That's not a mod issue, it's a user issue.
In these threads I always tell people to properly set up their control surfaces, and get shouted down and called a sperg. Well bucko, that image is a perfect fucking example of why you need to set up your control surfaces. 2 seconds clicking buttons in the hangar is all it takes to fix it.

If this thread is still alive tonight I'll post my shit

Guy who made those webms here.
You guys are both wrong. Those planes were made for FAR mod. The canards automatically turn to minimize their AoA. It helps keep control and prevents stalling at high AoAs.

To be truthful though, it only took a couple hits from the 30mm chain gun to destroy them sadly.

>>27833592

Well that's BDA for you, it's OP as fuck. I'd like someone to balance the mod a bit better.

>>27833652

That would be nice. I mean it can destroy those plates like nothing, and the M1 turret can take down most buildings no problem, but hit the VAB with it, and at times it just laughs off the hits, even from a Mk83. Usually the only way to destroy the VAB for me is sustained fire with heavy ordinance.

the rest of the evidence involves the TOS, but if you do decide to take a look, you'll notice Squad is functioning under a different legal entity

What else would you like to know about? Here's the producer showing up and gloating recently

imgur.com/a/XZsT3

>>27835648
What, you don't believe that KSP was developed by Mexicans? Or is it the part about Squad being one of Mexico City's biggest ad firms? You can figure that out by visiting the advertising company's website, and looking at their past projects.

Perhaps it's the part about them spending little to none of their money on development, and funneling the rest off shore that you don't believe? Read the TOS - KSP isn't technically owned by Squad, despite being developed by them, and advertised by them. KSP is owned by a company that is stationed in the Netherlands, and happens to have it's HQ in a building that is occupied almost completely by shell companies used for tax evasion purposes. KSP has sold well over 1 million units, and has been, for most of it's sales history, more than $20 US per copy. If you really, honestly believe that KSP was developed with even a quarter of that going back into development costs (as they, ostensibly would be for an early access title like KSP was when they had their millionth sale,) for a development team that frequently had no more than 8 members at their most populous of times?

I'd say the only cure is a nice tall cup of hydrazine.

It's good. Works with most mods. New panther engine is pretty cool. Nice new parts and new models for existing parts. Only problem I have now is that they made the Whiplash engines a lot bigger lengthways, so a few of my designs need readjusting, and the mk1 cockpit replacement broke a design I loved as well.

Good all round though.

Just a note, B9 hasn't officially been updated, but a modder has made an experimental 1.0 version. It's in the thread comments somewhere.

I realize the quality on that webm is utter dogshit; it was the first webm I ever made.

This screenshot was the culmination of about 2 hours of trying to build a functioning aerial target. To start, I parked a small fighter and its pilot near the runway. Next, I replaced the cockpit of a large, shitty transport with a drone core and decoupler. Once I took off with the transport and gained sufficient altitude, I ejected the drone core. Once the core hits the ground and explodes, the camera automatically switches to the nearest flyable aircraft, in this case the MiK-15 that I had waiting.

1 minute and 39 seconds after takeoff, it's already nearing Mach 3. Even with the thrust gimping from NEAR, it's still a 5.9 ton light fighter with a maximum thrust of 207.85. Even with the secondary lift engine shut down to save fuel, it's still running at 123.75 and can easily maintain Mach 2.

Infernal Robotics is what you're looking for

it's sad that no one has done anything beside make atmospheric shit, has anyone made crafts for combat in vacuum?

>>27853948

>combat in vacuum

Sorry we're all waiting for the relativistic rail guns and casabas in v1.10

What are you using for nukes?

>>27853948
in 5dim there are a few space weapons

seriously only antisatellite missiles are fun to play with, beyond that it gets tedious

I did a midcourse defense anti-ICBM missile and that shit was rad though

I've been meaning to make a midcourse ICBM defense missile. Was it hard as fuck? I'm assuming you used something for autopilot, human reaction time isn't even close to good enough to do it manually.

this was fun to watch.

>>27853727
Thanks for this, tried it out and whilst it's a bit of a pig to configure the wings, it does actually work (with FAR of course) and changing the angle has an effect on handling at sub and super sonic speeds.

>>27858381
No problem

>>27858381

I would recommend getting the quantum struts mod. It gives you struts that you can toggle on and off

North Kerbin Dynamics is where the nukes are from. It requires BDArmory

Anyone else ever messed with body lift?
The plane I made in pic related can pull 5-6g turns at around 300 m/s almost straight off the runway. With the ramjet mod, it is a pretty good platform for launching small payloads to orbit, like the boxsats.

so, I just updated to 1.0.5 and now there's this. . .

>tfw make a MiG-25 Foxbat and its thrust-to-weight is so good it turns into a space plane

>>27860342
>tfw you build an SR-71 that can (with minor modifications) get to the Moon.

MechJeb was guidance, payload was basically 8 of those HE-KV from BDA
the hardest part was getting mechJeb not to fuck up at those speeds
RCS balancer helps

Hypersonic Drone: has 6 Hellfire and 2 Sidewinders. Its a beast.

The engine ramps up to full power at mach >2 and >12km, look at the thrust to weight on this thing.

>not rotating the weapon and radar receiver inside the hull
its like you don't even want to streamline

Sustained flight at mach 6-7 between 25-30km is preferred flight regime. Its actually hard to get this thing not to go suborbital, if you notice its top speed is actually orbital speed, but inside the atmosphere. Did a straight zoom climb at 45 off the run way, down to 30 when I hit 10km and ended up with an apoapsis of 250km. Doesn't have an exoatmospheric engine though. Handles really well all around, had some issues with directional stability early but I slapped some underside strakes on like the Su-27 and it solved that.

>>27861439

Doesn't have a radar on it, plus its too fast for its own good already why would I streamline it more?

>>27861471
was just kidding, unless you have FAR or NEAR installed, it doesn't make a difference

>>27861414
what engine mod

Really under performing F86 knockoff. Has a shitty TWR, but it flies pretty well, so I use it for target drones. AI flight computer does well with it.

Anyone else messing around with the panther engine?

Also have some nice VTOL action

>>27861749
The panther is pretty fun to mess around with, especially doing a full throttle afterburner takeoff
