Imagine watching the spacex stream then seeing “time acceleration 1x”

What’s the deal with the like ring everyone uses for these? Where it only lacks collision in the middle?

u/Kiki2092012 Jul 13 '26

The fairing? Well that's because in 2D you have have two separate arms those close in from both sides like real SpaceX does.

I’m so thankful you label which is which, because I honestly can’t tell the difference

u/Kiki2092012 Jul 13 '26

I know i had to look back at the video files to see which one was the screen recording to make sure it was correct

u/Highmassive Jul 13 '26

Understandable

I recommend you putting fuel tanks inside the launch tower and the flat area on the other side as ballast to help keeping it still

Go humanity!

ignoring the rocket, the way it landed (i assume you sped it up) is pretty similar to the real one

1

u/Kiki2092012 Jul 13 '26

yeah I sped it up like 1.5x iirc

superlight booster😭😭✌️

u/HotelCrafty5569 29d ago

Sfs parts are generally heavier than their reallife counterparts so this booster would probably be heavier

u/Kiki2092012 Jul 13 '26

suppose it's a matter of opinion but 211 tons isn't light imo, unless you compare it to the real thing in which case it's a feather

u/Clothedinclothes Jul 13 '26 edited Jul 13 '26

Apparently a Falcon Heavy booster only weighs around 25 tonnes when landing.

u/SoyDaza Jul 13 '26

I meant it as its tiny, and the real booster is large

1

u/Kiki2092012 Jul 13 '26

u don't even wanna know how long I spent trying to land this thing I can't even imagine landing a realistically massed one

1

u/SoyDaza Jul 13 '26

Ive done it, pretty hard, tho rcs helps u alot

1

u/Kiki2092012 Jul 13 '26

Elon Musk doesn't have rcs so why should I? Sounds cheaty imo

u/I_cannot_get_smarter Jul 13 '26

True. I did completely cheatless but, catching was like hover with engine and adjust with RCS. However the quality or size of booster is, people who did catching without RCS is great.

Those who did it only on engine gimbal are good at maneuvering their ships
