Anyone want to see a mun speedrun next? Or would you rather see a boat record?

[@akashlaptop-h7e]

mun all the way btw love your vids pls make more i am even subbed

[@randomcup293]

boat

[@vincentbamboo2260]

Both actually plz

[@JetJeb5648]

boat i´d like to see you deal with ksp2s janky water physics

[@Pengweenu]

Can you make a guided missle in besiege please

[@jakeking974]

I'm 99% sure by now that velocity, speed, pressure, etc are still tied to frame rate, meaning if you drop significant frames, you only get a very small portion of those things until the game smooths out, which usually completely screws everything

[@ReidCaptain]

That's kinda messed up, I should try again on my GTX 960

[@cavemann_]

@@ReidCaptain Ayy GTX 960 gang 🔥 I love the gpu market...

[@shy8054]

​@ReidCaptain can't you just limit your current GPU? Or have it use your CPU integrated gpu if it has one?

[@Roaxial]

If you could somehow clip through the ground and end up under the surface, would that still satisfy the condition of not leaving the ground? If not, the optimal strategy is probably to try and get as close as possible to the planet's center and use gravity to accelerate to a really high speed.

[@ReidCaptain]

There's no way that counts

[@NomIsReal]

It somehow does, if you dont leave the planet

[@someguywithatophat7599]

@@ReidCaptain even if it did, all it would do is add a new rule lmao

[@hmmsus2003]

[@larrywhitney]

How would you even do that

[@bondok9174]

Try turning off auto friction control on the wheels it might help

[@hexlart8481]

Specifically the front 2 wheels, thats where a lot of the twisting motion comes from especially in the first tests.

[@mrmunchkin2181]

The only problem is that Jeb is probably meant to live at the end of the land speed record test.

[@Ragnar.Ok.]

Land speed record only counts if the Kerbal survives. Them are the rules.

[@JJayzX]

You also don't round the numbers up.

[@zachhuff8169]

"I almost got the 950 I needed so I could round up to 1000" yes

[@Thoriumplatypus5263]

There’s a bug currently going around that dramatically increases the drag of certain parts, one of those parts are the cargo bays. Neither the cargo bays or the fairings shield what’s in them from drag so just don’t use them. I can’t tell if the final run used a capsule or a seat in a cargo bay but if it didn’t you might want to address that

[@Thoriumplatypus5263]

Oh also fairings have increased drag as well as well as Probe cores The couplers and stage separators

[@jayveez4884]

You disintegrated due to the high speed? STABILIZERS. You managed to survive, but you're still slow? MOAR BOOSTERS *basically the whole video*

[@Borutpahorbjmachine]

a big mistake was putting 2 gear on the front, have 2 on the back and 1 front so most of the friction is in the back making it more stable

[@alexisbagacina6401]

Santa's technology sure is baffling

the ultimate KSP 2 challenge, quit playing it until it's fixed :P

[@warriorsabe1792]

If you were wondering, the reason your sleds were initially running off the runway the opposite way you steered is because when engine gimbal tries to steer you left, it has to turn the opposite way, pushing to the right, and with how close they were to the center of mass that push to the right was stronger than the torque to the left and so it couldn't turn the vehicle enough to compensate. If you had them further back, as with the stabilizer fins, that torque would be stronger and it would more efficiently turn your vehicle before it started pushing you off course.

[@pretendawatch]

It really seems like KSP2 hates ground vehicles even more than KSP1 and the physics need a lot of work before land cruisers can even work.

[@user-tc9tb3a]

Tune friction control to solve the self-turning issue

[@ReidCaptain]

I tried that but it had very little effect, however I only changed it a couple of times haphazardly

[@ez_theta_z9317]

@@ReidCaptain i think turning off auto steering and friction control fixes the issue

[@KinneKitsune]

It seems a bit strange to have a rule where you can't leave the ground, but half your vehicle has left the vehicle

[@allugavert8770]

This was cool! Now try to create a speedrecord when there is a kerbal on board and you cannot leave re runway. So you have to accelerate and stop on the runway and keep the kerbal and the vehicle alive

[@tobiasegger2838]

[@dysonpro123gaming7]

The glitching into the ground I’m pretty sure is because the centre of thrust is above the centre of mass

bro you know we all want an eva record and dont deny it

I was waiting for you to make the wheels non motorised and mess with the friction settings, especially at the front.

[@felixyoung9104]

Tell Blitz, InterndotGif and RCE your speed record, they did a land speed record challenge too.

[@alecteron]

just a question, in besiege, how do you get the wooden panels? for me, it does not show up. is it a mod I need to download? and if it is, what mod is it?

[@thundersheild926]

You seem to be under the impression that you need to reduce your weight to go faster, when in fact the only thing that really matters is mass. Friction is determined by the coefficient of friction * weight, but friction is a static force. It remains constant for all speeds. Drag, on the other hand, scales up with the square of your speed, meaning that at high speeds it makes up the vast majority of the force resisting you. As such, your "weight" actually has extremely minimal effect on your top speed and adding more down force for extra stability is usually preferable.

[@BOMBO-]

if you want to stop drifting out, you can turn off friction control on your front wheels

[@aidenburgess217]

All wheels with auto steering correction and friction control turn you to the left automatically at the moment.

[@Thrust-or-Bust]

You ideally needed some thrusters pushing you downwards to create more downforce making your sled stick to the ground and then adding big boy rockets

[@tntfortress8917]

I guess its the Sled world record but its pretty far from the world land speed record. Great job anyway, sleds are hard. Also dont even attempt boats until the physics are settled and the sea wont eat your boat for lunch.

probably could have hit exactly 1000ms if you played around with final stage fuel so that you'd run out just as you got to the end of the runway. marginal gains but still gains.

Those are stabilizers. Even in real life they aren't actually wings. They don't generate lift, they keep the craft in the direction they're facing in.

[@fcv1_]

@@nikkiofthevalley while wings main use is to create lift, but no matter what, wing is the surface that control airflow, and stabilizers do quite the same thing. They control airflow. The fact that they arent purposed for lift doesn't make them any less wingy.
