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

Miksu. — which one do i download for 1.8.1
<discord->
[experimentalshells?]. — latest release Гельфанд is compatible with 1.8+

Damien. — for each body you also have various frames that do different things. a geostationary sat's orbit around earth looks like a circle when viewed in an earth centred inertial (everything including earth spins around an imaginary point at the centre of earth) frame. switch to earth centred surface fixed (earth doesn't spin in this frame) and that geosat orbit looks appears to wobble in place over the su
