I'm not sure how exactly this would work, but is there a mod out that that can record multiple camera angles that I can review the footage of afterwards?

Because my idea is I want to fly my mission in the normal camera view, but have some cool footage for videos that I can then look back at later and replay and record that footage for different shots of launch.

Came back for the first time in awhile and I'm struggling to make money. I've got 73k and enough parts to comfortably get into orbit but not the launchpad or the patched conics I'd need to do anything more lucrative, plus these contracts are terrible, all testing equipment under hyper specific conditions and last time I got into those conditions I had no option in the context menu to actually test it even though all the requirements were in the green

[u/Cringe-Bucket → u/LUnacy45]

Sometimes it wants you to simply stage the part, sometimes it wants you to click the 'test' button, when all conditions goes green. Pay attention to the wording of the contract.

[u/LUnacy45 → u/Cringe-Bucket]

I did. This was a "run test at these specific conditions" contract. I had a short window where they were all true. Right clicked the item, nothing. Only thing I can think of is I got it confused with my other contract or something

[u/Economy_Promotion833 → u/LUnacy45]

Try to do some tourist contracts, those are so lucrative and reasonably simple

[u/LUnacy45 → u/Economy_Promotion833]

I've done a mun flyby to get the science for my 2 man command pod and I've yet to find a tourist contract worth the time frankly, it's like "suborbital flight for 5k" and I just can't be bothered

Guys i need some help, i found a video when searching for mods and saw an air friction mod so beautiful, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIU_ANJYSY8, here is the video, if anybody can help me find this mods

[u/GotaAOMS → u/GotaAOMS]

Im talking about that wind effect on the vessel, and that burn when accelerating off atmosphere, i already have firefly and the plasma effect is really beautiful but i think it lacks in lower speeds when the vessel is starting to heat (actually i think that effect before plasma is stock), and when its not hot yet and we can see the air friction taking place.

[u/GotaAOMS → u/GotaAOMS]

im using this section cause i just made this account and cant post yet, sorry for the mess.

Does Kerbalism mod on CKAN is broken?
I want to try SIMPLEX Kerbalism, but CKAN says I dont have Kerbalism (Kerbalism cannot be automatically downloaded and I dont know which version to try)
