Ive been trying to reach the north pole for a while now and this is the first time i actually made it all the way! I used my most stable jet and attached some external fuel tanks to it. It was a real hassle taking of with it, but once that was over it was smooth sailing =)

I agree, some great designs, some serious wingspan on that glider looking thing lol.

I love KSP> The new patched conics works really well for interplanetary travel. Best system i have ever seen.

Devs said there was stuff there, but you just couldn't see it.

Ok - so I managed to get 66% of the way in a little F-16esque design (2 fueltanks in main body only) - got any hot tips to get a jet to the north pole?

I did it smile

Strapped on some extra fuel and ended up pretty much smack bang in the middle of the icecap smile

Are these spacecraft/jets a part of the base game or are these mods? I'm really wanting to get this now.

There are no base rockets or aircraft. You build them yourself =) One part at the time. Its so much fun to experiment and try to get the designs stable and flight worthy.

I'll need to try it out again. Only played a limited demo at one point.

I just tried to order it and am having problems. It says I can use a credit card and not paypal. However when I click on the next step, it says thank you but it did not ask for and credit card info and just says they'll send and email. I did this twice with the same outcome. Anyone know what the deal is? I did not pay for anything and they says thanks and there are no links.

The creditcard option is new i believe. I payed trough paypal. Give it some time, they probably have it set up so that they have to authorize every buy with credit card manually =)

hahaha The only reason it's so minimal is because I couldn't match your MiG-29 for complexity!
