mechjeb best way to get a reading on surface slope angles? Be nice if there was something that could mark out locations with only so much slope. Sometimes its hard to tell unless you really down there and close.
<packbart>
I just target a "looks flat-ish" area by eye :)
<JVFoxy>
figures
<JVFoxy>
also, with those colors, why am I getting flashbacks to Lego space men?
<hatrix>
what do you use to record your screen? ssr, obs?
<packbart>
Kerbal Engineer has slope readouts, I think. I never used those
<JVFoxy>
it does but only directly under
<packbart>
yes, obs captures with the GPU in "h264 lossless" and ffmpeg encodes it at 5x speed
<JVFoxy>
if I was recording, I would be using OBS Studio.. I also have DaVinici Resolve for editing but only just used it once so far
<JVFoxy>
I tried it with AMD's capture software, felt like it wasn't running very smoothly
<packbart>
I used the Windows-integrated "Game bar" at first. it works but lacks options
<JVFoxy>
I might have to start using OBS on my laptop for the built in cameras. Seems the windows camera app keeps showing the view sideways
<JVFoxy>
used to be a setting you can set the rotation but that was removed during one of the updates, for the more 'automatic' motion sensor version
<JVFoxy>
got fed up with things, removed links to the app since the can't even remove the app itself....

<packbart>
my font only has "party popper", not "partying face". ah, well, a smiley is still good enough for IRC :)
<hatrix>
sometimes I can't focus a planet by double clicking on it, is there a reason ?
<packbart>
I noticed that, too. In my case, there's usually some other craft in the way. and I'm never sure where to click on it. the center doesn't always work
<hatrix>
I'm using tab to change focus but there are too many planets in that mod
<packbart>
put a deck chair on top and wait for the rescue fleet
<JVFoxy>
bleh... ok last time I tried docking, I barely went through 10pts rcs... how come this time around I went through nearly 50?
<packbart>
heavier craft?
<JVFoxy>
same one...
<JVFoxy>
ok granted, I did have to do a little more translation sideways...
<packbart>
10 isn't much. I use more on average
<JVFoxy>
I can launch, get the two crafts to meet in less than half an orbit.. trick is trying to time the launch and knowing how fast you can get up to orbit
<JVFoxy>
anyways.. try again I guess. Though did wonder, my other craft is heading out to the Mun, will it actually get into mun SOI even though its not in focus?
<hatrix>
what do you mean by "10pts"?
<JVFoxy>
ah.. target it, shows that'll go into mun SOI
<darsie>
JVFoxy: Do you use reaction wheels?
<JVFoxy>
Ya.. I try to conserve RCS fuel using wheels..
<JVFoxy>
hatrix 10 points.. its just shorthand
<darsie>
I say '3.1 EVA fuel'.
<hatrix>
what do you mean by points?
<darsie>
Little black holes made of RCS fuel ;)
<JVFoxy>
amount of resource used.. shows up on the panel
<darsie>
units
<hatrix>
ah rcs fuel units?
<JVFoxy>
actually, was it ever defined.. like liters or gallons of something? We know weight per unit but..
<darsie>
1 RCS fuel = 4 kg.
<darsie>
Should be more like 6 kg, as it has less Isp.
<JVFoxy>
ya I guess it was never said if it was a liquid, compressed gas (N2?)
<darsie>
I'd say NTO/UDMH.
<JVFoxy>
heh.. solid fuel...
<darsie>
Could work, if you have lots of them.
<JVFoxy>
think there was actually some sort of weapon system, it was a spinning body with little solid rockets on the base. Computer on board would time firings to help guid
<JVFoxy>
pod booster ditched, deorbited.. 3minutes till mun ejection
<JVFoxy>
oh right.. guess jedmon will have to wait till after injection before I transfer him over
<hatrix>
cute station
<JVFoxy>
also whoops.. forgot Mk1-3 had RCS on it again.. no wonder was burn'n so much
<hatrix>
I just deorbited the old commnet relay network :)
<JVFoxy>
hatrix Lower is Flypod... what I rescued Jedmon in. Upper is Wagon. Once I get out to Mun orbit, Val going to take Flypod down closer, hit some crew reports
<JVFoxy>
I ditched the probe core, fuel+engine stack, (nav ball kind of hiding it) since I don't need it any more
<JVFoxy>
getting into some new stuff here... orbit paths so colorful than usual
<JVFoxy>
now to take Val down to 60km orbit, take reports in Flypod
<Althego>
oh btw, somebody should have made a video of the crew dragon launch where the faces of the two astronauts are shown in the lower right corner during launch :)
<packbart>
:)
<Rolf>
lol
<JVFoxy>
I still remember when someone did the Falcon launch, Jeb in the bottom corner. A moment of frown when one engine explodes, then back to normal
<Rolf>
i had one launch go so bad jeb wasnt cheering as usual but still smiling
<packbart>
Doug certainly has the BadS flag
<Rolf>
its quite hard to make jeb not happy
<Althego>
Rolf: not so long ago i started to watch some hardware unboxed videos. and the viewers make jooking comments about the autogenerated closed captions. one guy always says after the music intro: welcome back to hardware unboxed. it never gets it right. harbor on box, too hard wrong box, hard rock's
<Rolf>
lol
<JVFoxy>
oof ok can't find that clip of jeb superimposed on a real life rocket launch that had a slight 'burp' with one engine
<Althego>
the best is still scott manly lands falcon 9
<JVFoxy>
geh... don't trust auto captions
<Althego>
maybe in 10 years
<JVFoxy>
auto translators... 50 years
<JVFoxy>
also time to send Val down closer to Mun
<Althego>
actually in the hardware unboxed case it is pretty simple if you know that it is a greeting and what the channel's name. but probably it only checks the audio
<JVFoxy>
just realized something... Station is called Nest, Crew ship is Wagon... Station+Wagon.. umm...
<Althego>
hehe
<JVFoxy>
My first car was an Aries stationwagon.. miss that thing
<Althego>
already sounds like a spaceship name
<JVFoxy>
Was blue... I'm sure Benny would have loved it, if it had rockets on the back
<JVFoxy>
ok not quite the same shade of blue as Benny (Lego) but..
<Althego>
who is benny
<Althego>
hehe a very happy blue lego astronaut
<Althego>
an all too familiar logo on the chest
<JVFoxy>
eh ya... mr. high on sugar and spaceships Benny
<Mat2ch>
well, it looked gooded in Marys/NSFs video
<Althego>
danny would turn this into a planet destroyer
<Althego>
somehow
<Mat2ch>
*good
<Mat2ch>
but maybe they want to test the new steel first, before they go on and build more rings out of it
<Althego>
i guess even if there is a test it is going to be the usual, first normal pressure test, then cryogenic, then the turbopump test, then the static fire, and only then flight
<Mat2ch>
the real question is: How fast can they test all this nowadays?
<Althego>
because of human malware, or political situation?
<packbart>
why is there a police car in the street when any truck just drives around it
<Althego>
hehe
<Mat2ch>
you could do all four tests in a day, but they'll probably make two days out of it
<Althego>
guessthey want to close the road for any rocket part, because it might explode, as in ksp :)
<Mat2ch>
Althego: human malware?
<Althego>
the beer infection
<Althego>
voldemort
<Mat2ch>
I'm confused
<Althego>
the coof
<Althego>
the kung flu
<Althego>
coronavirus as normal people now it
<Mat2ch>
Yes, but what was it the answer to?
<Althego>
it was a question to a question. why cant they test fast? what changed?
<Althego>
i watch two of those guys semi regularly
<Mat2ch>
I see movement!
<Althego>
i see dead people
<Althego>
the greatest problem with live streams is that you cant listen to them on 2x speed
<Mat2ch>
watch the replay :P
<Althego>
i do that for flat earth streams
<packbart>
yeah, realtime streams are so slooow ;)
<Althego>
aint nobody got time for that
<Althego>
modem setup
<Althego>
soon they are going to be on starlink :)
<Althego>
not an apple fan video. one of those guys i cant really listen to in 2x. sometimes have to go down to 1.75x. talks too fast. and in the not so good old days there was no 1.75x speed, just 1.5 and 2
<packbart>
I see a special transport mod for the truck simulator coming up ;)
<packbart>
"deliver Starship to launch pad"
<Althego>
with this the road closing is obvious, it is simply too large for normal roads
<Althego>
what was it, 9 m diameter?
<Mat2ch>
jep
<packbart>
what's that truck below hopper? it has some weird piping on top
<Mat2ch>
from the area alone this is bigger than my appartment...
<Mat2ch>
packbart: probably one to pump concrete around
<Althego>
maybe one of those cpncrete pumping things?
<Althego>
but why would they need that
<packbart>
ah, right. makes sense. thx
<Althego>
but i am just guessing
<packbart>
foundation for the test stand?
<packbart>
yeah, there were concrete trucks driving around and the chute thing at the front looked like it
