egg changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Гельфонд. 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

Ashnoom. — Would it be possible for some smart person who has done this before to add a few images, just like is done for 'going to the mun' tutorial?

Delta II. — I'm struggling to plot a flight plan maneuver to the moon, any tips?
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — it looks like it, yeah. view that in moon centred inertial or moon centered earth fixed
<discord->
Delta II. — i got it
<discord->
Delta II. — i have a moon trajectorie
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — you generally pick the frame based on the part of the trajectory you're playing with. to see your moon flyby you use MCI, to see the bit between earth and moon you used MCEF, etc

Damien (it/that). — using the 'wrong' frame can make things look really weird
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — looking at the solar system in SCI looks normal. looking at it in ECI looks messed up
<discord->
Delta II. — im burning now

Delta II. — welp, i messed up somewhere
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — don't use that. use the countdown in the principia flight planner window
<discord->
Delta II. — should i still use the stock thing for orientation?
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — what stock thing?
<discord->
Delta II. — like the stock maneuver node
<discord->
Delta II. — for orientating
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — you mean on the navball?
<discord->
Delta II. — yes
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — yes
<discord->
Delta II. — ok
<discord->
Delta II. — but use principia burn time?
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — yes because principia models changing mass during burn, and also the duration of the burn. stock assume 100% of DV is applied at the exact instant of the node. that's why in stock you generally split it (start 30s before node for a 1m burn)

Delta II. — yeah
<discord->
Delta II. — how will i know whne to shutdown?
<discord->
Delta II. — how will i know when to shutdown? (edited)
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — countdown is zero, or to be more precise, watch your trajectory line vs your flight plan line
<discord->
Delta II. — ok
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — it will never be 100% perfect because of spool up time, human inaccuracy etc
<discord->
Delta II. — 30 seconds till ignition
<discord->
Delta II. — yeah
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — correction burns are common, and realistic
<discord->
Delta II. — ignition
<discord->
Delta II. — i will let you know how it goes
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — cool but to avoid the wrath of the mods, do it in one go rather than in several comments
<discord->
Delta II. — yeah i will
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — techncially mission reports go in #missionreports and #missionreports-chat but rules are lax in this channel
<discord->
Delta II. — will 4x timewarp mess it up?
<discord->
Damien (it/that). — I'd avoid it personally but it shouldn 't

Marsh. — Depends on how fast your computer is. Generally I don’t warp any burns
<discord->
Delta II. — **my soul has left the chat since this is a 10 minute TLI burn**
<discord->
Marsh. — Oh wow. You’re going to incur a lot of losses
<discord->
Delta II. — this stage is only for TLI so idc
<discord->
Delta II. — the spacecraf thas its own propellant and engine
<discord->
Butcher. — I normally do 2x for burns.
<discord->
Butcher. — Or just leave them running at 1x if I'm not in a hurry.

Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they). — Delta-V losses are not directly proportional to burn length, but rather directly proportional to proportion of the orbit which is traveled during the burn
<discord->
lamont. — path integral of the gravitational curvature or something-something along those lines.
<discord->
lamont. — kerbin being like 1,000x higher density than the earth warps space more
<discord->
lamont. — earth is easy-mode for guidance algorithms compared to kerbin
