raptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Galileo. 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

Butcher. — How does one plan a rendezvous in principia?
<discord-_>
Damien. — when I do it, I match plane, phase relatively close using the Mk.1 eyeball then use the loops
<discord-_>
Damien. — depends what you mean by 'plan'
<discord-_>
Butcher. — I was hoping there was some way to see proximity using the flight planner, but it seems not.
<discord-_>
Butcher. — I'm about 0.25 degrees out on the plane, is that close enough?
<discord-_>
Damien. — you could have an intercept even if the orbits were 90° off from each other but it's just be a lot harder

Damien. — you could have an intercept even if the orbits were 90° off from each other but it'd just be a lot harder (edited)
<discord-_>
Damien. — if you can get that to 0 it'll give you more flexibility
<discord-_>
Myshiko. — Close enough
<discord-_>
Damien. — here's a video I made when I was making a little tutorial series for principia https://youtu.be/ofCrS9n2Mu0

Damien. — once you've got a decent enough phasing orbit you can just push the orbit loops around until you get it close to the target

Conventia. — The key to rendevzous with principia is knowing that you have to switch to the target in the navball for the reference frame to be correct.
<discord-_>
Conventia. — Once I did that, it was just another trial and error, learning experience.

Butcher. — The issue was trying to get a reasonable phasing orbit, the target view doesn;t show orbital lines.

gravShark. — wondering if this is a purple noodle issue. When doing rendezvous and having a target selected, as I approach the target and its within 100m, 50m, etc it doesn't show the reticle marker over the target. is that intended?
