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

Acer_Saccharum. — is there any way to display a vessel's true longitude?
<discord->
Myshiko. — What is true longitude? Doesn’t KER show longitude?
<discord->
Myshiko. — What I saw in KER more or less matched what I saw in Google Earth at that coordinates, so, is it true enough ?

Acer_Saccharum. — Angle with respect to the first point of aries (the direction that the longitude of perigee and longitude of ascending node are measured with respect to)
<discord->
Acer_Saccharum. — This would be useful for knowing where you are in a circular equatorial orbit
<discord->
lpg. — turns out it's not a krash thing, it's a hyperedit thing (krash happens to borrow code from hyperedit). Did a "real" launch, and hyperedited from launchpad to moon orbit, and seeing the same behavior
<discord->
lpg. — f5/f9 appears to fix it, though I don't have a good setup to test conclusively

lpg. — ahah. switching to a different vessel above the magic altitude, then back to the vessel below, also seems to fix it. and that's something that can be done in krash

egg. — @Acer_Saccharum have you tried using the orbit analyzer?
<discord->
egg. — @lpg et al., do you have tips on making videos or animated gifs of KSP
<discord->
egg. — We'd like to show some pretty moving things when announcing the rotation stuff
<discord->
lpg. — zero knowledge here
<discord->
egg. — @Damien maybe?
<discord->
siimav. — @Standecco might have some hints as well.

Damien. — I've only ever used shadowplay for recording video tbh but if you have an Nvidia card it does the job
<discord->
Acer_Saccharum. — I have used the orbit analyzer
<discord->
Acer_Saccharum. — It's super useful, but of course displays mean orbital elements, which was exactly what I was looking for yesterday

Acer_Saccharum. — It's super useful, but of course displays mean orbital elements, which wasn't exactly what I was looking for yesterday (edited)
<discord->
Acer_Saccharum. — I needed to know my true longitude to know precisely when in a circular equatorial orbit I needed to make a burn
<discord->
Acer_Saccharum. — It was great for displaying my satellites' various orbital periods
