keeps on expecting but not finding a schector function in that paper
<minas_tirith>
umbralra1top, are you a mathematician?
<umbralra1top>
astronomer
<minas_tirith>
umbralra1top, wow thats tough shit
<Althego>
backseat modding: no swearing on the channel
<minas_tirith>
Oh right
<minas_tirith>
But yes thats extremely tough stuff
<umbralra1top>
It's not *that* difficult at times. Also you're fined one credit for violating the verbal morality statute
<minas_tirith>
umbralra1top, I can't even begin to understand math/physics and you do it for a living
<Althego>
more than one hour until the bakery opens. i woke up too early and i am going to be hungry
<umbralra1top>
ah, there it is, in section 5
* umbralra1top
missed something, since I assumed that minas_tirith had a software dev day job
<minas_tirith>
umbralra1top, what does that have anything to do
<Althego>
in contrast to a night job, which is secret defender of gotham?
umbralra1top is now known as umbralraptop
<umbralraptop>
yes, exactly like that
<minas_tirith>
umbralraptop, flexing his power
<umbralraptop>
minas_tirith: I mean, as in you probably have a lot of the relevant math/science background already
<minas_tirith>
We were taught very little math
<minas_tirith>
And most of the math won't be needed every day
<Althego>
since i left the simulation business, there really was no math in the code

Althego, do you ski?
<Althego>
no

if they dont kill you they maim you

and i hate cold anyway

I want to ski

mars planetary base builder game: per aspera
<minas_tirith>
Althego, are you latin
<Althego>
are you a bot?
<minas_tirith>
No
<Althego>
a bot would say that too :)
<minas_tirith>
Yes
<Althego>
per aspera is the name of the game
<minas_tirith>
Althego, its a nicen ame
<Althego>
anyway it looks great, but not buyable yet
<minas_tirith>
Althego, I wanna make ambient art
<Althego>
this is what i needed. last year i was playing surviving mars for weeks around this time. now i am going to play per aspera. as soon as it is released

they wouldnt try to land in bad weather
<Althego>
probably a leg is damaged

Stormy weather after the landing could cause this
<Mat2ch>
when the barge is thrown around by the waves

* darsie
took a recovery contract and the dimensions of the item indicade an inflated heat shield. I encountered a deflated heat shield.
<Althego>
still better than when i needed to recover a decoupler, with the new biggest diameter (the really big one). in total darkness, because docking is always in dark
<Althego>
the issue is there is a whole in the center so i couldnt use the indicator
<darsie>
hole ;)
<darsie>
The klaw had trouble latching onto the shield, too.
<Althego>
the arecibo observatory is closing down because the damage is too dangerous to repair

how do the aerodynamics for reentry work in code
<Althego>
we dont know, closed source
<Guest77687>
no like the technque
<darsie>
In KSP or rl?
<umbralraptop>
I guess there's always FAR
<Guest77687>
we know how space works (patched conics)
<Guest77687>
how does reentry and flight work

full os simplifications
<Althego>
of
bildramer1 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<umbralraptop>
There's something with drag cubes (so it has an idea of what parts are visible/causing drag in a given direction, as well as some effects from their shapes)
<umbralraptop>
But it has assumptions that allow for shenanigans
<Althego>
yes, far is way more closer to reality
<umbralraptop>
see eg: those heat shield wings
bildramer has joined #KSPOfficial
<Guest77687>
how does that work then
<Guest77687>
i'm trying to find the technique for reentry aerodynamics to make a game myself pretty much
<Althego>
i doubt it actually does anything different for reentry
tumbleweed has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds]
<Althego>
as compared to flight
<Althego>
even simplified simulation of any kind of fluid dynamics is a field in itself
<Althego>
hehe paradoxically the only thing i can tell you how real commercial simulators do it. they dont. they are always for a specific aircraft, and simply use measured data from the real one to interpolate forces. because of this a game is a lot harder to do since there is no real counterpart to measure from
* umbralraptop
wonders if it got a sling, or if comets are generated with e = 1.05 or the like
<darsie>
hm?
<darsie>
There are non escaping comets, too.
* darsie
got a challenge.
<darsie>
First, capture it to the Sun. Then, bring it to LKO or so.
<darsie>
I'll make an eccentric orbit, change plane at Ap, then go after the comet from Pe.
<darsie>
I should pack several nervs, but I'm too lazy. I'll try with my single nerv asteroid pusher.
<darsie>
Would it be cruel to bring Bill on a command seat? :)
<JVFoxy>
one of my goals, make a base on an asteroid after its made into a safe orbit. chances of happening: ... eh ya.. just survive Covid first

JVFoxy: define safe orbit.
<JVFoxy>
darsie safe as in it won't hit anything for decades
<darsie>
That's not so hard.
<JVFoxy>
maybe not.. depends on settings
<JVFoxy>
sandbox, easy. Career, easy to how many lifetimes you wanna do it by?

<Jovian_Oracle>
More detailed analysis of the UnityPlayer.dll related crashes as they relate to Citrix, which I do not have, reveal that those particular crashes involve the Citrix display adapter.
<Jovian_Oracle>
This is intriguing, as my own crashes started after swapping out monitors that would be classified in the same device group.

Trying to see if C++ reinstallation might help, but now I'm getting an error.
