I just built a new computer
<hatrix>
KSP is running way better :)
<umaxtu>
hatrix, what are your specs?
<hatrix>
Ryzen 7 3700x and a RX 5700 XT
<umaxtu>
nice!
<hatrix>
coming from an Athlon and a GTS it's a upgrade :p
<umaxtu>
oh my
<hatrix>
even with proton games run pretty smoothly
<umaxtu>
I was just about to ask about your experience with the amd drivers. but apparently the linux ones are actually good these days
<hatrix>
do you of any way to test them?
<hatrix>
my GTS needed the legacy drivers of nvidia so I'm not sure they were the best
<hatrix>
and a kernel bug made me switch back to nouveau
<umaxtu>
my last experience with the amd linux drivers was with a HD 6870. the opensource ones didn't support hardware acceleration of video at that point

<Althego>
i would use the bigger docking port and the round nosecone thing
<Althego>
but somewhat better
<darsie>
I think I only have junior an pico ports on my space station.
<JVFoxy>
glasscockpits became a standard thing in commercial airlines from 2002.. not sure they use touchscreens.. other than in some private aircraft
<Althego>
normally those are not touchscreens
<Althego>
there are side buttons on the mfdsa
<Althego>
mfds
<JVFoxy>
yup
<Althego>
but those are not reallt imput devices,m you can select some views, so there is no reason
<Althego>
and the cdu/fms has complete keyboard and menus, so no need for touchscreens there either
<JVFoxy>
side buttons actually does things, most data input is done by control panel down on the center console...
<JVFoxy>
noticing on dragon, buttons on the arm rests?
<packbart>
for the in-flight entertainment system
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
no need for that
<Althego>
just look out the window :)
<Althego>
even astronauts never get bored watching earth

<JVFoxy>
ugh.. road trip with friend, he kept saying, 'may as well get some rest, it'll be a boring drive'. Road trip? Boring? Never!
<Althego>
but there is like 1.5 hours remaining. (is that even a plural? net even 2)
<JVFoxy>
more than 1 hour... its good

as for docking port on nose tip in KSP... I usually stuck docking port off side, then centered it so top node still free for parachute. Then just stuck port above chute.. but thats just me
<Althego>
i just hide the parachute under the docking port or inside the capsule
<Althego>
now there is a part that can house such things, but doesnt look good
<Althego>
a conical service bauy thing
<packbart>
with the Mk1-3, I stick a 0.625m-decoupler and fairing on top, parachutes to the sides
<JVFoxy>
lol... I do fairing and nose con cap on the port itself.. blow fairing, de-couple once in space..
<JVFoxy>
*cone
<Althego>
yes, you can use the docking port as a decoupler
<Althego>
ut was not always so
<packbart>
yeah, but then I have to click on it to un-stage it. I use both methods, depending on mun phase
<darsie>
I put the nosecone on the junior port and lowered it.
<Althego>
although the capsule is made in the looks of apollo
<JVFoxy>
you can set the docking port to be staged. Then remove the staging feature later while on flight
<packbart>
yeah, but a decoupler is small and I don't have to right-click on the docking port later. it's a matter of laziness, I guess ;)
<JVFoxy>
hoping in next little bit, I can finally get the DLC, have a little fun with the Gemini styled stuff
<packbart>
also, it gives an offset to build the fairing
<Althego>
righy liock the focking port? why?
<Althego>
(there is some food between the keyboard and me)
<packbart>
so it would disappear from the stage bar on the left
<Althego>
i dont care about that :)
<JVFoxy>
you can either stage it manually using the part GUI in flight.. or set it to stage at any point, then turn the staging off after. Just matter of preferences
<packbart>
and putting a 1.25m directly on a part of the same size doesn't quite work for me, draping the fairing over the part
<packbart>
so I use a small decoupler as spacer, too. ymmv, as always
<JVFoxy>
when I use fairings, I like to ditch the part that creates it whenever possible after I blow them off.
<JVFoxy>
there'd been times I use those procedural fairings as longer nose cones and wanted to keep them the whole flight
<Althego>
i use them for airplane nosecones
<Althego>
and hide the electronics inside them
<Althego>
battery, antenna, probe core, even a small amount of fuel and duel cell
<JVFoxy>
drone airplane? Heh.. I normally just went battery only if that
<Althego>
no, not really, usually there is cockpit too
<AmbulatoryCortex>
I like to make capsule-shaped tanks and create my own interstages with the procedural interstage.

yes, i like the worm logo better too
<Althego>
even though i dislike the name for both
<JVFoxy>
oh that worm logo.. what was the other again?
<Althego>
meatball
<Althego>
one of the coolest organizations on earth having the klamest logo names ever
<JVFoxy>
... and why is it called the 'meatball'?
<Althego>
how should i know
<Mat2ch>
because it looks like a meatball
<raptop>
Worm is more aesthetic, meatball has more meaning

sky is still getting better. i really want them to succeed
<JVFoxy>
lol... its its not 'now' its too old. Patience grasshopper
<Althego>
if i want to watch something live
<JVFoxy>
I just hope my connection doesn't flake out on me
<Althego>
i dont watch a half a minute old stream
<Althego>
even a 5 seconds is too old
<Althego>
otherwuse i could just watch this tomorrow with 2x speed
<Althego>
skipping right to the launch
<JVFoxy>
you want live.. you better off being there watching it directly. stream regardless going to have some delay
<Althego>
yes
<Althego>
but this is the shortest delay i can realistically have

lol tim's stream has fast scrolling chat

It also replaced a scientist who stayed on the space station for years if not decades with another.
<JVFoxy>
not sure but can you still downlink NASA TV direct from Satellite via dish?
<Althego>
probably
<JVFoxy>
got a box but having issues with setup.. guh
<packbart>
it adds another satellite link. internet cables are faster
<JVFoxy>
they used to have nasa tv on local cable but it was pulled. Only reason it was even on was cuz they had some Canadian stuff on it.
<JVFoxy>
in order to have broadcasting up here, has to have majority of Canadian content.
* darsie
wanted to rotate the Dragon view in youtube with RMB :).
<Althego>
hehe
<packbart>
cable tv is often fastest, depending on how they get their uplink. noticeable in the neighbor cheering lag with popular sports events
<Althego>
ship spinning is the most important aspect of any spaceship game
<Althego>
i am still mad for elite they didnt add that feature
<JVFoxy>
you can break the model,, just don't brake the actual ship
<packbart>
cable TV owners see the goal first, then sat receivers, with internet viewers strewn all over the place

we watched the hockey game .. or tried to back when olympics was here in town. bar across the street would cheer/boo. us flagers had a laptop, had to wait up to half a minute on stream to find tou what happened
<JVFoxy>
granted.. bad connection but eh.. this was 2010
raptop has joined #KSPOfficial

hehe
<JVFoxy>
then we groaned whan heard it went into overtime
<packbart>
live-live streaming *is* hard, though. even more so if you don't supply the receiver and expect to work on any display thing
<packbart>
a BBC team gave a talk about their olympic streaming setup at a conference. they had to settle for acceptably-live, too
<JVFoxy>
I remember people trackside of races, would either build or buy radios to listen into chatter between cars and pitcrew..

still about 3 minutes for weather
<packbart>
and the hydraulics thingie at -8
<JVFoxy>
the poll thing.. would you go to space?
<Althego>
at least they mentioned lightining energy or whatever instead of the sky, so there is no more issue with the clooud
<JVFoxy>
lightning energy disipation
<Malachite>
JVFoxy: absolutely
<JVFoxy>
last thing we need is another Apollo 12 launch strike
<Althego>
hehe
<JVFoxy>
not sure those screens would survive... zap boom
<Althego>
the issue is, modern materials are composites, they dont like lightning, old metals worked better
<kmath>
YouTube - Coverage of NASA & SpaceX's Launch with Reds Rhetoric & Astronomy Live Providing Tracking Cameras
<Malachite>
i miss the spacex technical broadcasts
<JVFoxy>
no but can always in-bed a metal mesh inside like a shell to put push that energy around
<Malachite>
trying to contain lightning is a fools game though
<JVFoxy>
not contain.. direct
<Althego>
hehe
<JVFoxy>
it wants to go shortest path down to ground
<Althego>
as he mentioned the 30 minutes waiting time is not making this possible
<Althego>
next is on saturday? lot better. even one hour earlier
<JVFoxy>
ya.. 30th from what I've seen

soooo... can't they just drag a long grounding cable to above the clouds? ;>

with the rocket :)
<packbart>
planes get hit by lightning all. the. time. (actually, not that often, I've read. and systems do fail and the hull needs some maintenance afterwards)
<VanDisaster>
pilots reckon on one hit a year each I think?
<VanDisaster>
they also tend not to deliberately fly into thunderstorms...
hugix has quit [Quit: webchat.esper.net]

because of other reasons

also passanger comfort
<lordcirth_>
From what they were saying, lightning strike in midair isn't so much a concern, as lightning while fueled on the ground.
lordcirth_ is now known as lordcirth
<lordcirth>
As they said on stream that higher lightning clouds would just make for an interesting ride.
