the smaller the rocket, that faster and more efficient it gets
to get a basic orbit, you first must launch your craft, tilt it 75 degrees towards the east (unless the planet spins backwards), and make sure your speed is under something like 600 meters per second. then, when you see the atmosphere getting a bit darker, tilt the craft 45 degrees. once your apoapsis exceeds the atmosphere (on droo it’s about 60 kilometers), throttle down and tilt the craft all the way east. once you’re about 40 seconds from the apoapsis, throttle up until your periapsis is about 60 kilometers, then you’ve made an orbit.
you can use maneuver nodes to rendezvous with other planets, without guessing when to burn. you can place maneuver nodes on your orbit by left clicking or double-tapping on your orbit. you will guess where to burn, and if the guess is wrong, keep guessing until you find an efficient route to the target planet.
to target an object, open the map (the default hotkey is M) and click/tap a planet, or craft, and click/tap the broken square icon, that will target the planet or craft. maneuver nodes require you to target something, unless you’re really really REALLY good at guessing, then you should mine as well not use them.
turn down the speed of the piston
test the landing leg in low gravity, or in orbit
turn down the mass of the landing leg to 5% or 0%
increase the size of the hinge that connects the piston to the landing leg

there's this thing in simplerockets 2 that is called a nav sphere, you can press tab to open it, or you can press the nav sphere button (on the right)
if you want to learn from real life then uhh...
they use the stars???
it should be an SSTO because i can't seem to figure out how to automatically activate the stages properly, unless you want to stage the rocket manually
Chris Hadfield described it as this: "You'll want to go up [slightly pitching towards the east] slowly gaining speed, it's sort of like your rocket is an elevator that goes up to where the atmosphere is thin enough so that drag can be minimized as much as possible"
the planet paint tab requires a compatible noise element in the terrain generation
the planet cubemap requires a cube element or something and images that are precisely distorted in the way a sphere is shaped. it’s hard because a cube and a sphere are two completely different shapes
simplerockets 2 doesn’t let you convert an equirectangular map into a sphere
what even is a celestial map?
i guess you could just add cargo bays and close the ends with struts or fuel tanks

make a futuristic rocket that actually looks like a descent rocket
3.0 years ago🎉yay!!!🎉
+1 3.0 years agoturn down the speed of the piston
3.0 years agotest the landing leg in low gravity, or in orbit
turn down the mass of the landing leg to 5% or 0%
increase the size of the hinge that connects the piston to the landing leg
is the piston supposed to disconnect from the landing leg?
3.0 years agoso i guess you'll have to zoom a lot
3.0 years agothen your criteria doesn't exist on this site
3.0 years agoin that case, check all the connections, and make sure you break the landing legs' symmetry, otherwise this is a bug
3.0 years agolanding legs need an actual motor, or else expect it to stay static
3.0 years agowhy would you want to make landing gear without actual hinge motors?

if you're trying to symmetrically put pistons inside the cargo bay, tap "break symmetry" so that you can properly connect the pistons to the ramp
