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

Conventia. — I just use the colors to tell whether it's radial or normal... purple is binormal and blue is normal!

Zeusbeer. — With principia, can you orbit astroids now?
<discord->
Zeusbeer. — Or maybe when it comes out for 1.10 comets?

Zeusbeer. — also, is there a tutorial on interplanetary travelling? it's super wack to set up the manouvers
<discord->
Zeusbeer. — like not for duna, but for shitty planets like Dres
<discord->
Damien. — I recorded a few principia videos as examples for people but Duna was the interplanetary one I did so might not be much help https://youtu.be/XKje_ajRdx4
<discord->
Zeusbeer. — I guess it's not dres that's the problem, it's launching into the same plane as dres
<discord->
Damien. — you can either launch when kerbin and dres are at an opportune alignment, or do an inclination change at an/dn along the way
<discord->
Damien. — your inclination around kerbin is irrelevant when going interplanetary
<discord->
Damien. — except in as much as it makes it easier/harder to eject in the right direction
<discord->
Conventia. — Baikonur isn't really a problem if you have 20 mathematicians figuring out your launch windows for you.
<discord->
egg. — yeah a lot of the difficulty with Principia is that you typically don’t play with a team of a dozen people sorting out spacecraft operations business
<discord->
egg. — see stationkeeping etc.

DanieI. — is there a way to get lagrange point science with principia
Blu3wolf has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<discord->
Damien. — you can visit lagrange points, but no situation exists for specific science
<discord->
Damien. — Earth-Sun L1/2 are classed as solar orbit etc
<discord->
egg. — @Stonesmile so I installed making history, threw an mk2 with something attached into space, warped and dewarp, and I am unable to observe your issues
<discord->
Stonesmile. — In some cases there is only a slight "jump" and the attached part resets itself, i think the issue is more likely to happen with more parts attached, but unsure
<discord->
egg. — yeah I do see a sort of jump
<discord->
egg. — I saw that jump with another CoMoffseted part too
<discord->
egg. — can you try with a fancy jet engine as the root part
<discord->
egg. — a J57 or somesuch
<discord->
egg. — J-4X in stock I think
<discord->
Stonesmile. — Currently not on computer, out comet-warching

egg. — A fun activity in the absence of clouds
<discord->
egg. — did some myself a couple of days ago
<discord->
Stonesmile. — Yeah, i think it's too cloudy...
<discord->
Stonesmile. — I'll test with a engine tomorrow morning
<discord->
egg. — I’ll try shoving more stuff beneath the capsule in the meantime
<discord->
egg. — I think I understand what is going on, but my explanation would only make sense if the bug is not present in 2602 so that is very weird
<discord->
Stonesmile. — If it's CoM, then a part with CoM sliders would bug too right?
<discord->
egg. — yeah but my tentative explanation is « only the root part »
<discord->
Stonesmile. — Yep, i'll get to it first thing tomorrow
<discord->
egg. — (what is tomorrow)
<discord->
egg. — (what are timezones)
<discord->
Stonesmile. — Cest
<discord->
egg. — So by tomorrow you mean today, it’s past midnight :-p
