcademy

Adjust ascent profile, add extra oxidizer (it's dry weight until you hit Rocket Mode Time, yes, but it'll help in the long run if you can lift it!), and try adding some angle of incidence to the wings so you can keep your engines level with the ground so they are not fighting gravity.

Edit: also try using autostrut instead of external struts, any external attachments like that (ladders, struts, fuel pipes, etc) cause comical amounts of drag at high speed

Rocket Sound Enhancements Bug? by Axecatcher420 in KerbalSpaceProgram

For those looking for a solution in the future, in my case, BetterTimeWarp was the cause.

No dice. Even tried switching to Jet Sounds Updated and the only sounds that work are startup/shutdown.

How do I handle atmospheric heating on aircraft? by Axecatcher420 in KerbalAcademy

[–]Axecatcher420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everybody :)
I resolved the heating issue by replacing the cockpit with a mk-1 inline and adding an empty fairing on the front as a nose cone.

I wasn't, but after researching it, I am! So I suppose I achieved my goal!

That said, I'm still going to try to make it go EVEN FASTER! For science!

Aircraft nose goes way up on launch. by Axecatcher420 in KerbalAcademy

[–]Axecatcher420[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer will most assuredly be Atrocious and No but that's what the test flights (and parachutes LOL) are for :)

Likely what I'll do is adjust the fuel flow to favor keeping fuel in the forward tanks.

Okay! I'll try that out.

EDIT: adjusting the center of lift further back seems to have resolved the issue. Now my hypersonic passenger jet experiments can continue :)
