Raptor N1 (RO in KSP 1.12)

what is your discord server name or link?

A Saturn V with N1 engines or vice versa would be an interesting video idea if it hasn't been done yet

[@judet2992]

Vice versa? So engines with no Saturn V?

[@cristianshay227]

@@judet2992 it was my bad, typed 0 instead of 1, hope now the comment makes sense thanks for pointing that out

[@judet2992]

@ oh ok. Would be a funny April fools video.

Saturn N?

[@jasiojakubowski2235]

Glushko planned to use highly efficient, stage combustion RD-270 engines, working on UDMH/N2O4 mixture, but Korolev refused to use toxic propellants.

Why aren't you using mechjeb's pvg for this? I mean I guess it's fun manually flying these rockets but that would be more consistent for comparisons

[@federicojimenez383]

the same question I asked myself

[@RaizSpace]

I would use my kOS script if I wanted to, not MechJeb. I just wanted to feel out the difference here.

[@federicojimenez383]

@@RaizSpace Ok, Mechjeb sometimes gets delta-v predictions wrong in stages.

[@jeceratops5280]

It was awhile since the conversations over cooled/subcooled propellents, but it was done so you could get more accurate performance with procedural parts of my memory functions

[@p.e.k.k.a8029]

I think you should try this again with subcooled methane and subcooled oxygen since raptor uses that

[@RaizSpace]

Don't you have to change the configs? Why are you suggesting it to me when it's your parts?

[@p.e.k.k.a8029]

I was suggesting it to know if there is interest in that idea

[@grungar3x7]

Perhaps do three R-Vacs on the second stage?

[@JJzerro]

why not to get rid of fairings right after leaving the atmosphere?

[@RaizSpace]

Because this is how they did it - the fairings were huge, heavy, and surrounding the spacecraft, so it was safer to do it when there wasn't any thrust happening.

[@unpluggedlamp1]

so is nk-15 superheavy possible

[@RaizSpace]

No - you'd need too many of them and they won't fit.

Was the ( Now Playing - " ) in the top left intentional? It seems like a random piece of text.

[@caltrops11]

Sometimes he plays music while he streams and song information appears there. No song playing = no song title there. I don't know if he uses obs or some other software for his stream scene but I imagine it's easier to just leave it there than reconfigure it every time he stops listening to music.

[@xbrsq]

@@caltrops11 ah, that makes sense.

[@RaizSpace]

In this case, it was a mistake leftover from when I was streaming.

[@grungar3x7]

Are the fairings taken into account?
