<Pap1723> Is there a pass in RO that automatically adds the Procedural Fairing Functionality to all fairing parts?
<Pap1723> ^^^Disregard
<NathanKell|AWAY> Pap procedural fairings for everything
<leudaimon> smells like a well-intentioned bomb to me
<Pap1723> Yes leudaimon, I contributed, but mostly because I love his normal stuff he does. I fully expect to lose out on my $35, but I've enjoyed myself with his work for free, so no worry about a donation if that is all it turns out to be
<SpecimenSpiff> anybody here understand PEG enough to help me figure this out? with my current settings, it's not even lighting the throttles on launch
<leudaimon> yeah Pap1723, just seems so amateurish it's weird
<Pap1723> leudaimon: yes, I contributed almost day 1, the stuff coming out from the Kickstarter since then has been underwhelming to say the least
<leudaimon> just saw it, and was underwhelmed... considering how good is his stuff in other fields I would expect more
<leudaimon> SpecimenSpiff, have you used ascent guidance without PEG before? if you didn't ask it to launch into target plane or rendezvous, you usually have to stage yourself, and that includes the initial engine startup
<SpecimenSpiff> ive used ascent guidance tons
<SpecimenSpiff> and with those settings, I set throttle max, turn on autopilot, stage for launch, throttles go to zero
<leudaimon> engine startup should work the same
<SpecimenSpiff> change the settings a bit, and they light up and off we go
<leudaimon> weird
<leudaimon> what are your settings?
<SpecimenSpiff> bu tno matter what I do, I never get peg to do more than an unguided gravity turn
<leudaimon> ohh it's probably not understanding your staging... it's fairly more complex than standard stuff
<Pap1723> SpecimenSpiff: are you on the Discord as well?
<leudaimon> NathanKell|AWAY or lamont might give you better advice
<SpecimenSpiff> no pap, but I could be, on eminute
<SpecimenSpiff> other than air lighting the core, is pretty standard staging.
<SpecimenSpiff> 4 stages to orbit, all liquid
<SpecimenSpiff> and its got plenty of dV
<Pap1723> Hot staging confuses PEG, after you hot stage, you need to hit Reinitialize
<Pap1723> Did you look at the thing I pinged you on in the Discord?
<SpecimenSpiff> hm, didnt see a ping
<leudaimon> pardon my ignorance, but what is discord?
<Pap1723> leudaimon: Discord is an advanced messaging app similar to IRC, but a generation ahead of IRC
<NathanKell|AWAY> I can't type much but you'll want a sharper turn than what I suggested on discord
<Pap1723> @SpecimenSpiff look at #general
<leudaimon> hehe, mostly anything is at least a generation ahead of IRC
<SpecimenSpiff> yeah, I see your message in general now. and thats what Ive been doing
<SpecimenSpiff> I think the nan for stage 4 is the problem, and no idea what causes that
<SpecimenSpiff> DOH! it wants km, not m
<SpecimenSpiff> default value had 6 digits, so I just assumed...
<SpecimenSpiff> yeah, I dont think this lv could reach a 170,000km orbit...
<Pap1723> lol, yep, that will cause some problems!
<SpecimenSpiff> it populated that by itself from classic ascent guidance values
<SpecimenSpiff> so thats a bug

<darsie> BadRocketsCo: ahh, sure. my bad :).
<schnobs> BadRocketsCo: nearly anything will lead to a return and landing, certainly anything <100km. But I still suggest 50km or less for a capsule.
<schnobs> Mercury return PE is well below the surface, and IIRC Gemini as well.
<BadRocketsCo> Huh
<BadRocketsCo> And that doesn't result in the serious side affect of burning up?
<borntosleep> lower PE=Higher G Forces Higher PE= Higher heating
<schnobs> BadRocketsCo: Mercury was pretty agressive, acceleration-wise. Peak of 8g or thereabouts.
<schnobs> I guess the steep descent was the only way of getting near a designated landing zone.
<schnobs> With the lifting-body, somewhat controllable Apollo and Gemini they could keep it much lower, 4-5g.
<schnobs> IIRC that was the main concern, not the heat -- at least not until Apollo Lunar returns.
<BadRocketsCo> Hmm, interesting

<regex> well, wait, my Atlas has a burn time of around that if I leave the boosters on.
<regex> Anyway...
ProjectThoth has joined #RO
<soundnfury> Pap: well usually I have konrad calculate it, but a good rule of thumb is to look at the dV with the booster engines on, and with them dropped but the tanks full, and interpolate
<stratochief> IIRC, I drop boosters at ~6.5G of accel, or something. that standard works alright no matter the payload or even upper stage for Atlas
<soundnfury> so for example you might see 6500/7600, in which case I'd estimate 6940 ( = 6500 + 0.4 * 1100)
<Pap> Ah, that makes sense
<Bornholio> atlas does not make sense it makes magic
<soundnfury> as for when to drop the boosters, I often go by the tanks hitting 23% fill level (or some similar value adjusted for how I want to trade TWR against Δv)
<soundnfury> (e.g. if I'm lofting a heavier upper I might stage later to reduce total burn time and thus gravy losses)
<Pap> These are all good rules of thumb :)
<soundnfury> it gets a lot harder if you use LR79s or E-1s instead of LR89s, as I've been doing in RIS,
<Pap> Why did you do that, better ISP?
<soundnfury> because then the mixture ratios don't match and you have to stage at _just_ the right time to avoid residuals
<soundnfury> nah, I just wanted to use the same engine as on Thor
<soundnfury> I'd already flown a bunch of Thors so I had TF data
<soundnfury> Also, E-1 boosters for bigger more powerful Atlas-alikes
<soundnfury> One advantage the '79 _does_ have over the '89 is that you get longer burn times at earlier tech; even the early '79s can run for 2’45” whereas the early '89s only do 2’15”
<soundnfury> in practice I seem to end up around about 2’25” or 2’30” on my '79-ed Atlases

<regex> I play with the Pricipia approved parts of it
<regex> ^Principia
<Hypergolic_Skunk> Principia scares me
<regex> Why?
* soundnfury oblates regex
<regex> It's like any other change in the game. I didn't like the idea of limited ignitions, now playing without them is literally easy mode.
<regex> Same with Test Flight, you just get used to it.

<egg> regex: Hypergolic_Skunk: images from the latest version http://imgur.com/a/XC6iL (note: all the windows on the left are from MJ, only three on the right are mine)
<egg> the interface is arguably clumsy, but I'd say MJ's is scarier :-p
<Hypergolic_Skunk> thanks! I may try it in a separate install. my current career has certain goals (Cassini-copy, Ice Giants) that I want to reach first, though
<Hypergolic_Skunk> when I did Cassini for the first and last time, i had RSS Expanded installed, and I got a ton of flybys... superfun :)

<NCommander> Ugh, morning
<NCommander> Pap, I asked this question this morning, but did your RP-0 branch merge to master? I tried to do a pull and I can't see to find it on github
* NCommander doesn't want to look through his logs, too groggy
<Pap> Yes, NCommander Master is all there is now
<NCommander> Pap, neat, I'll track master now
