From my phone. Couldnt delete that other shit. Didnt care.

Look at the edit history.

Ah.

The thing is he is much like Frankie Boyle, it is for most part an act to upset the idiots, I thought his much would have been obvious by now.

And this is how come I came to christen Discourse as Dickcorpse at one point.

Dickcorpse
That's better than what I came up with. I tried Disconecro but that doesn't work either.

that cannot be good for the plane.....
-
It isn't bad, hence the title of this thread.
-
well it sure looks like a plane that won't be flying for much longer.
-
And this is why you don't design airplanes.
-
yes i do!
THEY JUST ALWAYS CRASH AND KILL MY KERBALS
when did i hit capslock?
-
You mean you haven't mastered landing your planes back on the runway yet? Fie, for shame!
-
forget landing, i still have trouble taking off!
i think i should probably stop trying to design them the way i do my rockets (with 2-3x the deltaV than i think they need)
-

MOAR ROCKETS not pointed upwards will eventually solve that problem.
It won't necessarily help with other ones.
-
made a new one last night. even with a 15 degree dihedral on the wings the thing just absolutely insisted on pulling a hard right about half way through the runway takeoff, smashing the SPH to bits.
thank the goddess i'm only running science mode or my rep would be so negative and my cash so gone from having to rebuild that thing so often.
i wonder if the joystick control would work with my xbox controller?

The problem is probably that you've not got the forces balanced right; you want everything so that it acts through the centre of mass, or you'll spin out of control in some vaguely amusing way. For example, the centre of aerodynamic lift needs to be some multiple (quite possibly zero) of the lift vector displaced from the centre of mass. Same for the thrust vector; that one holds for rockets too, but it's much easier to achieve there. If your major forces won't force you to spin, your control surfaces (mandatory!) can keep it all under control.
And don't push the plane too hard when you get to high altitude. Throttle back as the air density reduces or you'll flame out. Keep control at all times. At the very highest speeds, the balance between sustainable flight and disaster is rather thin (like the air around you) but do it right and you'll have a craft capable of making LKO with only relatively small rocket engines, and yet able to reenter and land back on the runway with a bit of good navigation.
I've not yet experimented with the non-sandbox modes. I'm just trying to make my own SR-71…

Looks cool, but I imagine it's probably an expensive ($$$) maneuver. After all, jet fuel ain't cheap.

That's one sexy plane. Those red lines at the wing edges ...

You mean the go-faster-stripes?

The way I land is to stick parachutes on the plane. Then fly over where I want to go and deploy them. Vertical landing! Stick three so you're balanced, and you can even use the thruster to adjust your trajectory. Can land anywhere (taking off again can be tricky though).

If you're going to do that, you might as well be one of those boring rocket builders…

Assuming that's a KSP trick, I approve.
Alternatively maybe you mean this:
Fun fact: that system's saved something like 50 people's lives.

I'd be, if someone gifted me the damn game, because fuck it's expensive for a non-AAA beta.

Trying to talk to a pretty girl is now "street harassment".
(admittedly, some of these are legitimately harassment. But if these are the worst of the worst and quite a few of those are just guys trying to spark up a conversation with a pretty girl, this is pretty lame.)

RACIST!<r
-
I am not racist, I hate all human beings equally and without regard for race, color, creed, sexual orientation or religion. ;)
-
I was talking to the video. That's a thing I do.
-
Does it ever answer you? What does it say?
-backs away-
-
This one propositioned me. Very flattering. Probably because I'm white.
-
RACIST!!
Are you slut-shaming the video? This is a classic case of victim blaming.

I hoped I was encouraging it.
@Intercourse said:

Yes, I blame myself.
-
I may be a bit of a misogynist. When I first started watching the video, my initial reaction was, "Nice rack".
-
I think I'll give you a pass. I mean, let's be honest about the sort of video that you're more likely to be watching:
- video whose point is to point out and enjoy the nice rack
- video whose point is to point out louts pointing out the nice rack so you can feel superior because you act like a dick in anonymous online forums instead of the sidewalk

getting back on topic.....
oooooh. big bada boom!
-
-
ooooooh (GIS failed with safesearch on.... gah!)
-
Too bad that the Eurofighter Typhoon isn't anywhere as sexy as the F-111 ...
Canards just never look pretty.
-
BURN! BURN! BURN!
MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ha ha ha haha ha ha ha ha ha!
-
F-18s are also sexy
-
No F-14 love?
