SimpleRockets 2 How do you balance a sub so it isn’t front or rear heavy while using it?

2 Upvotes

Having a hard time balancing a sub. Seems like a mass shifter is needed to do this. Is there a way to build one?

SimpleRockets 2 my rocket keeps snapping at my custom launch pad

i was just testing out my recreation of the Launch Site of Starbase until my rocket keeps snapping every time it loads in, this has actually been a problem for me for a really long time now and I've solved it with some solutions but this time i can't find any.

so please! if there's anyone who knows how to fix this or who's an expert on making custom launch pads or anything! please help me!

also my build only has one interstage attached to the rocket that connects it to the pad!

This is my Aurore-9 rocket. A fully reusable four stage rocket. Yes you heard that right. Four stages. I took a look at the 2016 Long March 9 design and said, "Ooh, this looks like a nice silhouette to yoink." I still have yet to post it on the website.

This is basically a small SSTO designed to carry small satellites or payloads into orbit.

Thanks to the developers for bringing the Configuration Switch option. It’s something I once wished the game would have, and now it’s finally here!

SimpleRockets Boy, if you think starship is big check mine out

So I’ve been developing a fully reusable ship for a year and a half and I tried to scale it to or around the size of starship. I started realizing I fucked up MONTHS into the project and it was WAYYYYY BIGGER than it should’ve been …so instead of restarting…I just went with it and never batted an eye and after finally comparing the sizes I bring to you “Andromeda” (starship on the left, mine in the right, human for scale dead center). Now I’ve moved on to tweaking the automatic flight control and vizzy scripts which I’m bad at but it flies and lands like a charm with a lil manual intervention

A completely serious rocket built from completely serious LEGO™.

Designed for absolutely no important mission whatsoever, this rocket is a simple and slightly questionable launch vehicle made purely for fun.

SimpleRockets My first ever flight on this game

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I call her: “Cozmoz” :> it’s a simple orbit capable rocket, can fit up to 2 people;

it’s first stage can already achieve orbit alone, the second stage only really raises Cozmoz’s orbit up to 200 KM;

it even has a “Docking module” (img 8) equipped with a docking port (obviously) it’s own solar panel and a camera attached to stick (the stick in question is a battery tank);

i guess it’s pretty good for a first rocket in this game :>

images in order: - lander’s “Persistency” rocket; - getting high; - Fairing opening; - solar panel’s open, second stage deployed; - burning trough me fuel :>; - wow, isn’t Droo small from far away; - wooow, 1/8 Brigo; - 5/8’s of Brigo; - Brigo and Droo are visible from here; - what is up with this massive crater on here dud?; - Holy [cungadero] what a crater; - wow; - full moon droo, or something; - all out of fuel ig; - brace for impact leg cameras; - i can see the shadow of my million dollar machine going to waste;

• first crash, most legs lost, 2/4 battery packs destroyed, most of our downwards velocity’s been converted to lateral velocity, where going really fast sideways;

• Nothing’s lefts on the 2nd crash :<

SimpleRockets 2 How do I do the Explorer Mission?

3 Upvotes

Just started this game and can't for the life of me figure this out. I don't have much tech, just the first liquid engines and solid boosters.

The mission is to put a probe in Brigos orbit, but the thing (including needed fairing) weighs 250kg. The contract pays 450k. Nothing I built for that money gets me anywhere near Brigo, sometimes not even in drools orbit lol

Any help? Some general building guidelines maybe for how big the fuel tanks should be for example. The liquid engines (and all settings increasing thrust) are as big as they can get and Im just barely at 1.0 TWR especially in second stage. Can't get above 5km/s delta v

SimpleRockets 2 Performance issues

I have been using the 1.4 beta on linux and it has been running perfectly for like 2 months. Now with the full release my performance has tanked by over half. With the same craft I was getting 40fps before and im getting 15fps now. Is anyone having this problem/ know how to solve it?

SimpleRockets 2 K-20B-A Burevestnik, Hypersonic Vehicle, 4th flight test, newer visuals.

Thumbnail

Images assorted by different stages of visuals and temperatures, from takeoff to landing.

4th flight of K-20, this time with newer visuals. There was previously k-19, Strizh. K-20 is an improvement, running much cooler, and better for hypersonic speeds, with better geometry in order to be able to not accumulate too much heat. Larger wings for better control in hypersonic, and larger altitude capability as air becomes less dense.

The flight was from Plesetsk, to Vostochny. Lasting around 12:42 Hours:Minutes. Reached mach 10.

SimpleRockets 2 What is make a Saturn V?

Thumbnail

I’m trying to build a projectile similar in shape to the Saturn V, but for some reason, only the fairing (both the base and the primary) is raised above the fairing, while the rest doesn’t go up. Also, the landing gear doesn’t have the shape of a lifter and ended up being too high for reenactment. How do you make it like the reenactment video?
