I take my bridge building skills to the extreme as I successfully, kind of, circumnavigate Kerbin in a bridge in Kerbal Space Program. This is truly the further a bridge has ever flown in Kerbal Space Program. Circling the planet in a bridge was always a dream of mine, and thanks to the plane hangar in ksp it is now a reality!

"A nose heavy plane will fly poorly, A tail heavy plane will only fly once" There are 3 buttons, just above the symmetry button, ignore the one in the middle. The ones to the side of that show center of mass and center of lift. You want the center of mass to be slightly in front of the center of lift. Assuming you follow this rule of thumb (and the plane is somewhat rigid) you can make almost anything fly.

@onion5590 3 года назад

Your first plane flipped over, because it's wings were reversed v shape (your wingtips faced down a bit). So as it slightly rolled in one direction, the lower wing was less horizontal then the upper wing, and created less lift, so your plane just turned more. To counter that, you can make your wings slightly v shaped. That should make your plane way more stable. Actually real planes always have v shaped wings (except fighter jets, but they are ment to roll well).

@masterofthelag8414 3 года назад

Protip: Rover wheels are basically useless as landing gear, they simply can't take the stress of any kind of landing speed. Stick to the regular landing gear if possible since they can withstand even fairly high velocity and bumps on landing. It's also a good idea to have the plane sit on the runway with the nose pointed upwards slightly, makes it much easier to lift off as you're not pushing yourself into the ground. (I think you even mentioned that in the vid)

Remember that the first part you place or the root part is where your controls are gonna be oriented to. So if you place your first part, rotate it completely then your controls would be backwards too. If you see your navball in the both orange and blue border, your controls are good for planes. Plus keep in mind having the Center of Lift behind the Center of Mass as a rule of thumb for building planes (And C should enable Snap mode and also X for symmetry in editor mode as well as T for SAS)

@action4newsinligme803 2 года назад

Though this video is like 6 mo old at this point, I feel compelled to point out the bits you're putting at the trailing edge of the wing are called alerons. Alerons control roll. Flaps is a technical term and distinct from alerons, elevators, and rudders. Flaps change wing shape to increase lift and are not generally used for attitude control. Instead they are extended or retracted to change the speed needed to avoid stalling. On the tail: the vertical moving part (or parts) is called the rudder. It controls yaw (left/right movement). Elevators are located horizontally on the tail. They move to control pitch (up/down movement). In some cases elevators and alerons are combined to make elerons (the example that comes to mind is the B2 bomber).

@DerRusher 2 года назад

planes turn like this: roll a bit to the side you want to turn to, then pull slightly up. the yaw is really only for fine tuning your heading / supporting a turn and if you really want to make a sharp turn, you roll more and pull up more. the sharpest turn would be rolling 90 degree and pulling full up while applying yaw so your nose stays up

Tip for making anything fly in the builder on the bottom left there is a few buttons that allow you to show the center of lift and center of mass when building your rocket make sure the lift is juuuust behind the center of mass this will let you fly you can move the center of lift by moving the wings forward or back

you need to use the start crane that holds the rocket in place, then you set first stage as release the rocket clamps and fire the boosters. your rocket is literally in free fall as soon as you start.. it spawns in the objects, then it applies the physics - at that point your rocket starts to fall toward the floor, and you are then firing the boosters to counter it's free fall, it's already unstable before you even launch. you're supposed to have the launch cranes on it and let it come to a rest after the physics have applied before you launch..

imagine a biplane but one wing is upside down and backwards. 2 wing plus negative two wings is zero wings. your delta inversions are working against you. If you want to roll your plane using aerodynamics you probably want to maximize forces and put the ailerons or elevons at the tips of the wings. the rest of the wing control surface should be for lifting and pitching.

@rowbot5555 3 года назад

I know you're going for the whole crazy look and crazy challenges and such, but if you want to know how to get an orbit, it's simple if you use SAS, you probably already know this, so idk why im typing it out... 1 make a rocket with about 4,000m/s of delta V, 2 put it on the launch pad and turn SAS on, 3 just go straight up till you get about 3,000 meters up, then start slowly turning your rocket, by 8,000-10,000 meters up it should be at about a 45 degree angle and then, assuming your rocket has higher than about 2.00TWR you can aim to put it at the line between the red and blue spheres by about 20,000 to 30,000 meters, then after that, check the map, by pressing M, if your "AP marker is over about 100,000 meters you can cut the engines until you get to the top point, then you point prograde (the yellow circle with three little bits sticking out of it and a hollow center) and then fire them again also fairings are your freinds for high speeds, and making art

5:13 Your plane is rolling like that because your wings are in an anhedral configuration (which decreases roll stability).

@crazy_mind-ox8if 2 года назад

Flaps are moving the wrong way to generate lift. They should go down to increase lift at low air speeds then be up after you have taken off. Fix your center of gravity so it is just in front of the center of lift. Roll is controlled by ailerons at the ends of the wings where they have a mechanical advantage not near the fuselage where flaps go. Bigger elevators at the back make it easier to pitch up. And finally your winglets are kinda pointless. The point of them on a plane is to prevent vortexes where the low pressure and high pressure air meet. I doubt ksp models that.
