it’s not supposed to turn green, unless it is entering the SOI of another planet. just get the icons close enough so that you get a nice, accurate rendezvous
the amount of RCS thrusters depends on the size and mass of the craft. typically, for a shuttle, you’ll need 12 RCS, radially symmetrical using the symmetry tool
yes, you may use a docking arm. but you will need another docking port to attach the arm

is unreal good for that too? i don’t know anything about unity or unreal, all i know is that they make video games and whatnot
i’m a developer on roblox, and i’ve made a game that turned out to be better than i expected, i understand the feeling of being proud of all the hard work, especially when it pays off
water is denser, and therefore does not require as much fuel tank volume and hydrogen
and, not only that, but water is literally hydrogen and oxygen, making it oxidizer and fuel simultaneously (in my mind)
you can land a spaceplane on brigo by having a very eccentric orbit that leads to the surface
deploy your landing gear, and the slow vertical speed will cause your plane to slowly glide onto the surface, and the horizontal speed will be at about 400 to 700 m/s, depending on what your trajectory looks like
you can also fire your engines backward if you want, but your horizontal velocity must be greater than the vertical velocity
yeah XD

2.3 years agoin real life, all the planets are slight oblate spheres
thankfully, we don't have to worry about that in simplerockets 2 :D
i guess that’s fine, to me at least
2.3 years agoalso i get that you need all of those details for images lol
@plane918273645
2.3 years agothat sounds like lua
@Pedro
2.3 years agowait…what about blimp parts? like, tanks filled with hydrogen, or other light gasses?
hydrolox is the worst because it has a very long delay when you kill throttle
2.3 years agothere probably isn’t, but you can get the lift using traditional math:
2.3 years agoLift = coefficient x ((atmo density x velocity squared) / 2) x wing area
@TronicOrbital @Zenithspeed @DragoranosSR2
2.3 years agothis argument be a lil sus
i actually just realized that i created the already existing formula for travel time, just using the speed of light 😂😂😂
2.3 years agohere are some many options:
2.3 years ago1
2
3
4
5
from experience from sr2 rockets, methalox seems to make it go faster
2.3 years agothe update probably changed that x_x
methalox
2.3 years agono
2.4 years agoi don’t have the update yet :(
2.4 years agoit’s not supposed to turn green, unless it is entering the SOI of another planet. just get the icons close enough so that you get a nice, accurate rendezvous
2.4 years agothe amount of RCS thrusters depends on the size and mass of the craft. typically, for a shuttle, you’ll need 12 RCS, radially symmetrical using the symmetry tool

uh okay…
2.4 years agoi don’t have the update yet so i wouldn’t know what you’re talking about ._.
what exactly are you trying to do?
2.4 years agoaww
2.4 years ago@Zenithspeed @Luckwut
man you guys couldn't figure it out?
turn on has terrain physics in the properties tab
2.4 years ago@Spenzerointernational
ok
2.4 years agowhy?
2.4 years agomeanwhile…
2.4 years agodroodism
2.4 years agoyou guys really couldn't figure out that you need to put the command pod on the fuel tank first?

2.4 years agowhat are you talking about?

2.4 years ago@Plasma01
2.4 years agoo...
@Plasma01
2.4 years agoreally? it will have a recover option? amazing!
highly unusual
2.4 years agothe block isn’t working?
2.4 years agothe number example is 300
2.4 years ago0.3
when will this project begin?
2.4 years agook
2.4 years agoi can also do it from scratch-
i can do enceladus, but i'm not too sure about europa
2.4 years agowater is denser, and therefore does not require as much fuel tank volume and hydrogen

2.4 years agogo to forums and click new forum
@CookieBoy100
2.4 years agoidk
ah
2.4 years agowhy would lose mechanics be a good idea when going supersonic?!!!
2.4 years agoyou can't
2.4 years agothey stay there in the save file forever
huh?
2.4 years agoshould i make one?
2.5 years agoalso, if you look at a solar system, you might be able to find a tag on it called RSS
hm…
2.5 years agowhy? it’s so cool how it is rn
2.5 years agoyou can land a spaceplane on brigo by having a very eccentric orbit that leads to the surface
2.5 years agodeploy your landing gear, and the slow vertical speed will cause your plane to slowly glide onto the surface, and the horizontal speed will be at about 400 to 700 m/s, depending on what your trajectory looks like
you can also fire your engines backward if you want, but your horizontal velocity must be greater than the vertical velocity
make some rockets from ad astra
2.5 years agoor make the lander from the martian
@CanadaDucK
2.5 years agoi'll look into that
turns out ad astra is technically a space horror movie too ;-;
