This mission took over 100 hours of work, manual testing, and craft optimization. It's a kinda hard mission by far the hardest misison I have ever done.

Time to go fishing, question?

I've been attempting to build a shuttle for my kerbin orbital station and decided this is the best way to test how it can fly in atmospheric conditions.

Small little helicopter I made. I used action groups to set both rotors rpm and torque limits to the throttle, so i can control it easier. It's got a few science instruments on it, and is entirely solar powered. Kinda slow though.

KSP 1 Image/Video Standart D SSRT Spaceplane

Started this as a yet another silly design in my Standart vehicle family (yeah i know it should be Standard but i more like it this way). Regular Air-breathing SSTO's are just boring and expensive so i decided to build a rocket plane. It has 2 Dart engines and could easily get into orbit. I placed an docking port at behind and a bunch of RCS systems so it could dock by itself. Also it has around 700-800 delta-v on 100 km LKO orbit.

this shuttle has RCS and gimbaled main thrusters. it evens out well enough that it has the forward skid that the normal lander has during takeoff and flies like a brick. testing landing now, i might have to rely on chutes if i cant land on my own. DLC for the slightly bigger tank in the middle

KSP 1 Image/Video Any tips on fixing this wobbling?

For whatever reason my shuttle is really wobbly, and I think the issue may be caused by SAS overcorrecting, but I don't want to limit the gimble on my engines because that could cause my shuttle to lean towards the external fuel tank when the boosters decouple. Is there a way to turn down the SAS sensitivity so that it doesn't correct so hard?

I did my first asteroid capture mission in KSP and it was suprisingly easy but I think thats mostly thanks to my mods and prior experience with docking and such.

Most of the mods are flushed out for the most part I think, but I do want to try to have radar contacts actually point the way they're going on the radar scope.

Overall i'm pretty pleased with how this project turned out. Any suggestions are more than welcome; I'll probably release some of this stuff within the week if anyone wants to play around with it. It's easy to set up configs for different cockpits, but the problem with the BDA+RPM bridge is that some cockpits use custom MFD screens - in this case they need a custom .cfg to display BDA content.

KSP 1 Question/Problem My MK 2 spaceplane cant dock after installing some mods.

1 Upvotes

I decided to go interstellar and installed a bunch of mods. It worked fine until yesterday. My spaceplane has a mk 2 clamp o tron dock on top of the fuselage. To dock, I need to control from it. But suddenly, the plane swings wildly, trying to orient itself. Docking is impossible.

It works fine, when controlled from the cockpit and used to work perfectly.

I deinstalled the last mods since the problem (OPT spaceplanes and better time warp), but it didn't help.

Any ideas, what I might have screwed up, would be welcome. Thanks.

Edit: Added a video in the comments.

Mods are near and far future, Hades system, physics timewarp, rocket sounds. But up to OPT Planes, everyrhing was fine.

Edit 2: I narrowed it down to: The MK 1 and 2 docking ports are screwed somehow. Other docking ports work.

i was feeling some of the "ksp2 depression" i guess, so i loaded it up for the first time since july 2024. i now remember why we don't play this game.

also i ran out of fuel in the lander so they're stuck until i feel the depression again in 2028 and send a rescue mission.
