Can someone help me with filterextentions?
<Dasm>
I have it on my install, but I don't see a button to bring up options so that I may unhide the parts that are filtered out.

Any one want to help me get to Mars?
<ProjectThoth>
Dasm: Second star to the left, and straight on 'til morning.

<soundnfury>
there's no place like Mars

I've been playing with the maneuver node but can't get anything to stick
<Bornholio>
if you play with your manuever node too much it will get sticky
<Rokker>
Bornholio: there was an SR-71 pilot in the audience
<Bornholio>
i've been drinking don't make me go there
<Bornholio>
oh never mind, once you go black you never go back? who was he
<Dasm>
Really? Can I not get help with RO in the RO channel?
<Bornholio>
what orbit are you starting in?
<Dasm>
180x200
<Bornholio>
do you konrad or MJ avaialbe, or don't wish to use either
<Dasm>
I have MJ
<Dasm>
What's konrad?
<Bornholio>
target mars, go to man tools, use the advanced transfer to another planet
<Bornholio>
oh know the sound and the fury will set you straight
<Dasm>
Telemachus?
<Bornholio>
anyways once you get the ATP porkchop plot, you can set a node up automatically. I like to set up sat each with the next window for planetary launches in Kerbal alarm clock so i know when to plan missions
<Rokker>
Bornholio: didnt catch his name and he was busy talking to General Engle
<Rokker>
Bornholio: I recorded maybe 20 minutes of his tall for yall
<Bornholio>
over 6'er?
<Bornholio>
:)
<Dasm>
Konrad is Telemachus?
<Bornholio>
suprised you didn't summon Soundnfury with the first question
<Bornholio>
is front end of telemachus is all i know for sure
<Dasm>
So I got MJ to plot the point as "ASAP" but the problem I have is limited dV, I would rather a longer cruise and lower dV requirement for the burn
<Bornholio>
then use the lowest dV or select something in your range from the plot
<soundnfury>
Dasm: konrad is a telemachus frontend, yeah
<soundnfury>
it's definitely 'for advanced users' though xD
<soundnfury>
one nice thing about konrad, though: the 'xfer' console runs independently of ksp (you don't need telemachus for it) and its 'Re' field will tell you distance from Earth at planetary encounter
<soundnfury>
useful for planning comms

It flies surprisingly well in standard Mars atmosphere (I'd have expected that I'd need to thicken it to pre-mariner values).
<schnobs>
At a bit over mach1, it can glide seemingly forever.
<schnobs>
But trying to slow it down, it becomes utterly oncontrollable. CoL seemsto shift way back, or at any rate it's suddenly unbearably nose-heavy.
<schnobs>
On top of that, it starts to roll, badly. No amount of RCS can stop it.
<schnobs>
So ultimatley it plunges into the ground sideways.
<schnobs>
I guess it's ultimatley due to something something transsonic... if anyone here could give me an explainer, that would be most kind.

awang: hehe, nice idea. Sadly one does have to pull up the actual KSP window from time to time; not everything can be made an action group :(

Does Konrad not support sending WASD/etc. commands?
<awang>
Or maybe (ab)use MJ?
<soundnfury>
awang: oh you can steer fine (by MJ, indeed)
<soundnfury>
it's more all the various bits of GUI that need clicking on from time to time
<soundnfury>
e.g. you can collect science by action group but then you have to click on the 'transmit' button
<awang>
Oh
<awang>
I guess the lazy-ish way around that would be to install xScience and programmatically send the science
<awang>
Doing more work to not work at work
<soundnfury>
I have [x] Science, and it can't do that
<awang>
Well, I guess not, since Konrad is a front-end
<awang>
Or maybe hack x science to support action groups
<soundnfury>
[x] Science doesn't transmit science. It just collects it
<awang>
Wait
<awang>
I could have sworn it had a button to transmit it
