4:05 The reason this is happening is because you need to start your burn sooner. Starting it right at the apogee is too late and you’ll fall back down. Try starting it 10 to 5 seconds before, and you should be safe.

can we just talk about how reaching the moon in this gamemode is as hard as if you did it in real life (with unlimited resources)

[@qwertypixelYT]

No, firstly because he used timewarp, and also it really just isnt as hard because ethics dont apply to SFS since theres no simulated astronauts and there arent morals if you crash rockets, its really not as hard

[@Edvit40]

@@Edvit40 it takes years to build something that would take a few minutes to build on sfs. also i know u said unlimited resources but funding for spcae programs is very low right now. also astronauts and lives cant just be sacrificed for the fun of it irl. also timewarp defo does because you could wait for years for the best orbit exit but irl you wouldnt do that because you have to pay all of the people that are constantly watching it and taking care of the mission and that goes back to the funding problem.

4:56 thats exactly what it is. youre accelerating, which is measured in m/s^2. every second, your speed increases by some amount of m/s. learning as much of the math behind it as you can really helps get a feel for whats going on. not that you have to work out the equations (although that makes it way easier to do), but just knowing why stuff is the way it is

[@TheGuyWhoAsked960]

[@nomekop777]

[@flatikk]

He understands acceleration but what he's probably talking about is how the acceleration is increased even more at the end of the tank because of how the Tsiolkovsky equation works, which means that the rocket has growing acceleration during its burn.

[@mcflyingfury]

A couple things I noticed when I tried to build a space station in realistic mode. They made everything realistic that makes the game harder, but didn't give us any higher thrust engines. Although the engines in the game may have realistic thrust, you have to realize real life is 3D, and you can place multiple engines around each other in a circle, so real life rockets usually have upwards of 6-8 engines on their bottom stage. The saturn V, which to my knowledge is the biggest rocket ever launched, had 5. We only get one or two per fuel tank. However, we still have to deal with realistic air resistance and gravity, which makes it seem so unfair and costly in fuel. If they gave us higher thrust engines to simulate the 3D placement of multiple engines under the same fuel tank, it'd be much easier to get to orbit. Another thing is fuel. Watching the recordings of old rocket launches, I noticed that even with proportional sizes of fuel tanks to engine, the rockets in real life can burn much longer before running out of fuel. I don't know if that's because the engines in game have bad efficiency or if the fuel tanks don't carry enough, but regardless of the issue real life rockets have much longer burn times on the first stage. Between these two problems, realistic mode actually makes it much more difficult than it should be to get to orbit.

[@henryk3417]

4:05 (Osiris already said it but whatever) You need to NOT time warp but immediately start burning your engines. Outside the Kerman line with that kind of orbit, it's very hard to get up because you have a short amount of time. You cannot waste any time. Realistic mode isn't hard btw. I've gotten a random satellite in the orbit of mars doing absolutely nothing and i forgot about it.

The only reason why realistic mode is so difficult for normal sfs is because all the diameters and earth athmspehre get expanded but the rocket parts such as fuel tanks and engines don't get updated. A metaphor for this is shooting a zombie with a BB gun. Over time you might make s dent but not having the proper propulsion systems is making the game feel unfair and extremely difficult

You should try to be more efficient in the atmosphere. Your thrust to weight is way too high and I think you should use the side boosters first because that’s what I do. You should also start getting a full orbit BEFORE coming out of the atmosphere.
