  • I know youtube keeps recommending this video but it's old now! I The "Mechwarrior 2 cinematic recreation" video is much more recent and represents way more work... give that one some love instead :P

      Make a video for a KSP reddit challenge entry on a whim in about 3 hours including craft build time and sloppy editing, get over half a million views.
      Spend hundreds and hundreds of hours building highly accurate recreations of battletech mechs which can walk with fluidity and stability in the unforgiving and inconsistent KSP physics engine, under their own control systems programmed using an absolutely niche language and running in a virtual operating system mod which in turn runs inside the KSP engine itself, culminating in a shot for shot recreation of the classic mechwarrior 2 cinematic intro... 15,000 views.

    @maxk4324 Před 5 lety +6

    I'm a little late to the party here, but for anyone interested in making their own mid air docking planes here are a couple tips that may help. First, place some angled surfaces (winglets, flat plates, etc) above and below the port on that will be on the autopiloted vehicle. The top one angle a bit up and the bottom one angle it down so that you make a sort of funnel into the docking port to guide in the section you will be piloting at that stage. Make sure these funnel pieces are reinforced enough to survive knocking into the section you are piloting. For a real life example of this check out some designs of midair refueling ports and connectors. One of the two sides of the connection is almost always some kind of funnel to catch the other side. Second, for sections that are very wobly in flight with overly fast roll rates, try reducing the control authority of the ailerons (in their right-click menu). You can do this in the hanger or in flight.

So now the lander is freaking stranded on the moon. But that was a while ago I did a rescue mission since then.

    I know it's an old vid, but very well done! obviously you have skills at KSP, but te video itself has good timing, great editing, brilliant choice of when to speed up/ when not to, and comic delivery. Well done!
