@@stadtrepublikmulhausen4121 ah, you too, I almost said jool once
I love how he goes into the hanger and instantly starts building these great looking designs, I go into the hanger and 30mins later I have a subpar looking plane that half the time won't even fly, let alone make it to space.
He has probably practiced the design many times before recording
It's all about the center of gravity balance. It's actually a lot harder without nuclear engine, since you basically have to accelerates inside the upper atmosphere and everything begins to overheat, then shoots up to space.
Planes aren't that tough - couple things to remember about basic aerodymanics and IRL flight... you'll find building a KSP airplane is pretty easy.
First time I ever played KSP on my buddies computer - I set out to build a plane. My buddy got all snooty "dude... you'll" never make it fly, planes are hard in this game"
Threw some parts togeather, zip zap zoop, noticed icon that had CG symbol on it... perfect, lift, need lift... other button ah... got it.
Adjusted wings and empanage until those were where I wanted them. Had to ask about how to rotate, and precisely set/move parts...
I created a plane that had a vague resemblance to the F86 sabre.
It "launch" chuckled a little at the antics of the little green goober "piloting" my machine.
Throttled her up, and started a takeoff roll, waited for the shock on the nose gear to get light - applyed a little backstick, and it rotated and flew just fine, takeoff was achieved at 80 m/s. Buddy was like "uhhh... how?! Y u no have SAS on?! "
"SAS? Wuzzat?" Says I
Yeah, SAS stability control... how are you flying without it?"
Says I "Well, by applying a small amount of dihedral angle to this planes wings - and balancing the distance between the tailplane and wings, then setting that in relation to the CG of the aircraft - I've created a plane that is a tiny bit heavy in the nose in relation to its center of lift - meaning it's inherently stable, and will stall predictably and in a nose down attitude, and when flown hands off, it tries to return to level flight. Don't you know how things fly? You took physics in highschool like I did... right?"
Blank stare... drools a bit.
He was basing his design on a previously made one, that he knew already flew. Assuming that most of the parts were the same, they would likely handle similarly.

Is that a joke?
I wish I could build a good looking ssto like that BUT NO I CAN ONLY BULD A SSTO THAT CAN GET TO ORBIT AND BACK... THE ONLY TIME I GOT A SPACE PLANE TO THE MUN I STRAPED IT TO A ROCKET TO GET IT INTO ORBIT... AND THEN I FLEW IT TO THE MUN LANDED ON THE MUN AND THEN WENT HOME...
Except for the fact that the landing gear design is unrealistic

@@MattLowne Your humour can get very dark, you know.
@@MattLowne What is this heresy?!
KRAKEN SOLUTION HERE!!
Matt, there is a simple solution to the Kraken death shake problem. There is no need for strut spamming, or turning off auto-strut or SAS, warping, etc Notice, the problem only happens with complex ships or when ships are combined/docked. Two docked ships effectively create one complex ship. What they all have in common are multiple possible control points. The problem appears to be the result of confusion/competition between those control parts (probe cores, docking ports, etc.) as to whom is in control of the ship.
SOLUTION: Simply right click on any part with the option "Control from here", and assign control to that part. It doesn't matter which one you choose, and the Kraken goes away. It's just that simple.
I discovered this solution years ago, and have not lost a single ship to it since.
Good luck!

Never thought the words “fun, relaxing and enjoyable” would describe the process of building an SSTO.
I built a barely stable aeroplane in ksp last night and I was so proud of myself, then there's this guy...
well done! I got a Kerbal off of the launch pad
I gotta be honest, every spaceplane you make look great, but 4:17 but this does look pretty amazing
The thumbnail: that's nice!
Speed build and seeing dlc parts: WRRYYYYYYYYYYY

Matt: *Does literally anything*
Elon Musk: “WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!!”
I like the idea of building an aerospace company for the sole purpose of funding your theme park dreams.
I literally got my first SSTO to fly TODAY, like 20 minutes ago😅.
I had enough DeltaV to get to LKO, and then BARELY back on the runway, I basically had to glide it in🤦🏼♂️.
Took me like 5 days worth of work, but I think I finally got the concept of building functional SSTO’s down. Watching your videos has made me so much better at KSP it’s not even funny. Before I found your channel, I struggled to get to Dina without being worried about stranding Bob😂
"It's a bit risky to review the whiskey..."
I feel that aesthetic part clipping that doesn't clip engines so they look like one, is definitely acceptable
Oh no I can’t do energy drinks because caffeine, *oh how about coffee*
This is the earliest I've been for a youtube upload.
12:00 Matt trying his hardest not to commit a thought crime
John Doe it have comes so far that I can’t help but feel weird if people name the virus, and I try not to refer to it as well
I’m getting KSP tomorrow and I’m so pumped about it! Thank you for showing me how absolutely fuccin amazing it is!
Remember: The apoasis is the more effective orbit location to make a turn
Matt: this can land of minmus with tons of fuel to spare
Also Matt: I didn't really have enough fuel to circularize at Kerbin
I always find it funny when you say "Hello one and all to a new video" because of how little sense it makes. Absolute perfection
Matt using the KAL!!
I didn't know it auto-starts! That's cool
@@MattLowne That's not all though, you can set fully custom RPM on rotors too! Also it can do special stuff to non-robotic things like alter RGB of lights and mess with wheel properties and junk :D
Let's just agree that his Tranquility class boxwing SSTO looks the coolest.
She was a beauty! All that was needed was a relay antenna and some RCS thrusters and you've got all you could possibly need on it. Well done on making the jump to robotics BTW!
This is a really great looking SSTO! It would be awesome to see you build some epic SSTOs for the OPM!
Mat your a inspiration and a hero keep up the good work
Thanks Matt for the amazing vids and tuts. You have made my ksp experience memorable. I have learned from. Your vids and this one too. Keep it up. I will watch every one I can.
Suggestion: have you tried binding the pitch, yaw, and roll control of your control surfaces to an action group, so that you don't have to manually activate and deactivate them every time?
Another great build. Stop apologising for everything. Things like part clipping etc are awesome when it's form over function, or just form in general. Build crazy ships, and I will watch.
I've always done the same, if I have to clip parts I eyeball how much space I've overlapped up as a rough % and then just take away that much fuel. Feels like a good compromise.
I don't feel guilty clipping because it weighs the same as two tanks and unless you do it a specific way it still counts the aero forces the same too. All it does it make it shorter
He can make SSTOs that are funcional AND looks good, I can’t even make a functional one.
Discord crew assemble!
Matt: “Space frogs”
Kerbals:
*That’s racist*
I would love to see an SSTO trip to Moho and Eeloo. Especially Eeloo, it seems to never get shown much on UA-cam. There's a weird exploratory feel I get from going to Eeloo, I think it has to do with it being so far away from Kerbin and the sun, that it feels as if I am exploring uncharted land.
never played KSP but enjoy videos by people better at me than scientific stuff and also space travel so this stuff is super fun. it gives me a goal i can work towards, to eventually understand more than a quarter of the bigger words
Matt Lowne makes the best aircraft and spacecraft
since the mk 2 parts have a small amount of lift, could you use them as main wings without an unreasonable amount if thrust?
hmmmmm
Half this video: KSP stuff.
The other half: I can't talk about this and can't talk about that but I hope you are all okay during the thing I also can not talk about.
I maintain that Southern Comfort is a good whiskey to mix with Coke. Wouldn't drink it straight, though.
As for KSP, I have two land bases on Eve, with a plane that travels between and refuels when it gets to each end. I also have a large space station in Eve Orbit, a mining base on Gilly, and a refueler that travels between the Gilly base and the Eve Orbit Station.
My entire set-up can transfer crew from LKO to Eve Orbit and back with permanent refuelable rockets, and gets from Kerbin to LKO and back with a small SSTO. At the moment, the only way I can get crew back from Eve surface is by sending single-use multi-stage rockets. What I'm after is a refuelable Eve SSTO.
I use mods - fuel tank switch, KIS, KAS, and a few others - so I can't use a lot of downloadable craft files. But I wouldn't mind some inspiration and just to know if it's possible.
Matt: “COD is COPPA Compliant, right?”
9 year olds on COD WWII: *am I a joke to you?*
That was fun. So glad this video fell into my recommended. I'll be coming back round this place again soon for sure.
You should build a VTOL ssto where the VTOL engines can stow away into the fuselage
3:25 - THE KAL 1000 IS BLACK MAGIC.

Matt, what do you like more, Making history pack or the breaking ground pack
Trajan Koberg if you are considering buying one, I would definitely recommend breaking ground. It features the robotic parts and surface features. However, if you find the idea of recreating historical missions appealing, maybe choose making history instead. If you are considering buying making history just for the 5m parts, just use a mod. That’s pretty much it.
Everybody thinks of Making History as a parts pack, but it really isn’t. It’s main feature was the Mission Builder, which was kind of a failure, based on how much it gets used. Breaking Ground, in my opinion, is better in general, but it’s worth noting that one of the main pieces of content, the surface features, don’t work on old saves.
the surface features work if you just go into the game files and change a single number
Disbeetaa Where
@@t65bx25
Literally just typed your question in. The answer:
HOW TO ENABLE NEW DLC SURFACE FEATURES INTO YOUR EXISTING SAVE IF YOU OWN THE DLC:
DISCLAIMER: You are doing this at your own risk so make a back up! There is a possibility that you may have a base/ landed vessel where these will spawn in - you have been warned!
1. Generate a new save
2. Go into the Kerbal Space Program>saves folder
3. Open the persistant.sfs file in notepad
4. Locate the ROCSeed # and copy it (see image)
5. Paste into the old save at the same line
6. Save it and give it a go!

You are welcome!
I swear, I was wondering (hoping) just a couple hours ago if you were going to upload a KSP video for your next vid, and here it is. Awesomeness.
If you start coffee reviews, at least *try* Tim Hortons in London. Cheers from Canada!

Fun Fact: The Space Shuttle doesn't in fact have a rudder. It's a speed brake that deploys to slow a shuttle down. It is though, portrayed in the game as a rudder.
Hello Matt, I’ve just got into ksp and I love watching ur videos :)
Yo Matt,
This is probably one of the first times I have been this early. I hope you are great!
I have a video suggestion: I was wondering if you could perhaps make a vtol ssto using the propeller parts for a duna or laythe mission. It's rare to see people using the propeller rotor parts, I guess in that capacity, and it would definitely be interesting to see!
Perhaps to extend this concept, the duna base could be extended with a mining and fuel processing building/section that has an airlock/docking port or clamp-o-tron so that it can land vertically on the roof and get refilled for long exploration journeys and maybe even for return trips.
Regardless, I hope all is well for you and your fam!
Lets all clap for Matt, after all he's an essential worker
👏👏👏
Amazing plane ya got there....
5:35
the rapiers start to choke on their aspirations
i dont know who was getting on to you about the way you say bourbon but as a kentuckian myself you were spot on
I love SSTO launch profiles, you just see the planet drop faster and faster
I do love the way it looks (it's alot better than any ssto I could make 😂😂)
I cannot get over "hello everyone to this video” it’s so jarring
That's a beautiful spacecraft if I've ever seen one.
What no whiskey reviews. Damn! Ok, something else I guess. What I like to drink in the morning is a hot but a bit sweet drink of PG tips and a couple of Cranberry Orange Scone. Don't worry Matt if you aren't following me on this. I know when I was a lad I would consume gallons and and gallons of Typhoo tea. But nothing hits the spot as well as PG tips. Where it prepares me for the long morning ahead.
1- I quite KSP years ago and started again a few weeks ago. I’m gonna need a new computer. Recommendations keeping in mind KSP2.
2 - Bourbons: Bookers, Makers 46, and Baisil Hayden’s are my top 3.
Corey Rose How much money do you have to put into your computer ? That's the missing thing, with the type of monitor you are using :)
But the sweet 1080@144 or 1440p60Hz at the moment is :
-R5 3600
-B450 motherboard
-2*8Gb of ddr4 3000MhzC15
-Rx 5600xt
- 550W bronze psu
-a case you like
- At least 480Gb of storage, including an ssd
Will maybe depend a bit on your local market price tho
Thanks Matt. Informative and fun. Keep up the good work!

UA-cam is weird. First they decide they dont want kid-friendly content, and now they decide you can’t talk about adult subjects either
Whisky Reviews could B a separate thing, not for kids, while KSP could B 4 everyone.
I miss the old days when Matt would make these videos
Matt: this ssto is so good looking.
Me: hold my sprite. swept wing
I'm not even 3 minutes in & this SSTO is Swag AF, my dude.
2 years late but that is a very purdy ssto
i have a suggestion for large space stations you have a backup feature so it can seperate or self destruct
Wow, didn’t know that in the UK that younger teens can’t buy/consume energy drinks! at the high school I go to freshmen and sophomores walk around with them all the time lol. Even some middle schoolers do, but they quickly get told to put it away or finish it and then throw it away.
Stay healthy!
ever try to make custom landing gear to make super stable landing gear by using pistons to increase the base radius and a controller attached to the landing gear button? It's very satisfying and you can have all parts of the gear retract into the body to make the vessel streamlined
Matt's best looking SSTO indeed
E P I C
Hello from France. Your videos are always restful, that's just incredibly pleasant. Thank you for your wonderful work despite demonetization
MATT!
I don't care that this is a KSP video rather than planet coaster, but yesterday (15th May) was the first anniversary for the start of velocity lake.
Just thought you should know. Anyway time to watch the video
I sometimes call Mars Duna. I can call Earth Earth, Jupiter Jupiter, but for some reason I always call Mars Duna
2 months later and I still don't understand how a video game about literal rocket science can appeal to children
16:53 - If you have trouble landing on Minmus, you're doing something wrong.
Funnily enough this is my exact "style" too. Good looking plane, Matt.
Nice ssto, the vtol minmus ssto though....that's some of your best looking work (discounting the overused and overpowered nuke/rapier combo)
