    To me, these challenges and crazy things fall more in line with speedrunning than normal gameplay. KSP isn't really... speedrun-able, it has no end goal. But all these challenges bring out that same energy of optimization, glitch-hunting, and using different versions of the game for runs that are only possible in that version.

      @Stratzenblitz75  4 роки тому +119

    8:20 The oscillations you have noticed are actually phugoid oscillations. that is due to having no flight control surfaces, so your plane will dip and start accelerating, but this will increase lift and thus makes you pitch back up, but then you will lose speed until you pitch back down and the cycle repeats. you can even see the speed go up and down in the video. (yes i actually knew the phenomenon and had to look it up)

That means Saturn V had a weight to distance ratio of 0.062 kilometers per pound while this SSTO had a weight to distance ratio of 1175.929 kilometers per pound, making it 18966.596 times more weight efficient than the Saturn V rocket (numbers are rounded to the nearest thousandth) (not taking into account gravity assists, orbital distance, and engine exploitations) good job man

    I think using old versions of any kind is fine, as long as it’s made clear (and if it’s a really really old version preferably at the start), but every old version was once the cutting edge and using them is still interesting.

    • @Stratzenblitz75
      @Stratzenblitz75  4 роки тому +1

      I don't know about dynamic soaring, but a 180 degree turn is possible. You lose a bit of speed as expected, but that's easily made up for a small burn afterwards.

    This is totally fine and fun as long as it is clear that bug-mode is enabled. Also quirks around quick safe and reloading should fall in this category. Except when save/reload is used to counter bugs. Like when a base planted on a surface keeps wobbling and gliding.
    But still this feels like less of an achievement than for example the Jets to Orbit video, or the Duna on Electric Power one. Somehow if you know the physics are somewhat realistic it speaks more to the imagination.

    • @Stratzenblitz75
      @Stratzenblitz75  4 роки тому

      Yes, I agree that this is less of an achievement than those past videos. Having some basis in reality does it make it much cooler.
