@@neonblack211 I don't think adding as many features as KSP1 has is doable without making it early acces tbh, KSP1 was developed for more than a decade after the early acces and it was really bare bones aswell. I just don't think any engineering game ever will be any close to completed in the early acces stage, it's just not possible. This game will probably be a black sheep for a very long while until they catch up to the first game.

Great Video Stan Tompton! Always loved your content, been your greatest fan and watching since 2005. I dicovered you trough reading the phonebook of Swansea, beautiful city by the way, beautiful people there. I even subscribed to your only fans and patreon, love your extra content and fan service, real dedication right here!

Really liked this video because I've already binged through every good youtube channel already.

Dude killer landing!

here is some useful tips! - the fuel tanks that you are using to offset the weight of the U2, are not connected to the main fuel might help to get a bit more out of that last stage - i think you should be able to goto the tracking station and select the u2 from there(you can also do this whilst flying)

PC on fire in the intro made me chuckle. Take this like +1 :)

great video! would love to see a take on the Blackbird next!

I love how the video switched to classic KSP jank after the really smooth U2 build and flight.

Best way of getting planes to laythe i found is to build a main vessel with 2 symetrical docking ports and put it in space then dock 2 planes so you can tow them with perfect center of thrust.

This is awesome.

We just have to wait for the new updates. It was expected that ksp 2 will be buggy when it comes out. But when we get more updates ksp 2 will surely be one of the coolest games out there yet.

Lots of love from NL

I can't wait for SCANSat and other mods to get ported to KSP 2 so many possibilities

One thing I would like to see for ksp2 is IAS to get a better understanding of aircraft performance at alt.

Wow that blueprint mode is really cool. Ksp2 looks to have crazy amounts of features, I'm excited to see all the cool builds people on YT come up with.

Wow I like the customization for wings, and fuel tanks etc, I always found that a bit limiting in the current one. Can't wait to try out this game.

I actually built one of these last night aswell as a SR-71

The Home key should recenter the camera on the craft. It worked for me last time I was in “orbit”.

Got the same bug today. Very fun

cant listen to the keyboard clicking

My response to that rocket is "Moar struts"

I would love a craft file for this! pretty neat!

Pressing Capslocks gives fine controls at ksp 2 too.

It looks exactly like U-2, i bet the control is actually good though

glad to see im not the only one having that annoying camera bug!

Nice 👍

More KSP2 !!! : )

Not having autostrut is a bummer but still nothing wrong with using the struts, im sure devs will implement it in an upcoming update

Yeah switching vehicles is a pain right now. You actually need to pause then go to the tracking station and select the one you want to switch to.

Great vid! Just like in early access KSP 1 in the early days, struts will be your best friend and the best remedy of wobbly rocket syndrome. 9/10 doctors recommend struts to cure WRS. Ask your doctor if struts are right for you!

@kingghidorah5213

Жыл бұрын

I have just disabled wobblyness in the game files

If you turn sas off for planes the wobble does go away. I wish the caps lock sensitivity button had a setting to modulate the level of sensitivity. Also the alt trim function is amazing yet broken you should be able to remove the trim settings instantly in the event you trim the craft wrong.

How about trying the later model U-2S with the longer nose and dorsal ventral pod?

Since you enjoyed this you should try flyout. Its specifically for planes but WAY more indepth and procedual

If you increase the game speed your camera will snap back to your main vessel. Otherwise its an annoying bug. Also you're rocket is difficult to control because you only have wings but are lacking SAS modules & RCS so when you're out of the atmosphere the wings are useless. Adding both will improve stability a whole bunch!

I had this bug (and alot of others) too and all i needed to do was switch vessels with keys [ or ]

KSP 1 does not have that sensitive controls, seems like I would play with a remote if I wanted fly planes.

F5 to quicksave then F9 to reload fixes most glitches with KSP 1 & 2 check out Matt Lowne's recent videos for tips...

the rear gear should be shorter to get it to set down just right. Too bad you can't get stall strips for landing like the real one

I stopped playing as soon as the same thing happened to me with the camera. So much development time for.. This.

3:35 Did you actually resize that part? If so,...WOW. I don't own KSP 2 (still playing KSP 1 until most serious bugs are fixed). Binge-watching KSP 2 videos on YT to get a feeling for the new game.

Early KSP 1 was, well, maybe not _quite_ as buggy, but almost unplayable if you wanted to do anything with more than like 5 parts because the joints were held together with small rubber bands instead of bolts. Even now, it’s hard to make a swing-wing plane whose wings won’t just fold when you pull up. Anyway, the first round of patches is supposed to be ready “soon”.
