UmbralRaptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is 🐎. We currently target 1.5.1, 1.6.1, and 1.7.x. <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…

<discord-_> P​ataSolar. — is there any interaction between Principia and what level your tracking station is at?
<discord-_> D​amien. — Yeah I think there is
<discord-_> D​amien. — Regarding body targeting
<discord-_> P​ataSolar. — okay. also sounds like I won't have a manoeuvre node on my nav ball until I upgrade my tracking station (to have (stock) patched conics)
<discord-_> S​ir Mortimer. — yep
<discord-_> S​ir Mortimer. — I'm currently pulling my hair out trying to do a Kerbin-Jool transfer with a Eve gravity assist. I just don't know how @Reach pulls it off
<discord-_> D​amien. — yeah I've not managed to do that yet either, although I kind of did one but just without jool being in the right place
<discord-_> D​amien. — actually no, mine was venus jupiter but same thing
<discord-_> D​amien. — actually no, mine was EEJ (edited)
<discord-_> D​amien. — @Sir Mortimer try a kerbin-kerbin assist
<discord-_> D​amien. — it's a bit easier
<discord-_> D​amien. — only don't do what me and kurgut were doing which was trying to hit earth again in the same point in its orbit. You need to hit it slightly later in its orbit so you can bend round it

<UmbralRaptop> uh
<discord-_> l​pg. — Someone a while ago mentioned that one could use mechjeb's porkchops to locate transfer windows (though not for planning the actual maneuver). But this would require being able to set a planet as Target, which doesn't appear to be possible. Is there a step I'm overlooking, or is this just not really an option?
<discord-_> n​eph. — Targeting planets? You can do that with ugpraded mission control or is that already obvious and I'm missing the point
<discord-_> n​eph. — Targeting planets? You can do that with upgraded mission control or is that already obvious and I'm missing the point (edited)
<discord-_> l​pg. — if I can, I don't know how
<discord-_> l​pg. — clicking a planet just focuses on it. principia's own 'select a target' mode doesn't change that
egg|zzz|egg has joined #principia
<discord-_> D​amien. — @lpg select target is for vessels. You need select celestial or whatever it's called
<discord-_> D​amien. — But that needs a tracking stn upgrade same as patched conics does in stock
<discord-_> l​pg. — by "a tracking station upgrade", which one, specifically? I've done the first and where might I find 'select celestial' (or whatever it's called)
<discord-_> l​pg. — by "a tracking station upgrade", which one, specifically? I've done the first. and where might I find 'select celestial' (or whatever it's called) (edited)
<discord-_> l​pg. — err. I've done more than the first. but this is newcomms, so... I may be better off looking in the cfgs than asking
<discord-_> D​amien. — @lpg whatever you need for patched conics (tracking stn and mission control maybe?) gives you celestial targeting in principia
<discord-_> l​pg. — ok, then I have that, just need to find the mythical button
<discord-_> D​amien. — 1 sec let me try and find it on a screenshot
<discord-_> l​pg. — sadly, manual fiddling has already told me the window I was looking for is... in a week. but there'll be others
<discord-_> D​amien. — Bottom left of principia window
<discord-_> D​amien. — You can also use KER target window
<discord-_> D​amien. — To target the body
<discord-_> l​pg. — well, the good news is I'm not blind
<discord-_> D​amien. — Maybe it's tracking and astro complex
<discord-_> D​amien. — I can't remember
<discord-_> l​pg. — oh the little bugger
<discord-_> l​pg. — the option (as well as Select Target, so I _am_ a bit blind) _only_ shows up in map mode
<discord-_> D​amien. — haha
<discord-_> l​pg. — thanks
<discord-_> S​ir Mortimer. — hm. does targeting a celestial help in manœuvre planning?
<discord-_> S​ir Mortimer. — because if yes, i’m going to cry myself to sleep now.
<oeuf> not that I know of
