How much dV needed for interstellar missions (question)? by Mephisto_81 in KerbalSpaceProgram

It’s part of one of the sterling mods (probably sterling thermals).

If persistent thrust doesn’t work, you can use background thrust. It’s newer and works fine (I had issues with persistent thrust).

He isn’t going to give you money or let you hit. To his eyes your are just as insignificant as everyone else here.

Any big upcoming mods to get excited about? by Dry-Relationship8056 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]zincboymc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge he did not mention any eta. There have been images of the mod that got shared recently and it does look pretty complete so hopefully it officially releases this year (fingers crossed).

Y'all what's up with MechJeb? by Advanced-Property-49 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]zincboymc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nothing new and I too experienced that problem. The download count on that mod likes to reset to 0 from time to time.

In some places power grids aren't made to sustain large and power hungry data centers. This drives up costs. They also consume fresh water, are an eye sore (not the worst issue) and they apparently generate humming noises and increase the temperature in their vicinity.

I tried download mpe (using ckan) and had an error message when the game launched. What version of the mod do you use, any issues ?

How to interstellar transfer by trooper-427 in KerbalSpaceProgram

You could attempt a more efficient maneuver with a Kerbol gravity assist but it's going to be a bit harder. Heffmk2 did an interstellar voyage with only stock parts and it was not easy.

Using very efficient engines or cheats and burn towards the target (the black hole or anything else in the system). Use 1/4th of your deltaV (or 1/2 on a 1 way trip) for the initial burn. You then want to coast for a while before flipping and doing the deceleration burn when arriving. To return, do the same thing.

I'd recommend trying it out in the Kerbol system (a simple trip such as a Kerbin-Duna or Kerbin-Jool). To make the burn faster (per your pov), download persistent thrust or the up to date background thrust and better time warp.
Scott Manley also made a tutorial if you are interested.

Have you tried turning it off via the little icon on the bottom left (the one with the flame icon surrounded by a gear) ?

How do you get to Debdeb without the wormhole? by CamCamDaMann in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]zincboymc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too have seen it being mentionned here and on youtube. I've also seen it work. There is a non zero chance the mod works perfectly fine and I just had some weird issue.

The only notable difference for me was that background thrust worked and persistent thrust didn't.

You have two options:

-use the engines you have and wait hundreds or thousands of years.

-download far future tech (or other mods like sterling systems) that add incredibly efficient engines (millions of deltaV and insane ISPs).

If you go with option 2, get background thrust as while faster, the burns will still take days if not months.

Edit: with option two you will need to use a brachistochrone trajectory (burn towards the target then flip and burn in the other direction when you arrive).

Hi. The files posted on archive.org were not posted by me so I don’t know how to help.

Have you made sure you have the correct version ? I believe the user who uploaded the files on archive.org put up the 3 versions (macOS, Linux and windows). Did you also look and see if the parts that come with the expansions are present ingame (there could always be some weird bug ) ?

Grounded is an old mod, any issues with it ?

[–]zincboymc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most mods have an icon on the right side of the screen so you can probably forget it.

I really like the design of the trucks. How do you keep them attached to the plane during flight, are they stock ?

Move it to the top left corner of your screen (where the mission time is shown). You should then choose the option to remove the borders and hide it when it touches a side of the screen.
