UmbralRaptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fuchs. We currently target 1.5.1, 1.6.1, 1.7.x, 1.8.1, and 1.9.1. <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-> M​yshiko. — > So after putting a couple things in orbit my game stutters during high timewarp (warping through build times). Is that normal or a sign that my CPU can't handle Principia?
<discord-> M​yshiko. — @Herrkurt Principia obviously can eat as much CPU, as given. If your CPU is more then 30-50% slower then 9900k, having a bit faster CPU might make warp a bit smoother. If its about 9900K level - well, it's as good as it gets.

<discord-> M​yshiko. — I'm basing the above sentence in comparing performance on i9-9900K (8 core, 4.9 Gz) machine with i7-6950X (10 core, 3.9 Hz). The i9-9900k is a tiny bit smoother on high warp, but not much. Video cards are the same.

<discord-> M​yshiko. — The i7-6950x is about the same as 9900k with all cores used, but single core of 9900K is faster by 20-30%. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-9900K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-6950X/4028vs3604
<discord-> M​yshiko. — And KSP loves single core performance.

<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — is there a principia guide for rendez-vous
<discord-> e​gg. — kind of
<discord-> e​gg. — it is probably out of date, it needs pictures, etc.
<discord-> e​gg. — if someone wants to contribute to the guides that can be useful
<discord-> e​gg. — we are not very qualified to do that, we don't really play
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — thanks
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — anything is better then nothing
<discord-> e​gg. — @Conventia another way to check for a sun-synchronous orbit is using the orbit analyzer
<discord-> e​gg. — the analyser will give you the rate of nodal precession https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/wiki/Orbit-analysis#mean-elements
<discord-> e​gg. — and you want that to be about 0.98 degrees per day
<discord-> e​gg. — @Conventia doing it that way should be far more precise (and less finnicky, and faster) than eyeballing the precession
<discord-> e​gg. — eventually we intend to give you direct sun-synchronicity data in that analysis view, but that will take a little while (it means we need to analyse the orbit of the planets as well as that of the spacecraft)
<discord-> e​gg. — in the meantime it does unfortunately mean that you have to know the length of the year
<discord-> e​gg. — and you want that to be about 0.985 degrees per day (edited)
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — does hyperedit work with principia?
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — it seems to return me to my original orbit when i change my orbit
<discord-> e​gg. — nothing that changes orbit works with Principia
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — ow i see
<discord-> e​gg. — neither the stock set orbit cheat, hyperedit, mods that have warpy engines, etc.
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — is there a cheat menu for principia
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — the stock set orbit cheat works for me
<discord-> e​gg. — If you need to cheat things somewhere, there is an escape hatch
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — escape hatch?
<discord-> e​gg. — you can go to the cheat menu, and hack gravity
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — ow I see
<discord-> e​gg. — while gravity is hacked, Principia will ignore all loaded vessels
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — ow thanks
<discord-> e​gg. — beware, this will kill their flight plans and histories
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — uhu
<discord-> e​gg. — so remember to unhack gravity once you are done :-p
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — will do hahaha
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — thanks!
<discord-> e​gg. — (stock set orbit works exactly as much as hyperedit; if it worked for you it is probably that your vessel was on the pad or something like that)
<discord-> e​gg. — if Principia does not know about your vessel, you can move it around with impunity
<discord-> e​gg. — if Principia knows your vessel however, it will put it back where it belongs

<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — ok i see
<discord-> I​diottsandwich. — thanks
<discord-> _​felixu_. — So, this is weird...
<discord-> _​felixu_. — The sun is stuck in the same position all the time. Same lighting, same time of day
<discord-> D​amien. — earth is now tidally locked confirmed
<raptop> (we've secretly switched _felixu_.'s copy of KSP with a pre 0.12 one)
<discord-> _​felixu_. — What the hell is this bot? Huh..?
<discord-> D​amien. — lol
<discord-> e​gg. — sigh
<discord-> D​amien. — shh no one tell him
<discord-> e​gg. — we need a how to use the channel guide as well as a principia guide
<discord-> e​gg. — as the name of the bot indicates, it is a bridge to an IRC channel
<discord-> D​amien. — >name of the bot indicates
<discord-> D​amien. — to those who can read chinese
<discord-> e​gg. — its profile pic, too
<discord-> e​gg. — which is a picture of 鹊桥
<discord-> e​gg. — (the relay satellite)
<discord-> D​amien. — >name of the bot indicates
<discord-> D​amien. — to those who can read chinese or can recognise the profile pic 😛 (edited)
<raptop> wait, people don't turn off profile pics?
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Warping in the tracking station moves the comms station icons at the usual pace, but the Earth is stationary
<discord-> _​felixu_. — The fuck
<discord-> e​gg. — well, the rhs people pane has bots near the top
<discord-> e​gg. — @_felixu_ you are using Krash?
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Yes
<raptop> ah
<discord-> e​gg. — well
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Wait no
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Not right now
<discord-> _​felixu_. — I've got it installed though
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Back to patched conics for me. I haven't got the time nor energy to figure out what the bloody hell could be causing this
raptop has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Weirdest KSP issue I've ever had, seriously
raptop has joined #principia
<discord-> D​amien. — before you do, film it
<discord-> D​amien. — and what happens if you change reference frame?
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Just to be clear, am I supposed to be on Fuchs? The forum says it's for 1.8.1 as well as 1.9.1
<discord-> D​amien. — yes
<discord-> e​gg. — yes
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Changing reference frame seems to be completely normal
<discord-> _​felixu_. — So I just exited the tracking station the third time, and now it's night and my vehicle, that was sitting on the pad, is gone
<discord-> D​amien. — so the bug happens in all frames?
<discord-> _​felixu_. — I haven't established any connection between the reference frames and my issue
<discord-> _​felixu_. — I'm not sure what you'd like me to do
<discord-> D​amien. — something to do with RSS/kopernicus maybe? I have no idea how all that works
<discord-> D​amien. — I was just asking if the frozen earth was in every reference frame or only a specific one
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Oh, warping is still broken! It's just that I'm stuck in nighttime now
<discord-> D​amien. — because the camera moves in each frame
<discord-> e​gg. — nothing you mention resembles a Principia issue
<discord-> _​felixu_. — This is my first load with Principia, and my first load with this problem
<discord-> _​felixu_. — I didn't change anything else
<discord-> e​gg. — then you have the weirdest RSS install in the world
<discord-> _​felixu_. — How very special
<discord-> _​felixu_. — You want me to screen record this shit?
<discord-> D​amien. — yes
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Alright
<discord-> D​amien. — the reason I mentioned changing reference frames is because that rotates the camera
<discord-> D​amien. — it'd be interesting to see if the bug is somehow related to the orientation of the camera
<discord-> D​amien. — or to the planet itself
<discord-> D​amien. — some texture thing
<discord-> D​amien. — I dunno
<discord-> D​amien. — just stabbing in the dark here
<discord-> e​gg. — To be honest, it would be interesting to cease wasting time on likely-unrelated bugs that are reported by people who do not care to report them in detail and who do not use the mod anyway
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Again, unrelated how?
<discord-> e​gg. — None of this has ever been reported by anyone else, so I suspect some weird misconfiguration of the solar system
<discord-> _​felixu_. — That wouldn't explain how it wasn't happening before, and how I've been using this install with no issues for a week
<discord-> e​gg. — oh it can be a misconfiguration that interacts with Principia
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Also, warp to morning only takes 25 minutes each time
<discord-> D​amien. — I'm just curious because that sounds super broken
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Now to figure out where Windows Game Bar saves recordings.... *cries in windows noob*
<discord-> s​iimav. — Search for *Captures*
<discord-> _​felixu_. — found it lol
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Is it okay if I use Google Photos to send it over, or do you guys prefer something else?
<discord-> D​amien. — use what you like for me
<discord-> e​gg. — anyway if you do want us to look at something, INFO log, save, etc.
<discord-> _​felixu_. — well, here's the issue itself: (feel free to skip tracking station loading time ofc)
<discord-> D​amien. — that is weird
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Lol, yeah
<discord-> D​amien. — so the earth texture isn't rotating
<discord-> D​amien. — but everything else is
<discord-> _​felixu_. — I guess...
<discord-> e​gg. — no Damien read the frame
<discord-> e​gg. — we are in ECEF
<discord-> e​gg. — the Earth is not supposed to rotate
<discord-> D​amien. — oh
<discord-> D​amien. — didn't see that
<discord-> D​amien. — watching in a tiny window
<discord-> _​felixu_. — but you see, the sun was stationary relative to the ground
<discord-> _​felixu_. — and there's the weird business at 1:!8
<discord-> _​felixu_. — and there's the weird business at 1:18 (edited)
<discord-> e​gg. — which mod do the little markers dotting the planet come from?
<discord-> e​gg. — not the launch sites, the other ones
<discord-> D​amien. — realantennas I think
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Real Antennas?
<discord-> e​gg. — @DRVeyl what are you doing
<discord-> D​amien. — the antennas are placed at certain coordinates so is that an RSS config now?
<discord-> D​amien. — I have no idea
<discord-> l​pg. — yes the station locations come from RSS
<discord-> _​felixu_. — anything you'd like me to do before removing Principia? Anything to try? I don't want to give up on n-body, but... ☝️
<discord-> e​gg. — also, does someone who actually uses RA, RSS, and Principia know about this?
<discord-> D​amien. — I've used all 3 and they work fine
<discord-> D​amien. — first I've heard of it
<discord-> e​gg. — OK
<discord-> D​amien. — then again I've not tested the latest RSS
<discord-> e​gg. — hm
<discord-> e​gg. — so either RSS broke something recently, or something else in that install breaks something
<discord-> D​amien. — the new texture/heightmap stuff
<discord-> D​amien. — gonna update now and have a look
<discord-> e​gg. — the internet where I am is horrid (took me a day to download KSP) so I will leave RSS install experimentation to you
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Disclaimer: I think I'm on 18.1, and not 18.2
<discord-> _​felixu_. — for RSS
<discord-> _​felixu_. — so the first shader release
<discord-> D​amien. — before we start digging, update to latest
<discord-> _​felixu_. — okay
<discord-> _​felixu_. — will get back
<discord-> D​amien. — no point trying to find the source of a bug that's already fixed
<discord-> e​gg. — @lpg you haven't encountered anything like that, have you
<discord-> e​gg. — @DRVeyl probably false alarm if @Damien is to be believed :-p
<_whitenotifier-d13c> [Principia] lewa-j starred Principia - https://git.io/JfDDB
<discord-> _​felixu_. — sorry, I am on the latest RSSTextures, which is where the heightmap seems to come from, but not quite the latest RSS
<discord-> _​felixu_. — wait no
<discord-> _​felixu_. — My shaders work properly
<discord-> _​felixu_. — I must be on the latest
<discord-> D​RVeyl. — The ground stations, like any CommNetHome, are a gameobject with transform position from CelestialBody's method for lat/long/alt and parented to the CelestialBody
<discord-> _​felixu_. — ~~sorry, I am on the latest RSSTextures, which is where the heightmap seems to come from, but not quite the latest RSS~~ (edited)
<discord-> e​gg. — yeah so we should rotate that properly
<discord-> _​felixu_. — @Damien nevermind, nothing to update RSS-wise. I was mistaken
<discord-> D​amien. — ok
<discord-> e​gg. — the CelestialBody, or the ScaledBody?
<discord-> D​amien. — I'm downloading latest RSS and RSS-Tex
<discord-> e​gg. — the CelestialBody, or the scal/edBody? (edited)
<discord-> D​RVeyl. — I did have to do something special once for principia where you might rotate the universe and the stations ended up weirdly not rotated. I just periodically check that their transform is still at the right lat/long/alt and move it if they went too far.
<discord-> e​gg. — the CelestialBody, or the scaledBody? (edited)
<discord-> D​RVeyl. — Celestial, not scaled.
<discord-> e​gg. — hmmm
<discord-> D​RVeyl. — There's a log entry if they moved.
<discord-> D​RVeyl. — Did this a LONG time ago.
<discord-> e​gg. — might be a bit odd with the non-main body
<discord-> D​RVeyl. — Debugging very early on with lpg
<discord-> _​felixu_. — (not to interrupt the dev conversation here, but can I uninstall Principia?)
<discord-> e​gg. — ideally you would key off the scaled body
<discord-> D​amien. — @_felixu_ just remove it yeah
<discord-> D​amien. — move the folder out of gamedata
<discord-> _​felixu_. — i know lol
<discord-> _​felixu_. — okay
<discord-> D​amien. — ah
<discord-> e​gg. — @DRVeyl because the scaledBody is the only thing that can represent tilted bodies
<discord-> e​gg. — I think @Sir Mortimer plays a similar game
<discord-> e​gg. — but let's wait for @Damien to look at the current state of things first
<discord-> D​amien. — loading now
<discord-> e​gg. — in the meantime I will make some semblance of dinner
<discord-> _​felixu_. — Would it make any difference that I downloaded Principia directly from the forum and did not build it myself?
<discord-> _​felixu_. — And I was also wondering about the lack of values in the Tolerance and Steps boxes, as seen in my video. Another sign of something broken?
<discord-> D​amien. — those don't work in tracking station
<discord-> D​amien. — because you have no craft to show them for
<discord-> D​amien. — if you select a craft, then I believe they work
<discord-> D​amien. — egg can correct me
<discord-> _​felixu_. — The boxes were empty on the launchpad as well! Something I didn't show in the video
<egg|cell|egg> These refer to the prediction of the selected vessel
<egg|cell|egg> Yes
<egg|cell|egg> This is all normal
<discord-> D​amien. — ok loaded, lets have a look
<egg|cell|egg> The vessel is only known to Principia once it flies
<discord-> D​amien. — all looks normal to me
<discord-> D​amien. — earth spins in ICI, sun moves around earth in ECEF
<discord-> D​amien. — tracking stations move relative to surface
<discord-> D​amien. — you've not installed principia twice or completely broken RSS in a weird way have you?
<discord-> D​amien. — I'd install all 3 from scratch tbh
<discord-> D​amien. — earth spins in ECI, sun moves around earth in ECEF (edited)
<discord-> s​iimav. — As a new Windows user you're probably not aware that you're supposed to delete the system32 folder
<discord-> D​amien. — ^
<discord-> _​felixu_. — 😄
<discord-> D​amien. — ye olde raidernick fix for everything
<discord-> D​amien. — can't hurt
<egg|cell|egg> Misinstall does sound likely
<discord-> _​felixu_. — you want me to install RSS from scratch?
<egg|cell|egg> And diagnosing that is hell
<discord-> _​felixu_. — I followed the guide, what more do you want?
<discord-> _​felixu_. — I've literally had 0 issues so far
<discord-> _​felixu_. — *none*
<egg|cell|egg> I want nothing
<discord-> D​amien. — with no one else reporting it and my test showing fine this is clearly an install error. in the absence of any other evidence, reinstalling the mods relating to the problem is the only possible fix
<discord-> D​amien. — I just downloaded latest RSS and RSS-Tex from GH top manually update my copies, and already had principia fuchs installed
<discord-> D​amien. — I just downloaded latest RSS and RSS-Tex from GH to manually update my copies, and already had principia fuchs installed (edited)
<discord-> D​amien. — I have no issues
<egg|cell|egg> If your install is wedged in such a way that you cannot use Principia, and you want to use it, you may want to unwedge it. But I for one want nothing.
<discord-> D​amien. — yeah you're on your own as it stands. sorry
<egg|cell|egg> I want my potatoes to cook, perhaps
<discord-> D​amien. — *unable to reproduce*
<egg|cell|egg> But the potatoes you cannot help with
<discord-> D​amien. — there is a fix
<discord-> D​amien. — order takeaway
<discord-> D​amien. — I've got a kebab en route
<discord-> D​RVeyl. — Good. Id rather not have to move everything to scaled space just yet. I don't think the occluders are there anyway. ;)
<discord-> A​douge. — Does the "hack gravity" trick mess with principia too much?
<discord-> A​douge. —
<discord-> A​douge. — i.e. if I use it too often to fix airlaunch attitude problem, is it going to mess up my planets?
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — Hi all, just double checking that my install is good (for the Fuchs update): I should have two folders to download: 1- Principia-2020052218-Fuchs, and 2- principia fuchs for 1.9.1
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — Correct?ç
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — One is the mod, the other the binary?
<discord-> A​douge. — @Calvin_Maclure IIRC, you only need to unpack the GameData folder in the zip you can download from the main page of principia repository
<discord-> A​douge. — at least that works for me
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — So... is there no binary update for Fuchs? I'm not entirely sure I understand the download links on the forrum...
<discord-> l​pg. — you should only ever download one thing
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — Reason I mention this is that when I first installed it, there was something about Windows that needed to be done. Forget what exactly, think it had something to do with Visual Basics... anyways, that worked great and the Frobenius version has worked great since
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — So my understanding then is that to update to Fuchs, the only folder needed is the binary (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_rKXE1AIUSs3OakGfCjFOTPrY0FOeeAl/view) ?
<discord-> l​pg. — correct
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — hmm... ok! Thanks
<discord-> e​gg. — @Calvin_Maclure unless you tried building from source, Principia-lotsofdigits has never been a thing that you should download
<discord-> e​gg. — if you did download it without intending to build your own Principia, then you were confused
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — hmm... That makes total sense
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — I recall getting some sort of a prompt from Windows last time I installed it and ran the game. I had to do something with Window, install a VB pack of some sort
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — @egg does this ring a bell to you?
<discord-> e​gg. — no this has nothing with visual *Basic*. You are thinking of the Visual C++ redistributable runtime.
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — AH yes
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — that's it
<discord-> e​gg. — FAQ which you have read
<discord-> C​alvin_Maclure. — Yeah that's exactly it. And yes I did, just a few weeks back, though. Thanks! Memory is back on track now.
<discord-> A​douge. — Does the "hack gravity" trick mess with principia too much?
<discord-> A​douge. —
<discord-> A​douge. — i.e. if I use it too often to fix airlaunch attitude problem, it won't impact long-term stability of anything, correct?
<discord-> e​gg. — the only thing it affects is all loaded vessels
<discord-> e​gg. — (for that airlaunch thing the long-term solution would be for whatever implements that to mark the vessel as prelaunch before it is done being nudged)
<discord-> e​gg. — (for that airlaunch thing the long-term solution would be for whatever implements that to mark the vessel as prelaunch until it is done being nudged) (edited)

<discord-> R​am. — I just started trying to learn principia. I am in orbit now and see that the orbits are not parked anymore like without principia. Is it like that in real life? to have a satellite on a particular orbits requires that much constant correction? Is it caused by the moon?
<discord-> e​gg. — depends on the orbit
<discord-> e​gg. — what is your orbit?
<discord-> R​am. — I was expecting some differences but I was not expecting the orbits to be that unstable
<discord-> e​gg. — that is not instability
<raptop> Precession from the equatorial bulge?
<discord-> e​gg. — that is not understanding what you are looking at
<discord-> e​gg. — what is the reference frame
<discord-> R​am. — ok please show me
<discord-> e​gg. — what is the reference frame
<discord-> e​gg. — which reference frame have you selected to take this screenshot
<discord-> R​am. — I am not sure what you mean, I just opened the view with pressing M
<discord-> e​gg. — show the entire screen
<discord-> R​am. — I did not select a reference frame, so it must be default
<discord-> S​tonesmile. — I suggest reading https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/wiki/Concepts
<discord-> e​gg. — that is almost certainly ECEF
<discord-> e​gg. — so you are looking at a ground track
<raptop> askdjflsdakjgdsfjkla;
<discord-> R​am. — ha on the nav ball
<discord-> R​am. — ok ECI
<discord-> R​am. — shows what I am used to see
<discord-> e​gg. — ECEF shows you the orbit in ECEF
<discord-> e​gg. — like a ground track
<discord-> e​gg. — (but in 3d)
<discord-> R​am. — I will have to read up on that.
<discord-> R​am. — yea nice
<discord-> e​gg. — I strongly suggest reading the concepts page before diving in, if you rely on your knowledge of stock KSP you will be infinitely confused and frustrated
<discord-> R​am. — Now I see also that the pe and ap are indeed changing. is that caused by the moon? will my satellite fall eventually?
<discord-> R​am. — on the principia github?
<discord-> e​gg. — the moon is almost certainly irrelevant where you are
<discord-> e​gg. — the link given by @Stonesmile, yes
<raptop> Earth's gravity is nonspherical at ~10% IIRC
<discord-> e​gg. — yeah J2 is the main perturbator here
<discord-> R​am. — ok, so the pe and ap will fluctuate around a value but will not go out of control right?
<discord-> e​gg. — if you want to understand what your orbit is doing, use the orbit analysis tool
<raptop> (Not to be confused with the albums that are the main output of Perturbator)
<discord-> e​gg. — sometimes things will go out of control (e.g. some lunar orbits), sometimes they won't
<discord-> e​gg. — and you can read that off the analyser
<discord-> e​gg. — documentation for that: https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/wiki/Orbit-analysis
<raptop> Hrm. Fundamentals of Astrodynamics lists oblateness as ~0.1%
<discord-> R​am. — all right thanks guys, It is definitely exciting
<discord-> B​utcher. — Most earth orbits are stable enough to not have your probe fall to earth.
<discord-> B​utcher. — At least until @egg implements atmospheric drag...
<discord-> e​gg. — heh
<discord-> e​gg. — thankfully for users that would be a lot of work and our attention is elsewhere at the moment
<discord-> B​utcher. — No more 150 km orbits if you did though. Even 250km would be sketchy.
<discord-> B​utcher. — @egg Kerbal Wind (which applies forces through FAR) la be OK with principia right?
