UmbralRaptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fermat. We currently target 1.5.1, 1.6.1, and 1.7.2. <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

smartdummies. — I am getting ready to do my first rendezvous mission and am having difficulties displaying my flight plan relative to my target vessel. How do I change my plotting reference frame to be centered on the target vessel?

Sir Mortimer. — reminds me: i still have to do my first docking with principia.
<discord->
Starwaster. — I'm curious: Does Principia apply the gravity of EVERY body in the game to the ship no matter how far or how faint its pull on it?
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — yes. they don't calculate the effects of other vessel masses, tho 😛
<discord->
Starwaster. — can I attach giant rockets to the Moon and push it out of orbit?
<discord->
Mike. — @Starwaster iirc vessels don't affect bodies, so that probably means no.
<discord->
Damien. — ^ true

egg. — @RurouniDonut @smartdummies you have to target the vessel and change the navball to target mode (red navball) by clicking on the speed display, as in stock

RurouniDonut. — @Sir Mortimer Docking is way easier in Principia tbh
<discord->
Damien. — ^
<discord->
egg. — yeah it seems the target frame is really popular
<discord->
smartdummies. — @egg thank you. I knew I was forgetting something
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — BTW is there some kOS script that will execute a principia node? or can mechjeb do it?
<discord->
egg. — not really
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — so, manual piloting it is. I can live with that 😃

smartdummies. — If you setup the node as instant impulse and inertially fixed you should be able to copy the node parameters to mechjeb and have mechjeb execute it. But yeah manually starting and stopping is my preferred method as it is a bit more accurate
<discord->
dunbaratu. — @Sir Mortimer - There is a PR for kOS to allow it to detect Principia nodes and use them, but it required another PR to the Principia project to go along with it, and that Principia PR never happened. Thw guy who wrote both of them (the kOS PR and the Principia PR) isn't around at the moment, on vacation, but I'm waiting for him to come back to ask how to resolve this.
<discord->
dunbaratu. — I tried searching the Principia github page for the PR he was talking about and I can't find it (neither closed nor open), and I'm waiting to find out what happened.

egg. — isn't that @Butcher's?
