Well, hello again everyone! It's nice to see you so soon! I'm trying to be more productive in video making and so I'm hoping to move towards a bi-monthly to weekly upload schedule. Of course, the scale of these projects will smaller, but I'm hoping they will be entertaining and valuable nonetheless. I've neglected lots of interesting small ideas in the past and I feel it would be good to start making them into videos for the channel. Large projects will always have a place on this channel too. In fact, I'm hoping that working on these smaller projects will give me more practice to make my ambitious projects even better. Also, huge thanks to Bradley Whistance for creating this challenge and for helping me with piloting and doing experiments! I've learned a ton from him and I can't thank him enough for that. As always, please let me know what you think!

Hey could you tell me the coordinates for the runway? Thanks.

[@astronut42]

@Stratzenblitz75 I'm pretty sure you can use the KAL-1000 controller from the Breaking Ground DLC to create thrust curves. It is a bit of an exploit, and I'm not sure if you wanted to do this DLC-free, but it is an option nonetheless.

[@BradleyWhistance]

I'm gonna have to assess you a penalty due to lack of alpacas contained in the video. Through the pits once.

[@Stratzenblitz75]

You CAN adjust the SRB thrust curve in stock. Just map the SRB thrust limiter to throttle and you can adjust it retroactively.

[@Stratzenblitz75]

That is true, but I dislike that option since it essentially turns the SRB into a bad liquid fuel engine. Part of the fun is that you can't adjust the throttle after they are fired.

[@jamiemerritt3533]

@@Stratzenblitz75 Idk if your definition of stock includes DLC but you could use the controller from breaking ground if you could get the timing right

[@gonun69]

Wait you can do that? That's pretty interesting.

[@rockspoon6528]

Smells like cheating to me. Edit: Which is a dumb scent to pick up on, since the solution was to clip parts together.

[@joshuasims5421]

Mapping the thrust limiter to throttle sounds like cheating, but mapping the thrust limiter to the breaking ground controller to play through a set thrust profile just sounds like a stock solution to me!

[@chrisc1140]

An impressive accomplishment! I saw at least a bit of the streams of what all went into creating this craft, and was pretty amazed at how much effort and (shudder) even math went into it! Tangential, it's amazing how different some of those turns look at 380+m compared to the 50 or so meters I took them at in my run

[@Stratzenblitz75]

Thank you! Yea, the run is much nicer at a higher altitude. You can cut the canyon walls closer and thus take a more efficient trajectory.

[@thatsstoguy]

FYI if you turn on "deploy shielded" on the landing gear it will always let them extend

[@Electric_Bagpipes]

_Brad casually launches srb ssto in the distance_

[@Stratzenblitz75]

I'll have you know I was the first one to do this kind of SRB design. Brad watched my stream and stole it *shakes fist angrily*. (I'm joking of course. Brad's mission was insanely cool. If anything, I'm jealous of just how fast he put it together while I was still working through this design)

[@iain3713]

When I saw I was halfway through and only had 4 stages left, I felt like I wasn't going to make it. But fortunately, those 4 stages took me the rest of the distance.

We've done something similar in the Mosel river valley in Germany... A friend of mine was flying his aerobatics plane with me as a passenger. It was awesome and terrifying at the same time. It wasn't always possible to fly below the surrounding surface because of bridges and power lines. But it was possible often enough.
