Rest in peace intake air drain valve. You will be missed. You braught such joy into this world that we occupy, but alas, you were vanquished by the enemy: time. Your sacrifice will always be remembered, and your life will remain eternal in our memories. So long. You’re draining in heaven now.
You can still use this craft, just make sure to stick to 1.9.0, not 1.9.1
This aircraft can break 5km/s easily!
This aircraft uses the power of drain valves to go at speeds previously unimaginable*. Best results for me have been when using KramaxAutopilot for control and TimeControl to speed up the ascent and acceleration.
Launch Profile:
Hit [2] to start engines
Go full throttle
Rotate when you’re ready
Stage to get rid of ‘training wheels’
Activate Kramax Autopilot to hold 15° nose up, and 90° heading
Use TimeControl’s HyperWarp feature. I tend to keep physics accuracy at 1 and aim for as much warp as possible, because ascent is s l o w
Around 25km altitude, switch the autopilot to altitude mode, and set it for 35,000m, and slowly decrease the HyperWarp setting before eventually turning it off. Make sure to turn it off before 35km
When you reach 35km, keep increasing the altitude hold until you are at 37,500. Replace hold heading with hold wings level.
Once at 37.5km, if you are able to hold the altitude without climbing, re-engage HyperWarp and keep accelerating.
If you feel satisfied with your speed, disable the autopilot and aim prograde. Congratulations, you are now on an escape trajectory. If timed correctly, once in orbit of the sun you can exceed 10km/s easily.
Have fun flying!
*Note: This works best if you go into the difficulty settings and decrease reentry heating, because otherwise you will fry. Also, eventually you get so fast that the only way to remain in the atmosphere is to increase gravity…
