<hatrix>
how do I upgrade from 1.8 to 1.9? Do I just copy the directory "saves"?
Tank2333 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<UmbralRaptop>
setting up a separate 1.9 install and copying the saves should work, yes
<Althego>
also the thumbnails if you dont want to wait for the game to regenerate them on craft open
<hatrix>
can I copy my settings also?
<hatrix>
(also, wow KSP 1.9 is beautiful)

I can even run it in 1080p :)

I keep channel logs here: bitcoinshell.mooo.com/users/deddly/?C=M;O=D
<hatrix>
the jump from 720p to 1080p is weird, I've got too much space now
<raptop>
uh, maybe. Not sure if the settings file has changed/would cause weird errors
<hatrix>
I'm redoing them all
<Lyneira>
You'll get used to 1080p soon enough. :) And once you try a 1440p monitor or bigger it'll be weird in the same way, until you get used to that too.
<hatrix>
how do you do plane changes to get the perfect encounter?
<hatrix>
I've got an encounter but I'm going way too fast and need a lot of δv to slow down
<hatrix>
not enough to land on Dres :(
<hatrix>
I'm shy of like 300m/s :|
<Wastl2>
Have you tried to do plane changes as part of your burn to get a transfer orbit? Instead of doing a seperate maneuver only to change inclination, I mean.
<hatrix>
yep, but I'm bad at this I guess
<hatrix>
omg, I might be able to land with RCS
<taniwha>
just takes practice
<taniwha>
(if you're bad at something, practice more. you won't stay bad)
<hatrix>
when you say burn, which one are you talking about?
<hatrix>
when going of the pad? circularizing?
<hatrix>
ejection burn?
<taniwha>
any burn, really
<taniwha>
any time you can combine burns, you improve efficiency
<hatrix>
I struggled to get an encounter
<hatrix>
I was happy with what I got
<hatrix>
but it cost a lot
<taniwha>
getting encounters can be tricky and being in the window helps
<taniwha>
if it cost more than expected, you may not have been in the window
<taniwha>
(Kerbin to Duna is not all that expensive, normally)
<hatrix>
yeah, 82° is hard to eyeball
<hatrix>
Duna and Eve are quite easy
<taniwha>
there are fun tricks you can do with maneuver nodes to find a window
<hatrix>
how? I'm usually playing with radials/(pro|retro)grade
<hatrix>
and moving back and forth the maneuver
<taniwha>
eg, set up a burn that just barely gets you out of Kerbin's SoI, then add a second manuever node on the solar orbit
<taniwha>
adjust and slide that around until you get an encouter
<hatrix>
oh, ok
<taniwha>
that lets you know the approximage position Kerbin needs to be in
<hatrix>
Usually I try to have en encounter and do corrections in the Sun's orbit
<taniwha>
(or your source planet, really)
<taniwha>
you often will need to, but it's a good way of finding a window
<hatrix>
do you have a video about that? I think I got the idea but I'm not sure
<taniwha>
look through HMV's (5thHorsman's) videos on youtube
<Althego>
you can get so high that your thrust is low, but as long as it doesnt eat up your cruise speed, you are very efficient. but if you go higher you get slower nad lose that efficiency. never even tried to calculate the optimal altitude for max travel distance
