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

egg. — Frobenius or Fubini?
<discord-_>
egg. — @Pteropodidae I think that is what unity uses?
<discord-_>
Pteropodidae. — Ah
<discord-_>
Pteropodidae. — For some reason I had the impression that Principia was doing all the calculations itself and was setting vessel orientation/velocity/etc. on its own
<discord-_>
Pteropodidae. — Not interfacing with PhysX
<discord-_>
egg. — @Pteropodidae we are not interfacing with PhysX
<discord-_>
egg. — except in that we do things on top of KSP which uses Unity which uses that
<discord-_>
egg. — @Pteropodidae the things we simulate are at the vessel (or more accurately, pile up, that is, cluster of vessels that touch) level
<discord-_>
egg. — within a pile up, the internal arrangement of parts is dictated to us by the game
<discord-_>
egg. — however we know the global properties of the pile up, because we know about all net forces and torques
<discord-_>
Pteropodidae. — Er, my bad then
<discord-_>
Pteropodidae. — I guess it really came down to me having a different mental model of how Principia works than how it works in reality

Pteropodidae. — Wait
<discord-_>
Pteropodidae. — So I had the impression that Principia directly set the quantities it tracks
<discord-_>
Pteropodidae. — But instead Principia changes the inputs that KSP's built-in integrators use so that KSP's integrators would give the same results as Principia?
<discord-_>
Pteropodidae. — How off am I?
