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

rengress. — Hey quick question, so principia simulates sun synchronous orbits through precession right? I'm wondering if the effect stays over time when you switch away from the vessel
<discord->
rengress. — because if you look here, I have an orbit that precesses right and it is over the day/night terminator
<discord->
rengress. — But when I came back from playing another mission, it had significantly drifted away from that point?
<discord->
rengress. — Is it an accumulation of errors/drift?

Al2Me6. — SSO depends on Earth's geopotential model - it's not going to work on Kerbin.
<discord->
egg. — Yeah what we are seeing in @rengress’s screenshots isn’t the nodal precession of the orbit, it is the rotation of the planet ; that’s in KCKF assuming that this is Kerbin
<discord->
Skylar. — Yeah, esp since this is RO discord xD
<discord->
Damien. — This channel is a bit of a solar system agnostic zone but yeah it gets confusing sometimes

[Principia] eggrobin opened pull request #2798: Factor out the OrbitAnalyser::Analysis to OrbitAnalysis conversion - https://git.io/JkHjg
<discord->
egg. — What do you mean by « accurately » ? Kerbin is not the Earth, things are not going to behave as if it were ; in particular Kerbin is not oblate
<discord->
egg. — as the analyser tells you, your orbit does not precess (note the 0°.00 per Kerbin day for nodal precession)
<discord->
rengress. — Yup, just saw that
<discord->
rengress. — So is there a way to make it sun synchronous in stock
<discord->
egg. — nope, because Kerbin is not oblate
<discord->
rengress. — thanks for teaching me btw
<discord->
egg. — you could patch things so Kerbin is oblate
<discord->
rengress. — Right, because precession is due to the uneven summation of g across the orbit
<discord->
rengress. — ooooooooooh
<discord->
egg. — there is an MM patch for that somewhere far in the backlog
<discord->
rengress. — perhaps pinning it might be helpful? Because it has been asked for a grand total of 4 times with the word "oblate"
<discord->
rengress. — Thank you so much tho, I appreciate the fact that you're patient enough to teach
<discord->
rengress. — I mentioned you to a friend who runs a space company btw
<discord->
egg. — as @Damien puts it, every day is a school day here :-p
<discord->
rengress. — lol you're a good teacher

FabioKevin. — Hey, what was the button which showed the stock manuever node completion bar? Asking because I cannot find it in principia in my JNSQ save
<discord->
egg. — **Important notice**: there is a bug in Fáry which makes manoeuvres run away from you as time passes. As a workaround, set the history length to something long. https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/issues/2154 (edited)
