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

Marsu. — It depends on what you want. It make the game really harder (for me at least) but it’s really rewarding when you managed to get something working. The first time i managed a direct ascent to the moon from Baikonour with it i was jumping in my room 🙂 the more i play with it the more i like it.
<discord-_>
Marsu. — But to be honest i think it’s easier if you already know RO / RP-1 very well. I learn both at the same time and it’s overwhelming sometime.
<discord-_>
Marsu. — Now i’m wondering about learning KOS too because i need more precise stuff but it’s a bit discouraging.
<discord-_>
Marsu. — Anyway Principia is in my mandatory list of addon now. I have managed to get a Venus flyby for the first time in sim yesterday. It’s so cool ! A big thank to Egg and Pleroy for this amazing mod even if i don’t understand everything 🙂

Anomaly. — What happened to the pfp?
<discord-_>
Anomaly. — Also yeah unless you are a worshipper of iterative design learning RO/RP-1/Principia at once isn't the best idea.
<discord-_>
Marsu. — What is the pfp ?
<discord-_>
Anomaly. — Profile pic
<discord-_>
Marsu. — ? I never had one
<discord-_>
Anomaly. — Might be confusing you with someone else then, sorry 😅

Zeusbeer. — @RocketMan any earth-venus-mercury flyby sequence is incredibly hard to pull off, good luck sir! You could try voyagers flight plan, it's much easier

Joco223. — Is there any easier way of doing roundevouz with principia other than eye balling it? I can't seem to find info on closes approach for example

Stonesmile. — If you select the target vessel as such, then you get a new reference frame in which you can see closest approach
<discord-_>
Joco223. — Huh, I have probably missed it then
<discord-_>
Stonesmile. — It replaces perigee in that frame i think
