(well, that is not PhysX’s fault, it is just investigating workarounds to PhysX’s behaviour, and some approaches that we initially thought were sound are not)
<whitequark>
egg|laptop|egg: hah
<egg|laptop|egg>
(but 500 rpm rockets are very silly)
<whitequark>
if you mount a drill on top you could make a borehole.
<egg|laptop|egg>
(in particular because the various parts start being stretched apart so the rocket is made of magically held bits spinning away)
<egg|laptop|egg>
also cute graphs
<whitequark>
have you ever considered integrating jsbsim with ksp
<egg|laptop|egg>
also my cat is snoring
<egg|laptop|egg>
jsbsim ?
<egg|laptop|egg>
Johann-Sebastian Bach sim
<egg|laptop|egg>
well, I guess this sounds a lot more like ferram4’s purview
<whitequark>
hmmm
<egg|laptop|egg>
but I should point out that, whereas what we do in Principia is ultimately pretty standard problems, ferram4 actually has to deal with strange new problems
<raptop>
Music of the spherical harmonics?
<egg|laptop|egg>
most flight sims don’t have to deal with your plane suddenly deciding that it no longer has wings
<egg|laptop|egg>
so you can precompute good models as slowly as you want
<egg|laptop|egg>
and most sims deal with planes, and not whatever weirdly misshapen things people come up with, so the model can’t be too tailored to sane aircraft
<whitequark>
interesting
<egg|laptop|egg>
whereas FAR has to come up with a flight model for a clothes iron in real-time
<egg|laptop|egg>
(I recommend the #principia channel for general principia design chatter and occasionally blathering with ferram as well)
<WeylandsWings>
egg|laptop|egg: do you play DnD
<egg|laptop|egg>
very occasionally, and if so, very weirdly
<egg|laptop|egg>
in the two campaigns I have been in, I have played an egg

<WeylandsWings>
what does the statblock of an egg have
<WeylandsWings>
lol egg of holding
<egg|laptop|egg>
mostly it is a convenience so I can be in someone’s pocket when I’m not able to join for timezone or other busitude reasons
<egg|laptop|egg>
my role in combat generally consists in doing weird things with mage hand, e.g. holding a cafe menu in front of someone’s face as they were trying to stab someone on the party
