Parachutes can be a real drag to implement, but we've taken all that we've learned from SimpleRockets 1 and SimplePlanes and we've come up with something that works really well. To be honest, it's really inflated our ego and the only hard part about using them is the ground.
Parachutes will allow you to customize their size and color in the designer, as well as assign them to an activation group. You will also be able to re-pack them and re-deploy them during flight, which is something you couldn't do in SimpleRockets 1 (or SimplePlanes).
- Mass: 30kg (66 lbs)
- Price: $25,000
- Radius (base): 0.4m (1.3 ft)
- Radius (chute): Resizable from 2.5m to 15m (8.2ft to 50ft)
It really makes it easy to land on atmospherically endowed planets. Mars is still tricky though since its atmosphere has only 1% the density of ours. I'm curious what will happen if you throw a couple of parachutes at it, each with a 50-foot radius. That's over 15,000 square feet of chute. I can't say for sure what would happen. I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but it sounds fun.
Does the parachute fold after landing ?
Can you add weapons to the game
My friend says SimplePlanes sucks but Its fun. He also says this sucks but I already know I’m gonna love it even more.
Glad to see you @SpiritusRaptor
Read the FAQ @wilow
@AndrewGarrison when it will come out simple rockets 2?
Will you have something when you are going through the atmosphere, the rocket starts to burn?
Ooh
@deokil1108 Our drag model takes air density into account, so the physics is already there. We don't have any other elements yet, such as heat and visuals, but that is on the list. Can't say for sure if it will make early access or not.
Is re-entry physics going to be in SR2?
@Wadzworth929 True
Will a capsule be able to have multiple devices on it's nose? Sometimes you don't want to have to choose between a parachute and a docking plug.
@MrTaco true
@MrTaco yea, it should be possible like sr1
You could probably make your own. @Jetspeed1001
Will there be a launch escape system in SR2? like on the Saturn V and other NASA rockets
ahh the puns
@Griffinthedragon The tools will be at your disposal. If you are creative enough you could make it happen.
@Dala1 gracias.
No. Please read this before asking questions.@SovietUnion999
Do u guys have a date yet?
I hope this will be better
@AndrewGarrison can we have the option to put a Tesla in the space, plz
thats good that you make the parachute disappear when it hit ground or water because in sr1 i hated when i landed on smars with my rover and then the parachute stay there and it slowed me down and its was a real pain
