This thing is so dangerous for so many reasons. It came within seconds of destroying itself tempurature-wise, if you went over too big of a bump it'd smite itself into ash, accidentally hitting the D-key would destroy you before you had a chance to roll. Love it.
I actually made a plane that can go over 1400 km/h. With stock parts. The only reason it can't go faster is because it blows itself up due to heat friction.
Very cool. I like that the pilot seat is basically "sit here so you don't roast, and strap in so you don't pancake. And remember to have fun with it!" I've got to wonder how long it took to find that speeds over 1810 led to RUD.
Actually a pretty well made video dude :) . I tried doing this last year and if my memory serves me correct, i tried basing my design off of the real vheicle used to make the landspeed record (can't remember the name right now) . I only got to like 380m/s though, then it would overheat or crash because it was trying to take off lmao. I was going to upload it but i figured other people would have gotten a lot faster but i'm pretty sure the video is long gone now anyways lol. And i was going to suggest going to the Arctic (there's a certain place i like to go but i don't know if it has a specific name or not) because it appears to be verrrrryyyy flat.
Come for the music, stay for the inspiration. :) (Still can't forgive you for that SSTO April fools video. One of the only April fools pranks I fell for. Curses)
Thanks! No, I'm not a professional editor, nor do I have any formal training. This is just something that I've learned (and am still learning!) as a hobby :)
amazing! nearly orbital velocity on land! wouldnt that be cool lol, i wonder is active cooling with a radiator or something could achieve that? anywho, rock on you god of youtube and ksp!
sorry to burst your bubble but orbital velocity is around 17,000 MPH. he only reached around 4,000 MPH.KSP speeds do not match up with real life speeds. there are mods to fix that though.
I've seen secrets revealed to me on stuff I've always wanted to crack about land speed. You'd ve been damn hard to beat during the Island Express challenge.
Thanks! Trust me, there were plenty of fatal attempts. Even this design can have random RUDs when getting up to speed. But don't worry, all my kerbals were wearing their safety ties so everything was okay in the end.
Thanks! :) Indeed, Bradley Whistance did go faster, with the help of mods. However, this record is 100% stock, so for now, I think this is the fastest anyone has gone in a stock game.
Not to cast doubt or anything on a great video, but didn't Bradley Whistance show that going over 1500m/s in stock KSP was impossible on land without physics mods due to ground collision failing at such speeds? Unless perhaps such things are based on hardware limitations of your rig.
Well, from my experiments, there is no one speed where the terrain collision bug occurs. His craft encountered the bug at 1540 m/s, while my speeder encounters it at 1812 m/s (This is why I slam the brakes before reaching that speed). I don't think hardware limits this either because I tested my speeder at 60 FPS and 30 FPS and it encountered the bug at the same speed. All of this makes me think the bug is a function of acceleration rather than speed. See, my craft accelerated at 15 Gs for most of the run, and reached a speed of 1812 m/s before the bug struck. However, when I lowered the thrust (thus decreasing the acceleration), the craft failed at a lower speed. In fact, at 1/6 throttle, it only got up to a speed of 1400 m/s before the ground kraken struck! There is clearly something more complicated going on here. I will definitely do so more experiments to learn more and if it warrants it, I think I'll make a video explaining my findings.
Stratzenblitz75 Thanks for the prompt response! I've tried making similar craft myself, but often found them catastrophically overheating or just tumping over once they got around 1000 m/s. Best result I had funnily enough slowly began lifting itself off the ground and began skimming over the surface before colliding back with the earth.
Yep, that describes a lot of my early attempts. For heating, I've found that a fairing is sufficient up to 1800 m/s at 15 G (it cuts it close though: I used the heatshields just to make it more reliable). The bouncing is another major problem. To stop that, I set the spring and dampening of the wheels to the max, and set the friction control to 0. This stops the oscillations in the wheels. To further improve stability, I added locked control surfaces to the back, and set one of the flaps on top of provide downward force. In all, it makes a fairly stable system. Although, it still can randomly crash at high-speed.
I'm not sure if this could be the cause, but here are my two cents: I don't know how KSP handles setting the origin point (maybe it sets it to the vehicle location when you board it?), but I do know KSP is made in Unity, and there, I know for a fact that; the farther away from the origin point you are in Unity, the more the physics system starts making errors. Physics in Unity are calculated using "float" numbers. A float is limited to 32 bits, and thus the bigger the number (more digits before the decimal point), the less decimal places (digits after the decimal point) are available, and thus accuracy drops. In extremis, you would simply run out of of decimal places, and with it, all hopes of any accurate physics calculations. You would not be reaching that point here, but accuracy is dropping with every magnitude you travel (10's, 100's, 1000's, ... of meters from origin). With a lower acceleration, you would need to travel farther to reach a certain speed, and thus, you would encounter physics errors at a lower speed.
Jan Tuts if I recall this used to be a huge issue in oldschool KSP. I believe to fix this they made it so the ship is now stationary and everything moves around the ship? Could be wrong. But I am familiar with float and floating point errors to an extent.
I'm a bit late to the party, but I suspect the reason that there's a speed limit before craft falls through the ground is how PhysX, and consequently Unity, handles primitive sweep probes against static mesh geometry. Instead of sweeping the object you're colliding, PhysX will sweep the triangles of the mesh and test intersection against the formed triangular prism. Mathematically that's equivalent to sweeping a part collision, say that of the wheel, along the ground to see where the impact happens. The Z drop due to gravity and aerodynamic downforces isn't all that great from one frame to the next. So as you start going faster and faster, the swept prism becomes nearly flat. At some point, it becomes numerically degenerate, and that will allow allow the wheels and other geometry to start clipping into terrain without generating a contact force, until finally, one of the parts detects that it's well within ground moving at near-orbital speed and promptly explode. The rest of the craft follows. Increasing downforce might actually help you push this a little further. I'm sure there are structural stress limits to consider as well, but if there's any room left to wiggle there, it might let you squeeze out a few more m/s of top speed without disintegration.
That's an intriguing hypothesis, but I don't think that's whats happening in this case. Check out this study I did on the terrain colliders: forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/160697-the-speed-of-ground-a-study-into-how-ksp-terrain-colliders-handle-land-vehicles-with-high-magnitudes-of-velocity/ Overall, my data strongly suggests that there is a hard-coded speed at which the game stops loading new terrain colliders.
@@Stratzenblitz75 That actually looks very convincing. Makes me wonder where that number comes from. I might play with this on other planetary bodies. Thanks!
yeah, a Mobo, a PSU and a SSD/HDD. Who the hell uses dvd drives anymore? all they do is make your case look bad. Anyways, a CPU, GPU and RAM are the Most important things in a PC. Now you might say "the OS is more important"... think about that again.

just found your channel and I think it's simply amazing :D, binged most of your videos and can see you've improved severely with making videos :O
I actually made a plane that can go over 1400 km/h.
With stock parts.
The only reason it can't go faster is because it blows itself up due to heat friction.
Mine cruises at ~5,400KH or ~ 1500m/s and can do a full kerbin run in 30 minutes
That's actually pretty amazing.
I mean, it doesn't blow itself up, so that's already an improvement over mine!

Try flying it in extreme outer atmosphere. The friction won't be as bad then.

this is awesome
And I thought that my aircraft that could do a 30-minute kerbin run (from the runway back to the runway without turning) was impressive...
Could you go so fast on land that your velocity is greater than gravity and will make your vehicle to literally fly off the planet?
That's what the flap on the top of the vehicle is for, to keep the vehicle on the ground. Removing it would cause the car to act more like a rocket.
