I decided to make a new VTOL that didnt look so janky. The 1.0 updates makes it a lot easier to build and fly.

The offset and rotate tools make balancing thrust and COM much easier. And, the pilot-assist makes landing a breeze. Just click "point retrograde" and manage the throttle.

When I am in Orbiter, I know where I am going, what I need to do to get there, I do practice reentries and docking, touch and go practice... In KSP I often build a vehicle, and try to see where I can go and what I can do despite its peculiarities. Both are fun....

>Getting spaceplanes into orbit.
Havent tried this with the new aero yet. It's pretty difficult. You have to fly to like 20K with the ramjets then switch to rockets for the rest of the trip, or you can use the RAPIER, but its a little less efficient.

>Getting big rockets not to split in half.
You can usually solve this by connecting distant parts with struts. if all else fails add more struts. They're space ductape.

>straight landing gear

use the rotate tool. If you hold shift while doing it it makes the "steps" smaller.

I mostly ignore "lift ratings". They're good for comparing wings, but I dont know the math behind them.
