[1.3.1] Ferram Aerospace Research: v0.15.9.1 "Liepmann" 4/2/18
So why use it? Because when you finally design a plane that passes all the tests—a sleek SSTO (Single Stage to Orbit) or a nimble dogfighter—it flies with a that the base game cannot match. You aren't just playing a game anymore; you’re conducting flight research. Ready to start building? ferram aerospace research
Tells you if your plane will naturally flip over the moment you let go of the stick. Ready to start building
Predicts how your craft will behave during complex maneuvers like rolls or high-speed turns. In "stock" KSP, breaking the sound barrier is
In "stock" KSP, breaking the sound barrier is just a matter of throttle. In FAR, it is an event. As you approach , drag spikes exponentially due to wave drag . Designing for this requires "Area Ruling"—shaping your fuselage to ensure the cross-sectional area changes smoothly—or your plane may simply refuse to go any faster, no matter how many engines you bolt on. 3. Stability is Earned, Not Given
FAR introduces the , a suite of graphs and numbers that look more like an engineering degree than a video game.
