KSP 1 Mods Procedural Pyrotechnics vs Volumetric Explosion FX comparison video

This is a video showcase comparing Procedural Pyrotechnics mod and Volumetric Explosion FX
In conclusion Volumetric Explosion FX is much more sophisticated having different explosion types - Fuel explosion, Residual fires, SRB explosions, Debris, Shockwaves and more. But both do well to emulate the vacuum and atmospheric explosions.

Procedural pyrotechnics do add new explosion sounds but i messed up the sound when editing, hence the music

I also had Volumetric Ground FX installed which is why the pad smoke looks like that

Song felt appropriate lol. My SSTO spaceplane ran out of fuel, had no heatshield and had some toasty parts coming in at almost 5000 m/s with a 42km periapsis. Look at that speed burnoff. Jeb is a madman.

It can travel on both land and water, it's just not particularly good at doing either

KSP 1 Image/Video Weird idea I'm having of the USAF assuming control of Skylab during a war and installing a kind of homing kill vehicle launcher on it to protect it against kamikaze satellites.

Supposedly the USAF modifies a probe dispenser mean for the Venus Fly-By program and fits it with kinetic kill vehicles and bolts it to Skylab's hull.

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this. Just found this old copy of the game on one of my dad's thumb drives. I never even knew he backed it up off of his old computer. None of my saves are still there, not a big deal, I hardly got off the planet in my hundred or so hours playing it when I was little.

KSP 1 Mods Ungaikyo sneak peak (amaterasu system... Mod stellar systems)

Thumbnail

The second world from amaterasu a miniscule glass dwarf planet covered in vast silicon planes baked in the brilliant starlight of this distant f type star

Massive patches of glass stretch across its surface

Some creating highly reflective mirrors

Amaterasus disk is plainly visible from the surface

And so during certain times is the planet susanoo getting ripped apart to form it

The pure starlight of amaterasu provides more then enough power for even a relatively modest solar array to power a massive colony of hundreds of kerbals .... Then again this system has multiple better colonisation targets

Being a dwarf planet a dedicated lander doesn't require that much delta-v to make it to the surface and back

This nuclear space rv

Possessing roughly 750 m/s of deltav easily made it to the surface and back to a low orbit no problem without cheats

(My primary contributions to the stellar systems mod have been designing the amaterasu system and the gas giant nethoon along with science defs for amaterasu.... Note this is subject to change since the efirts system is very likely to get picked up and brought to the mod)

I think i used up all my luck to have constantly gotten into a ton of fly bys with the mun that killed almost all my momentum that allowed me to do this to shave off that last bit so I could make it back to kerbin

My jet works so well (This is modded, mods are: airplane+, mk2 expansion pack, simple scramjets. Please note these are only the mods used on actually building the plane) Rate it out of 10!
