Why even the most experienced space pilots struggle with Kerbal Space Program flight mechanics
In short: Scott Manley compiles a series of aircraft crashes and failed flight incidents recorded since the 0.18 release of Kerbal Space Program. This collection highlights the inherent difficulty of mastering flight physics in the simulator, serving as a reminder that even experts encounter spectacular failures.
This compilation focuses exclusively on aircraft incidents, as the creator notes that spacecraft crashes are surprisingly rare in his gameplay. The footage serves as a clearinghouse for saved clips, providing a candid look at the trial-and-error nature of the game's flight mechanics.
