<schnobs> Starwaster: sorry that I can't help you. I've become reasonably competent at doing it by hand a long time ago, and just didn't spend much time with PEG.
<soundnfury> Starwaster: afraid all I can suggest is to forget PEG and use konrad
<schnobs> In other news, CKAN SSL issues persist for me. I almost didn't notice, though...
<soundnfury> and that's my solution to everything xD
<Starwaster> I don't know wtf a konrad is
<soundnfury> Starwaster: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/135044-konrad-telemachus-interface/
<schnobs> Mods with a sufficiently liberal license are uploaded to archive.org, which CKAN uses as a fallback. So it seems to work just fine.
<soundnfury> with its numbers I can fly (almost) as precisely as PEG
<schnobs> Until you get to a mod with a more restrictive license. In my case, RealChutes, Firespitter, and FAR.
<soundnfury> and because it's human-in-the-loop, you never have the problem of "why TF did it do _that_ crazy thing?"
<soundnfury> otoh you do have to supply the understanding; it'll tell you where you're going, but if that's not where you _want_ to go, it won't tell you how to get _there_ instead ;)
<Raidernick> schnobs, i decided to just use time control when rendezvous
<Raidernick> then you can time warp and it won't skip the orbits around
<Raidernick> kind of annoying to have to do that but at least it fixes the problem sorta
<schnobs> Raidernick: "time control"?
<Raidernick> it's a mod that instead of using w/e warp code ksp uses
<Raidernick> it advances the entire game forward
<Raidernick> so it gets around that bug
<schnobs> Good to know. I'll keep that in mind for my next RV.
<Raidernick> i don't know how it plays with tacls and boiloff
<Raidernick> like resource consumption mods
<Raidernick> that run in the background
<Raidernick> i'd assume it's ok
<Raidernick> i only use it for short bursts during dokcing
<Raidernick> never tried it for months/years
<Raidernick> to see how it affects those
<schnobs> TACLS doesn't update that often and probaly queries the game about how much time has passed.
<Raidernick> yeah it still causes time to pass
<Raidernick> just does it differently
<Raidernick> i think it advances the entire engine
<Raidernick> similar to what happens if your fps is uncapped
<Raidernick> when it causes physics to happen faster than they should
<schnobs> Hmm. The "Just tool it all" button still hasn't been merged, I notice.

<schnobs> Getting RP-1 to work was easy, overall. By now, most everything is on CKAN. Only manual installs were TF, KerbalRenamer and ProcWings.
<schnobs> (for ksp 1.3.1)
<schnobs> Raidernick: I'd like to express my gratitude for pushing the release.
<Raidernick> i didnt do it
<schnobs> not even the pushing?
<Raidernick> nope
<schnobs> well, then. I probably put my foot in it.

<Starwaster> negative boiloff... that's new.

<Starwaster> actually I think it's called 'Starwaster forgot to make sure that heat leakage doesnt flow both ways for boiloff'

<schnobs> Hello awang!
<schnobs> Say, would you terribly mind making a PR of the "tool it all" button? It was a major quality of life improvement.
<awang> Hi!
<awang> Sure
<awang> Looks like I have the branch all ready, just need to make the PR
<awang> Actually
<awang> It might be a bit, since I need to recompile the DLLs
<awang> And I can't recompile on Mac :(
<awang> I should probably find a way to list exactly what is getting tooled and how much it costs
<schnobs> awang: the RP-0 window already does that. For every untooled part it lists tooling/untooled/tooled cost.
<schnobs> ..then leaves it to the player to crawl over the vessel and interact with the repective PAWs. Hence my "for crissakes".
aradapilot has joined #RO

<zilti> What's the standard strategy to fix it when the physics jerk destroys the plane wheels?
<schnobs> zilti: hacked gravity?
<schnobs> I presume the situation where fixing a wheel causes the vehicle to jerk, immediately breaking it again (or another wheel).
<schnobs> In that case, hacked gravity is just what the doctor ordered.
<schnobs> Dunno how it plays with Principia, though...
<zilti> Hmm. Well I don't feel like hacking the gravity. I added legs now though, which I retract after the physics jerk. Am testing it now
<zilti> Oh. Now the game crashed. Heh.
<awang> Principia doesn't have an effect on vessels if they're inside an atmosphere
<awang> At least not yet
<awang> So hacking gravity should produce normal-ish results, from what I understand
probus_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
probus_ has joined #RO
<schnobs> awang: I was more wondering about other vessels being elsewhere.
<schnobs> In the stock model, hacking gravity has no real effect on unloaded vessels.
<schnobs> Their orbital velocity is shown as reduced and they move to other positions depending on gravity, but once gravity is restored, they're back where they should be.
<schnobs> A nice side-effect of kepler mechanics.
<schnobs> but with principia constantly updating the situation of everything... there might be side effects.

<Shoe17> hows principia without RO?
<awang> schnobs: Ah, I see
<awang> IIRC Principia is pretty opinionated about where vessels should be
<awang> And generally ignores any attempt to move them
<awang> I guess that would include hacking gravity?
<schnobs> awang: in stock, they move because their position is derived from orbital parameters + corrent gravity. That's also how they get back when gravity is restored.
<awang> Shoe17: They don't really interact, IMNHSO, so you can just treat it like a regular install
<awang> s/IMNHSO/IMNSHO
<Qboid> awang meant to say: Shoe17: They don't really interact, IMNSHO, so you can just treat it like a regular install
<awang> Well, a regular install with more fun trajectories
<schnobs> I'd expect things to be different if the position is updated every so often.
<awang> schnobs: From what I understand, Principia literally doesn't care
<awang> The vessel goes where Principia says it should go, period
<awang> So HyperEdit doesn't work
<awang> Nor the cheat menu
<awang> ...Wait
<awang> I think I see your point
<awang> It depends on how Principia calculates gravitational force
<awang> I'm guessing that it is using something entirely distinct from KSP, because the algorithms used take very different parameters
<awang> (or at least from the little I know)
<awang> It has a sol_gravity_model.cfg, at the very least

<zilti> Why does this always happen? I mean, at least the wheels survived, but still. https://lyrion.ch/share/KSP/planefail.mkv
<zilti> Oh. I got it airborne. It has the aerodynamic stability of a dead dog launched by a trebuchet
<camlost> upload to a streaming site
<Qboid> camlost: blowfish left a message for you in #RO [08.04.2018 18:17:35]: "I think you forgot to update all the version files"
<zilti> camlost: on which one?
<camlost> zilti: does it matter?
<zilti> Apparently. Plus I don't know any to just share "snippets"
<camlost> i doubt anyone is downloading to see your video
<zilti> You don't have to, you can just stream it
<schnobs> camlost: I, too, don't like to sign up with a service just to quickly share a file.
<schnobs> (also looked at the clip, cannot really coment)
<schnobs> Looks like it struggles to get airborne, then loses control when almost-but-not-quite flying.
<schnobs> As you say it's hard to control, that's probably it.
<schnobs> Other than that, my only suggestion is that you should try to keep her down on the runway (using controls) until you're really fast enough to take off.
<zilti> Apparently I have to balance it until it is airborne, and then immediately pull down so it doesn't make a backflip
<awang> schnobs: I'll try to remember to watch that when I get back
<awang> egg|zzz|egg: Glad to hear that Principia avoids even more of the KSP mess :P

<probus_> Has anyone tried a manned mission to Mars or Venus in RO?
probus_ is now known as Probus
<schnobs> long tim ago, I have. might have been KSP 1.1.3 or thereabouts.
<Probus> Successful schnobs?
<zilti> wha....
<schnobs> basically yes. At some point all mission panning went out the window and I made things up as I went, but yes, it worked.
<schnobs> ^my lander.
<Probus> Wowsaa!
<schnobs> BigG holds 9, the lower parts was crew modules for the extended stay.
<Probus> Solid rockets to get back to orbit?
<Probus> Or are the liquid fueled engines in there too?
<schnobs> For the first part of the ascent, yes. Firing alongside a pair of AJ-10s, IIRC.
<Probus> Did it work?
<schnobs> Emphatically, yes. The lander did work, ascent too.
<schnobs> Was a lot of developemnt work, and struggling with the game.
<schnobs> For one thing, there's only one lander engine, the lunar one. of which I needed many.
<Probus> I wonder how much more stable that craft would be in 1.3.1
<schnobs> The other, all the resources and stuff were rather heavy. Eventually I started to mount spoilers (extendable control surfaces) for extra drag.
<Probus> Landing is the hard part of a Mars trip. Taking off is relatively easy I believe.
<schnobs> yes.
<schnobs> Going through the old screenshots...
<schnobs> Spoilers allowed for something like level flight, moch like CoM offset on Apollo.
<Probus> Did you pre-position supplies?
<schnobs> nope, all-in-one. That's what made the lander so heavy.
<schnobs> At the rear, a nerva. 15min burn time or thereabouts. (planning that burn was a thing in intself)
<Probus> Nuke engines the way to go then.
<schnobs> In the middle, Skylab + storable stage for Mars insertion (one of the proton uppers, IIRC)
<schnobs> Later, 4x Agena to get back from mars.
<Probus> So when you got back to orbit, you docked with the Agena stage?
<schnobs> On top, the Big Gemini with surface habitat, and it's backpack Service module.
<schnobs> Youp, the whole gemini was brought back to earth as return vehicle.
<schnobs> The service module is mostly supplies, and lots of space for trash. Plus a little fuel for de-orbit.
<Probus> What do the Nuke engines use for Fuel, Hydrogen right?
<schnobs> yes, that's why it's so large.
<Probus> You had room for 9, how many did you bring?
<schnobs> 9, I think?
<Probus> You had supplies for 9?!?
<schnobs> There was the skylab as interplanetary habitat, and the lander (though you may not see it) has not only two 4-man lander cans, but a Gemini MOL in the center.
<schnobs> 910t at transfer burn, 624t after(?) -- though apparently the Nuke remained attached until mars arrivel, at which point gross mass was 515t.
<Probus> Can you keep hydrogen that long?
<schnobs> Nope, certainly not. Maybe as a power source, or I simply forgot to get rid of it.
<schnobs> Eventually, 130t went down to mars, behind a 10m heat shield (the biggest there was).
<schnobs> Did I mention that this was way too much mass for too little drag?
<schnobs> It bears repeating.
<Probus> Can you generate hydrogen once you get to mars?
<schnobs> Nope, it was all storable propellants.
<schnobs> Can you believe me that I didn't take a screenshot with anone on the surface?
<Probus> Forgot to pack a camera :)
<schnobs> At some point, there were six people in the Skylab. Comparing names, I arrive at a minimum of seven on the mission. Honestly can't tell you how many went to the surface.
<schnobs> the whole thing was inspired by this:
<camlost> zilti:seems like your landing gears are a problem
<camlost> the only reason that old propeller planes use tailwheel conformation is that their engine's in the nose
<zilti> camlost: I solved the swerving and takeoff-yaw problem now by moving the turbines further to the front so the main wing elevons are behind the exhaust
<zilti> It's still ridiculously unstable as in it stalls extremely quicky, and as soon as it's stalled there's no way to recover
<camlost> i don't think FAR calculated exhaust
<camlost> it's about landing gear and CoM
<zilti> Well, it's the only change I made, and now it takes off smoothly
<camlost> you moved the engines of course the CoM shifts
<camlost> https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/47818-basic-aircraft-design-explained-simply-with-pictures/
TM1978m has joined #RO
<zilti> The CoM did barely shift and wasn't the problem. The center of thrust is now in front of the elevons.
<camlost> wtf is center of thrust
<camlost> does a vector has a center?
<lamont> engine thrust forces have a position that they’re applied to the craft
<lamont> each one applies a torque to a lever arm around the CoM, but for symmetric vehicles the torques all trivially cancel
<camlost> a position is not a center
qwertyy_ has joined #RO
<lamont> the sum over all the thrust forces produces the center of thrust and the total thrust magnitude
<schnobs> maybe "origin" would suit you better?
<camlost> it's about physics not a word game
<schnobs> Because said vector starts at a point.
<camlost> still not a center
qwertyy has quit [Ping timeout: 190 seconds]
<camlost> if that point moves along the direction of the vector, nothing changes, so not a center
<zilti> It's even called "Center of Thrust overlay" in KSP
<schnobs> Now go tell that to the forum. And reddit. And all the youtubers, and Squad, and...
<camlost> seems whoever writes that layer has limited knowledge of physics
<schnobs> Once upon a time, 1g was 9.82kmg/ms²
<schnobs> I was willing to join the choire and demand it to be changed.
<schnobs> "Center of thrust" doesn't light my fire in the same way, or at all.
<camlost> I don't know what you're trying to say, but a force clearly can't have a center
<lamont> if your center of thrust is misaligned with your center of mass you’ll get torque and your craft will spin (assuming the engines can’t gimbal enough to align the COT/COM) and you can yell at those words all you like but that’s what is gonna happen
<lamont> (and whatever you call it, its perfectly accurate physics)
<camlost> zilti assumes something changes because his "center of thrust" changes, that's definitely wrong
<ferram4> camlost is correct and there is no point in defining an actual center. It's just a line through space.
<ferram4> Fixing a position along that line to place an arrow only makes any logical sense from the point of view of making the visualization convenient
<camlost> or the engine gimbals
<ferram4> Same as with center of lift or aerodynamic enter, however you want to call it.
<ferram4> The aerodynamic forces are in a line. Only thing important is displaying that vector somewhere where it is easily usable
<Probus> I've been 3D printing a 1/72nd scale Saturn V. I'm up to the petal adapter above the trans-stage: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rx38dkkbzl8lyhc/IMG_3715.JPG?dl=0
<ferram4> And also, zilti, whatever changes you made, the elevons being in the exhaust does nothing. FAR has no effective way to calculate the effects of that.
<zilti> camlost: https://imgur.com/a/5jwfU
<Probus> The Gemini beside it is for reference.
<zilti> ferram4: but if the evelons are above-front or above-back of the "Center of Thrust" does. It's like front steering vs. rear steerin?
<ferram4> No, because the elevons do not act on the center of thrust
<ferram4> The way they affect the vehicle depends on where they're placed relative to the center of mass
<camlost> zilti: look at the distance between CoM and your landing gears, that's what make difference
<ferram4> zilti, I can't tell you what the problem is, but I can tell you that something aerodynamic is broken.
<camlost> aircraft's a lever and landing gear is falcrum
<ferram4> zilti, You have FAR installed, but the CoL still provides an arrow rather than being rendered as a single ball somewhere behind/in front of the CoM. So something else is providing aerodynamic forces
<zilti> Well yes, an arrow that points straight up
<ferram4> Which it should not
<ferram4> There should be no arrow
<ferram4> That's not the way things are displayed when FAR is working perfectly, which means that you're using some mod that has parts that are adding additional aerodynamic forces
<schnobs> ^didn't know that.

<Rokker> Bornholio: well, the missile truck would have beaten the Pegasus, and Pegasus isn't an ICBM

<Rokker> Bornholio: also, no pooping
