![]() ![]() ![]() However, Kerbin is much more smaller than Earth in volume, therefore in surface area. In order to provide us a realistic physics simulation, SQUAD kept 1atm pressure and ~10 g gravitational acceleration so we could feel like flying a rocket in real world. Let's think about the formula we use for gases: P.V=n.R.T where P is the Pressure and V is the Volume, n is mol (m/M) and other part is needless for now. Well, what I'm trying to say is that in KSP the atmosphere is much more denser than it is in real life. So the question is why Space Shuttle isn't doing gravity turns like we do in KSP. Whatever, I finally got home and now I have time to bs about science some more! Yay! Your English is far better than my Turkish and we can tell that you don't know what you're talking about even with the grammar mistakes.ĭarn it I couldn't hide my ignorance once again! (PS: I might sound a little douche with grammar mistakes and all I'm writing from mobile so please don't mind ^ ^) Of Saturn v tried to do the same maneuver, it would break apart because of the pressure. The reason Saturn V turned later than the shuttle is that shuttle is aerodynmacally more effective than Saturn v at gaining horizontal speed at lower altitudes. Since earth has the same gravity with kerbin even though earth has way more surface area, high density atmosphere is more scattered at lower levels meaning closer to the surface. IIRC the atmosphere drag is most effective in first 40kfeet i might be wrong though. True, but Earth's atmosphere also doesn't have cut-ends like in KSP. It's the force of drag that is much higher in stock KSP than in reality, for aerodynamically shaped objects. Earth's atmosphere doesn't behave isothermally or have a hard cutoff at 1e-6 atm, but that doesn't make Kerbin's atmosphere thicker. A nitpick: the scale height of Earth's atmosphere is a bit higher than Kerbin's, and the sea level pressures are the same.
