      @NavyGuy2OO7 8 років тому +222

      Normally you'd be right but the problem is that Unity uses the CPU for physics calculations more so then the GPU. Add that and the 3gb ram limit for Unity 4 32bit and you are looking at waht has been the bane of KSP players for a long time, that's why 1.1 has been so hyped up.

      +Charles-Antoine Martel-Roy Yeah no, they don't use PhysX for Physics calculations in this engine, it's CPU based. And as the other guy stated this is a problem that the KSP community has been dealing with for a while now considering all the limitations of the engine until they update.

    • @animepotato3631
      @animepotato3631 7 років тому +32

      what you need to do is simply get a shit ton of liquid fuel for the orbit stage, and you need also boosters to get you over 120000 mtrs, then once you are there, simply point the nose of the bloody rocket to the earth's orizon and activate the liquid fuel, and then keep doing it until the tragetory gets on a orbit.
      Also, and orbit is only an orbit when the ship isn't going to hit at any point 70000 mtrs or less, this is a sub-orbit.
      Also, to get back to Kerbin, you are going to need a small Solid fuel booster, use the flea if you are still on the initial stages.
      Because after some time on the dark, cold orbit, the liquid fuel freezes and you will find yourself stranded on orbit without a slight chance of coming back.
      (Also use a heat shield under the command pot, its really useful)

      @winged 6 років тому +9

      Eon you are completely wrong. RSS resizes stock planets to the real sizes so delta V requirements are very accurate. The most unrealistic things here are mass requirements for habitation and consumables. But there are mods to keep them real as well.
      With all of the realism mods you will end up with 2x the mass of this rocket on the launch pad. This is about 10 Saturn V launches.
      Obviously the rocket shown here would never be used, it would be divided into many smaller launches.

    • @winged
      @winged 6 років тому +5

      This rocket wouldn't but two times heavier would be about right. Look at the NASA DRA 5.0 - the total planned launch mass was about 26000 metric tons ( 8 Ares V launches) - so that's two times heavier than the rocket shown here.

      Funnily enough, that's apparently how KSP works these days to avoid coordinate-based glitches destroying rockets in deep space. Rather than having the fixed coordinate be the sun, or Kerbin, they changed it so that the controlled ship is functionally the centre of the universe at all times. It fixed the bug, but in the process it introduced a new glitch that could _destroy the entire universe._

      If you do it right (and your payload isn't too heavy) you can make your orbit stage also be the escape, capture and even partly the landing stage.

      ***** Really nicely done. Best written explanation for that whole kaboodle I've read before. I'll admit that in 1.02 I've only made 2 successful returns from the Mun, non of which actually completed the missions they set out to do in their entirety. I believe attempting a rescue from orbit of the mun, a rescue from the surface and landing two tourists on the surface and get all 4 back home again in a single launch is a bit much so early in career mode. Just don't have the parts I need! :'(

      Keep your rockets light and simple.
      Most people overkill their rockets and they're too heavy and waste too much fuel.
      Remember a trip to the Mun is mostly in a vacuum you do not need the biggest most powerful rockets.
      One long small fuel tank and the small liquid engine is enough to travel back from the mun. If you can break orbit with this stage plus a little left over in the previous stage, you'll have enough, considering you're on a straight shot to the mun and wont have to create several maneuvers to reach the muns gravity well. Wait for the time of day to have you lined up with the mun, so when you break kerbal orbit, you're basically headed straight for the muns gravity well. Let the mun pull you in, and try to skim onto the surface. OR you can try a suicide straight into it, but this wastes alot of fuel.
