soundnfury, so you fly all your rockets manually, or do you use kos/krpc?

Mike`: manually, with RTFC steering and konrad giving me a helpful wall of numbers
<soundnfury>
(konrad is a telemachus frontend that does lots of orbital-mechanics calculations for e.g. burn planning)
<soundnfury>
just now I used it to send an unguided kick stage to within 12,800km of the Moon. Now launching another to try and get even closer :-)
<Mike`>
RTFC?
<soundnfury>
RemoteTech Flight Computer
<Mike`>
ah okay
<soundnfury>
during ascent I do the pitch kick by keying in (guessed) numbers
<soundnfury>
then let it hold srf+ until I get out of the atmo
<Mike`>
yeah that works i suppose
<Mike`>
i didnt have the best experiences with RTs PID though
<Mike`>
so i always let MJ steer, even if i schedule burns with RTFC :)
<soundnfury>
well, once I'm in orbit, I steer by hotas + SAS ;)
<Mike`>
i always flew my rockets manually/with sas in stock, but lamonts work with PEG is just too good not to use for me now :D with autostaging, it can fly your rocket all the way to orbit without any input. Especially helpful when you're watching movies or doing other stuff during ascents ;)
<soundnfury>
it's just in atmo that I use the FC, as it's slightly more precise

which i do, especially cause my game's running so slow, solid yellow clock kinda all the time now :|
<soundnfury>
There we go, 870km perilune obtained with an unguided kick stage firing from parking orbit, using konrad to plan the burn ^_^
<soundnfury>
(done by deliberately aiming 10,000km short to compensate for the residual error I got last time ;)
<Mike`>
hehehe
<soundnfury>
sure, konrad guidance isn't automatic, you have to use your noggin a bit. But it's more _fun_ that way...

<Starwaster>
are there any ISRU processes by which I might obtain nitrogen from an asteroid? (there are none in Real ISRU so I'm wondering if there is anything I could realistically add... nothing comes to mind unfortunately)
