raptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Gateaux. We currently target 1.8.1, 1.9.1, and 1.10.1. <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-> A​gustinCaniglia. — Hello
<discord-> A​gustinCaniglia. — Could principia shouw where on the celestial body you would hit in your trajectory?
<discord-> [​experimentalshells?]. — I think you can do that with Trajectories mod
<discord-> [​experimentalshells?]. — (can you? never bothered to check)
<discord-> A​gustinCaniglia. — oh, it is compatible
<discord-> A​gustinCaniglia. — great

<discord-> B​utcher. — > or wait a few days for the next one
<discord-> B​utcher. — @lpg An option, but having principia occasionally kill KSP is annoying.

<discord-> e​gg. — @AgustinCaniglia you can use the body surface frame
<discord-> e​gg. — @AgustinCaniglia The trajectories mod will give you inaccurate (stock) trajectories, do not use that
<discord-> e​gg. — Cc @experimentalshells ↑

<discord-> [​experimentalshells?]. — but I'm pretty sure Trajectories accounts for atmospheric drag

<discord-> S​tonesmile. — Drag depends on rotation of the craft, so quite hard to give a good prediction
Blu3wolf has joined #principia
<discord-> [​experimentalshells?]. — I believe that Trajectories only models drag for a craft oriented in tangent directions and doesn't evaluate for staging (and even then, has a precision of thousands of metres)
<discord-> [​experimentalshells?]. — And of course (as egg mentioned) it runs on stock Keplerian orbits
<discord-> W​arriorSabe. — It models drag based on the specific angle you give it to use, and assumes that it remains as it is currently
<discord-> W​arriorSabe. — And also uses the stock 1.5-body physics
<discord-> M​iksu. — what is principia?
<discord-> D​amien. — it's a mod that replaces KSP's 2 body physics with n-body physics
<discord-> D​amien. — this video uses a very old version of it but it's a good intro https://youtu.be/eU-kLLeE7n0
<discord-> D​amien. — ksp doesn't model things like lagrange points and non-spherical planets so you can't recreate missions like <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Space_Climate_Observatory> and interesting orbits like <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun-synchronous_orbit>
<discord-> D​amien. — with principia, you can
<discord-> M​iksu. — cool
<discord-> D​amien. — it's got a bit of a learning curve with respect to the UI but it's very rewarding once you get the hang of it
