raptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fréchet. 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… | <egg> also 4e16 m * 2^-52 is uncomfortably large

<discord-> B​utcher. — @egg any idea why planet textures need to be rotated just under 92 degrees for ksp?

<discord-> w​aptdragon3. — maybe so certain parts of the planet are facing (ksc) the sun? if that's the case, then y not just rotated the gameobject. Other than aesthetic reasons, i can think of a technical reason
<discord-> B​utcher. — The planet rotates, so everything faces the sun at some point.
<discord-> w​aptdragon3. — i mean 'starts off' facing
<discord-> B​utcher. — You have to pick some sort of meridian, it's just ksp seems to have a weird one (my source data uses 180° long as it's meridian.
<discord-> B​utcher. — At least I think the source is that...
<discord-> w​aptdragon3. — either way 92 degrees is a weird rotation. its about 1.6 radians, so it's not a radian thing. odd
<discord-> B​utcher. — Could be related to stock ksc position I suppose.
<discord-> w​aptdragon3. — possibly
<discord-> B​utcher. — Hmm it is 1.6 radians to 3 sf.
<discord-> B​utcher. — Though that's an odd number in and of itself.
<discord-> n​eph. — What is sf?
