Rokker i see the F32 is comming into vogue today?
<Rokker>
Bornholio: I mean in hindsight it probably would have been the better choice
<Rokker>
I always loved the X-32
<Bornholio>
its a mouth breather
<Bornholio>
personally F22, all current USAF fighter replaced
<Rokker>
Bornholio: so is the F-16
<Rokker>
which is my favorite fighter
<Rokker>
Bornholio: altho oddly, im not a fan of the F-86D
<Rokker>
which has the same kinda intake design as the F-22
<Rokker>
boy, the mechjeb aircraft autopilot makes xplane contracts so much easier
<Bornholio>
yup. personally just use SmartA.S.S for all that though
<Rokker>
Bornholio: eh, i didnt wanna wait for the climb to 13 km
<Rokker>
Bornholio: and now im just pushing this baby to 25 km to see if i can
<Rokker>
then ima aim for mach 2 on mach 1 parts when i get there
<Rokker>
seems like even 19 km is pushing it
<Bornholio>
sounds about right unless your really upping wing surface and power at the expense of lower altitude speed

Bornholio: but this was a fast plane :(
<Rokker>
ima try something dumb
<Rokker>
im gonna land using mechjeb aircraft autopilot
<Rokker>
line up for landing spot, set vertical speed to 0.5 m/s and let her go
<Rokker>
Bornholio: ok so im dropping to 100 meters, from there i should have about 37 meters to drop until ground. that means, what, 75 seconds to drop,at 140 m/s that means i need to start descent... really god damned far out. screw it, im eyeballing this
<Bornholio>
flair landing ftw
<Rokker>
Bornholio: not with this wing area its not

man I am having the most bizarre heat related experiences lately. Just when I think everything is working ok I put up a test ship to make sure my new radiators are working ok and MLI is working ok... and my tank keeps gradually heating up. And its internal flux is negative and far outweighs ANY reported incoming heat so there's no way it can be getting hotter. I turn off conduction and it still gets hotter. I turn off the radiators and it still gets
<Starwaster>
hotter. wtf man

I 'm pretty sure your a saint for try to get KSP to run heat in a realistic way. It just doesn't make send sometimes
<Bornholio>
sense
<Starwaster>
uhm.... the heat increases are linked to... my RCS usage
<Starwaster>
uhm whut?
<Starwaster>
this is bizarre.... it's an SSTU MUS stage... with builtin RCS ... I wonder if there's some weird SSTU thing that makes RCS have heat?
<Starwaster>
whatever it is it has to be adjusting the temperature directly because I'm putting a constant 6.75 kW of cooling on it and there's no way it should be rising
<Starwaster>
I swear I like these parts and the mod in general but he's got so much proprietary shit it would not surprise me in the least
<Bornholio>
agree
<Rokker>
Bornholio: jesus. i decided to do 2 new things on my last attempt, which succeeded
<Rokker>
i disabled steering and went for the grass
<Rokker>
i must have passed like... 10 cm off the runway, which would have screwed me big time

sounds like you live in colorado rokker
<Rokker>
Bornholio: i still had front gear steering on
<Rokker>
which i think caused my bad wobbles on landing
<Rokker>
Bornholio: i did tokyo drift and do a 180, but thats better than asploding
<Bornholio>
i especially liked the music right at the end
<Bornholio>
not the end end, then end end end
<Rokker>
Bornholio: aye
<Bornholio>
I still wanted squirel girl to appear
<Bornholio>
one of these times she is just gonna waltz in and wreck house on villans
<Starwaster>
who is squirrel girl
<Bornholio>
the most powerful Marvel superhero
<Bornholio>
and good night

Starwaster: same idea but its a squirrel and a girl
<Starwaster>
bitten by a radioactive squirrel...?
<Rokker>
Starwaster: eh, no. I think shes just a mutant with a costume
<Rokker>
but other than that. very squirrelly, very girly
<Starwaster>
Squir-rel girl! squir-rel girl! Does whatever a squirrel can!

bornholio I finally figured out why one of my tanks kept picking up heat when I used my RCS. Even though the tank was plenty big enough to put RCS propellant in, I was lazy and attached external tanks. When the RCS requested resources it was transferred TO the tank because it's that SSTU tank with builtin RCS... even though it wasnt going to be STORED on the tank and the tank didnt even have room for it, just doing the resource request is enough for
<Starwaster>
the part to pick up heat from the resource...
