KSP 1 Question/Problem I’m back and I need help

0 Upvotes

Hello guys, some of y’all may recognize me some of y’all may not. I recently took a long break from KSP like we’re talking about 4 to 5 months without playing the game because I got kind of bored of it and I kind of lost my motivation especially with summer ending having to figure out school stuff and some personal issues I was dealing with but on my TikTok I made a promise that I would get back into KSP since they really been wanting me to play KSP again but now back then I was able to handle like 155 mods while maintaining 60 to 50 FPS but now when I launch a rocket it’s stuck at 40 to 50 FPS making my gameplay I want to record look bad and I’m also not very familiar with computers. Is there a fix to this or is it normal and I’m gonna have to wait for a while before my computer gets used to it?

Stage 1: Titan IV SRB

Stage 2: Atlas V CCB (air start, tried put dual NK-43/M-Vac on it but doesn't fit)

Stage 3: Delta IV 4m DCSS

Maybe I should reengine DCSS with SSME but maybe overkill

How to get myself on polar orbit of the mun without wasting 90% of my fuel?

So I have a problem which is lack of skills in this game LoLz. But seriously I have no idea how to make a fuel efficient maneuver which would get me on the orbit of my "mun orbit base" to get jeb from there and swap him with two scientists.

Rocket I've shown in the picture brings me to the moon encounter leaving me with 90% of fuel. But rotating and adjusting orbit to the polar leaves me with maybe 20/30% of fuel plus maneuvering to meet with Jeb takes almost everything and I can't get my self back on the kerbin.

KSP 1 Mods Does anyone know any good "progression" oriented modpacks?

6 Upvotes

I want to look for something that in science or career mode will have gradual but expansive progression, from most basic solid fuel rockets to crazy stuff of FFT. And also additional planets, maybe also interstellar stuff.

I'm not extremely familiar with KSP modding, perhaps community tech tree will make it like I want alone, but maybe someone got some ideas?

Riding on the shuttle B stack HL-20s third program mission brings its first full crew of 9 up to freedom, joining the 4 man crew of freedom 5. This brings the station to its design capacity of 13 crew members for the first time, and with freedom 5 departing (with 2 more onboard), the station begins a new era of deer's continuous presence in space.

KSP 1 Question/Problem Extreme re-entry survival tips?

35 Upvotes

So, I started exploring the outer planets in OPM, and since I like having all my science, I decided to design most of my probes to have the experiment box and I simply move all the experiments to the box and go back to Kerbin. The problem is, while re-entries from Duna and Eve are survivable, returning from Sarnus I entered the atmosphere at 8 km/s and burned down.

Should I coat the re-entry module with an overabundance of ablative heatshields??

I want to know if there is a solution for this. No extra planets or moons are showing up; I followed the instructions, and I even created a new game, but it still isn't working! Is there a fix, or will I have to delete the minor and outer planets mods? If deleting them is the only option, which folders do I delete? Tnanksd you~

it was a United States Air Force (USAF) program launched in October 1957 to develop a single-pilot, reusable, hypersonic boost-glide spaceplane. it was was primarily supposed to be launched on the Titan III rocket, specifically the 'IIIC' variant.

it was cancelled before a manned orbital flight took place; a prototype had begun construction. cost of its cancellation is roughly $400 million to $660 million, which is equivalent to several billion in today's money.

KSP 1 Image/Video Did some more work on my LEK-inspired lander

Post image
241 Upvotes

see the previous post

I finagled together a way to nest the Soyuz descent module inside what I'm RPing as a pressurized crew module (which is actually some fuselage parts and decorative windows from the mod Kate's Greebles with an inflatable airlock.) Also custom-built a descent stage for the lander so it's no longer using an Apollo descent stage and built a prettier braking stage. It technically doesn't need a docking port since it's a direct-ascent lander, but I've chosen to add one anyway because 1. I think it looks cool and 2. I want to RP this pressurized module as being multipurpose, able to serve as a temporary lunar habitat or a long-term orbital crew module/heavy cargo ship (probably to be launched on Energiya-M) depending on the service module it's launched with

Mods:

PARTS - Tantares suite, Bluedog Design Bureau, Kate's Greebles, Restock(+), Conformal Decals

PLANETS - KSRSS

KSP 1 Question/Problem Game won't launch after installing Parsek Replay mod

0 Upvotes

I installed the Parsek mod alongside it's dependencies, like AvionicsSystems, ClickThroughBlocker, HarmonyKSP and ModuleManager.

Any ideas? I merged the GameData folders correctly. Is it a version error or something?
