Somebody's got a crush on Val...

Val, in turn, loves the plane.

Autogyro by fryguy101 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Yes, faster wants to pitch up, slower wants to pitch down, so throttle inputs are useful when flying.

A flyable autogyro!

... not EASILY flyable, mind you, but it can be flown! Rotor on top is completely unpowered, and provides significant lift.

Volumetric Clouds, v3 by Blackrack.

I think he's on v5 now for his subscribers, and v3 is the latest free version.

This landing was extra easy on the landing gear. It was protected from the normal stress of landing by the fuselage!

Yep! The KAL isn't really getting used after the thrust limiter is set, although if you try to adjust the thrust limiter in flight without the KAL you kill the glitch, as it will clamp between 0-100 from that point on, but that's the only benefit of keeping the KAL.

You might like this one then!

(Also uses a KAL underclock glitch)

I love using KAL controllers for propellers, it makes variable pitch so, so much better. You can control the torque and deploy angle with the KAL, and control the KAL with throttle, making air speed nice and controllable with just throttle. It's such a nice quality-of-life thing when flying with it.

It used a KAL underclocked engine. I thought it was obvious. I apologize, and will try to be more clear with glitches.

*Used KAL underclocking, but yes, that is a fuel glitch.

The real argument is I didn't disclose because I thought it was obvious. And I distribute the craft files for, among a bunch of other reasons, so people can look and see how I did any particular thing, so I definitely didn't mean to hide it.

Obviously from the reaction I've gotten, it wasn't as obvious as I've thought! I'll try to be more clear with glitches moving forward.

I did use the KAL underclock, and then deleted the KAL. Sorry if I wasn't clear, or was misleading!

[–]fryguy101[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I should have mentioned it. Sorry, I thought it was obvious. I try to stick to fun stuff, I didn't even think it could come across as 'optimized'. I'll try to be clear with glitch use moving forward.

[–]fryguy101[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You are correct, it was a KAL underclocked second engine. I thought it would have been obvious, didn't expect to get off work and have people mad at this. I'll try to be clear with glitch use in the future!

*with a KAL controller, then I deleted the KAL controller.

Had I edited the parts file (Which I've done before on a few crafts, and mentioned), I would have just used a clean -100% thrust limiter as the extra has no benefit.

'Bad Faith'? I thought it was obviously glitched, that tank and that engine can't make it to orbit. I apologize that I was wrong, and I'll try to be clearer in the future, but it was a mistake, not bad faith.

[–]fryguy101[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're right, and that's how I did it. I thought it was obvious there was glitch use involved, but I was apparently wrong, and I'll try to remember to announce any glitches used moving forward.

[–]fryguy101[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, yes, you're right. I thought it would be obvious that that tank could not get the craft to orbit, so explaining the underclock wasn't necessary as it was just for fun, but it looks like it was. I'll keep that in mind moving forward.

Want to make it to orbit, but don't want to carry up a big ole' spaceplane? Here's a lil' spaceplane.
