Really cool design. I've found the shuttle style space planes to be the most fun for me. Except I like to try and make them capable of a runway takeoff. Which I've managed to get to work on all but the largest designs. I think 3 XL cargo bays is my design that was just too much for any of the landing gear in the game. I was able to make it work with large rover wheels but it was definitely a strange design.

I should do more shuttles tbh, not having to worry so much about drag is very good for more outlandish designs :P That sounds like a pretty insane build xD i cant imagine having to use rover wheels for a plane.

Your Videos are so well done, I love them all - great work!

Keep these great videos up! Favorite KSP2 youtuber currently!

*MAGNIFIC!!!* Loved the concept, design, execution, dude, congratulations! I can't wait for KSP2 to finally get stable enough so we can actually enjoy it, crossing my fingers.

the way the dude makes shapes out of wings reminds me of how people did it in the early days of ksp 1

Dude, that is EPIC level engineering! I've been avoiding SSTOs in KSP 2 so far, because even rockets are tricky enough with all the glitches and kraken attacks. To build what you built... man, I'm impressed! I love that stall speed and I love how well balanced it is on the single lift engine. I'm waiting for my replacement new processor to arrive (long story), once that gets here, and after this Wednesday's patch, I think I must start building SSTOs...

Happy easter guys! \ (•◡•) /

you too😃

I enjoyed watching this! amezing concept and execution, dude!

Wow that stall speed landing on kerbin was ridiculous! Great video.

Happy easter, great video!

Beautiful and original shuttle design.

This craft is so cool :o aesthetic and functional

Amazing design! Looks sick!

dude that looks AWESOME, i gotta try something like this in KSP1

awesome vid man. earned a sub keep up the good work! 👍

Awesomeness. Cool looking ship, too. Earned a sub.

Looks really great.

Gj you inspired me to try a shutte myself (in ksp1) this video is also a good shuttle tutorial.

Awesome video, i get to watch this sort of stuff till 2045 when it's playable on my computor lol.

Thanks 👍👍👍

I would suspect the engine spazing is due to the engine root being to close to the center of gravity. KSP uses the orientation of the part root to the CG to determine vector direction.

@Kerman_von_Braun

Oh yah, you might be right

To fix the vector bug you can set the gimbal limit to 0 on the vector. I think that there's no point having gimballing VTOL engines unless they are away from the center of mass and have 2 or more balancing them.

vectoring engine is kinda vital or else i got hardly any control over the craft when in vtol mode

I do enjoyed the video, well done! However, little bit disappointed on KSP2 for not having reentry heating. (or robotic parts for that matter but it came to KSP with DLC as well).. But the reentry heating.. Man! I have to keep modding my KSP to look like 2.

With that out of the way, for Mars landings (KSRSS) I usually pitch up till velocity becomes low enough to handle, then start to do a smooth butterfly burn (as i call it) and powerland. The craft stays lighter that way and lets you spend less kerbucks. Fly safe ;)

Hmm, did you do anything special to prevent the vector in the cargo bay from generating drag since cargo bays don't shield parts?

Dont think there is much you can do about it atm. This thing is an absolutely brick aerodynamically, thats the main reason why i went with a shuttle vs an ssto.

Very nice shuttle. You're saying you get ~35fps, what's your setup to achieve this framerate ? Thanks.

fps largely depends on the specific build. The shuttle isnt very part intensive, so i was getting pretty good fps as a result :P I got a 3070ti and 5800x3d

I love your chanel and designs, but I think your chanel name "Kerman von braun" is really critical. Werner von Braun was a rocket science pioneer, yes but he also was a horrible nazi.

@Kerman_von_Braun

Жыл бұрын

he also spear headed the US space race for ~15 years as the lead engineer and was largely responsible for icons like the Saturn V. I dont think its very fair to label him as a nazi and call it a day. My personal take is that he really didnt care who he worked for, be it Germany or US, as long as he could further man's exploration of space. There was no way he could secure any funding or do much of anything if he went against the grain, so siding with who ever was willing to fund him seems like the logical play. Realistically, nearly all new technology comes from weapons research, and that hasnt really changed to this day, since thats where the money is. Especially when it comes to the absolute financial black hole of rockets.
