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-> S​kylar. — kinda informal, but does anyone have a built/compiled copy of Frobenius so I can experiment with it before the more formal release?

<discord-> r​sparkyc. — @egg not sure how useful (or at this point, even relevant) this is, but this is the kind of performance I was seeing on launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nOo695GOhY
<kmath> YouTube - Poor performance when getting to orbit
<discord-> r​sparkyc. — but i have all sorts of weird things going on it seems, sometimes time will progress slowly but the framerate is actually fine, and other times the framerate goes down to like 5fps

<discord-> r​sparkyc. — just noticed that the slow time at 1x even happens when i'm just sitting at the space complex - not even in flight
<discord-> r​sparkyc. — another question: is there a setting to limit the amount of vessel history that gets saved is the save file? I'm assuming that's the thing that's making those files get so big

<discord-> e​gg. — so it turns out Frobenius is completely broken if one launches a rocket
<discord-> e​gg. — I have therefore unshared the download while we investigate
<discord-> n​eph. — That seems it would prove problematic
<discord-> S​ir Mortimer. — indeed

<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — Welp, while that is being fixed
<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — @Damien Time to do your pioneer direct ascent, hehe
<discord-> D​amien. — Haha yeah
<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — I just saw your video on your heliocentric probe actually
<discord-> D​amien. — > so it turns out Frobenius is completely broken if one launches a rocket
<discord-> D​amien. — @egg
<discord-> D​amien. — Niche issue. Ship it
<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — If you keep rotated while facing the sun, won't it only face the sun for only part of its heliocentric orbit?
<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — If you keep it rotated while facing the sun, won't it only face the sun for only part of its heliocentric orbit? (edited)
<discord-> D​amien. — Yeah but you only need it to live for long enough to do its job
<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — Gotcha
<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — Is there a way to figure out how much rotation you need for your craft to stay aligned to its target?
<discord-> D​amien. — Not sure. I just planned my ejection burn such that it'd be facing the sun when it reached a heliocentric orbit
<discord-> D​amien. — Didn't work because of the bug but 1/4 of a year would be plenty of time to grab science
<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — Makes sense
<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — I wanna keep then always powered to milk that orbital perturbation science 🙂
<discord-> R​urouniDonut. — From Kerbalism
