Oddly my rover woudn't stop driving forward when I released the controls. Fixed after save/load.
<Althego>
would be nice if say after 20 years they would release the source code
<darsie>
Infocom released their text advantures decades later in a bundle.
<Althego>
decades
<Althego>
there is a falloff. after a while peopel are going to buy ksp2, not old ksp1. so pointless to even hold onto it
<Althego>
but if you release the source, it is goping to live on forever
<Althego>
like doom, tyrian, etc
<darsie>
1.12.1 still has inverted mouse and slow motion.
<Althego>
as they stated there is actually one fix in it
<darsie>
Olivine was said to be in midlands etc., but I found it while still in lowlands.
<Althego>
i think each of these mentions 3 biomes
<darsie>
hence 'etc.'
<darsie>
The others were highlands and poles, IIRC.
<Althego>
then flip them
<darsie>
I also found a green sandstone in lowlands, near the great flats.
<Althego>
too bad they fixed the old jpeg texture problem, where compression artifacts caused random biomes to pop up in random places in small patches. i used that
<darsie>
:)
<darsie>
But yeah, that rover has amazing climb capability.
<Althego>
on minmus
<darsie>
mhm
<Althego>
on eve 30 deg slopes are already hard
<darsie>
Shouldn't there be a Kraken in the depths of Jool?
<Althego>
when you try to cross the surface
<Althego>
the zero altitude line
<Althego>
or you can turn on pressure limits in difficulty and parts give up before that
<darsie>
Does anything last at 0 m?
<darsie>
We could have nuclear powered airplanes there.
<Althego>
you mean submarines
<darsie>
It's hard to say in a supercritical fluid :).
<Althego>
at least in 1.8.1 they made this jool ssto
<Althego>
apparently survived 0 altitude

feels a bit silly. He landed his arm rover in the Mun far side crater to analyze a mun stone. But there's no signal to control the rover ... :)
<darsie>
First I thought ... let's wait till the Mun turns this side towards Kerbin ... :)
<flayer>
lel
<darsie>
Time to make those relays ... :)
<Althego>
hehehe

So, is it appropriate to drop a large rock on Kerbin to celebrate aseroid day?
<darsie>
I don't have fairing interstage nodes.
<darsie>
Ahh, they only show up when I have something to attach in the mouse.
<Mat2ch>
The fireworks can be used for weird stuff. :D
<Althego>
just call it nebelwerfer

<Althego>
as the prince was looking at the hourglass, he asked kaileena: "times is running low. you ready?" but kaileena just kept looking at the hourglass and did not answer
<packbart>
hm. looks normal enough (unless the boosters are not centered on their decouplers)
<raptop>
hrm, not sure on the staging, but it's quite possible that it's only running SRBs initially and so doesn't have much control authority. Also, those are the fixed fins
<raptop>
packbart: yeah, I'm also somewhat concerned that those don't look like they were placed with symmetry
<Guest66709>
i only have fixed fins
<packbart>
I'd try to get some clearance between booster exhaust and fins. but other than that, I don't see anything obviously wrong about it
<Guest66709>
it worked
<Guest66709>
thanks
<Althego>
i guess it is rolling because of the booster rockets flexing on the decouplers
<raptop>
...but we didn't do anything?
<Guest66709>
i checked the staging
<Guest66709>
and replace the booster
<raptop>
possibly also from the 2x vs 3x symmetry meaning that forces are completely symmetrical aroudn the long axis of the rocket and getting a net torque?
<raptop>
ah
<raptop>
huh, the AV-R8 is now way up the tech tree from what I remember
<darsie>
Guest66709: Rolling can be caused by boosters that are twisted by air. Try struts.
<packbart>
oh, I missed the 1.12.1 update
<Guest66709>
i got the game a few days ago
<Guest66709>
and its awesome
<Althego>
1.12.1 is a hotfix
<Althego>
if you dont have any problems you can skip it
<Althego>
1.12.2 is coming shortly
<packbart>
yeah, I just saw the forum post. I'll have to check that "auto-struts no longer cross docking ports" thing in my save, too

spacex could out on one of the free musics from ksp once :)
<Althego>
landing on minmus is easier. getting there is harder because of the inclination
<Guest66709>
ok
<Guest66709>
im just trying to get an orbit
<Guest66709>
so i can get some science
<Althego>
getting the in space science does not requires orbit

<packbart>
it would be cool if Squad/Taketwo would change the ToS on KSP EoL to allow injecting/overriding code in stock classes with Harmony
<packbart>
that way, modders could try and fix issues going forward
<Solar_Oracle>
I'm actually surprised at the level of readership my Let's Read got.

<Guest66709>
on a plane do you want the COT to be behind or infront of COM
<raptop>
That shouldn't matter too much, though you'll want them to be in-line. CoL, however should be behind CoM
