⟨Chad Lancer⟩ Even using a RCS mid course correction burn doesnt really work
<queqiao-_>
⟨lpg⟩ one obvious thing you may be overlooking is that engines don't reach 100% thrust instantly, and princpia's flight plans don't reflect that
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ But even then, I burnt the extra, but its nowhere near it
<queqiao-_>
⟨lpg⟩ burning at the wrong time isn't going to get the right result
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ But I'm not burning at the wrong time
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ I give it the time to spool up.
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ Pressed Z about 2 seconds to when you're to start the burn.
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ Fired up pretty much right on time
<queqiao-_>
⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ Set up a maneuver for a correction burn
<queqiao-_>
⟨lpg⟩ ok, then that's not the problem
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ I'm using RCS so it's not letting me, at least I think thats the reason, it's not showing me the sliders.
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ I can only change when it fires
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ but cant change why it fires
<queqiao-_>
⟨lpg⟩ that doesn't sound right
<queqiao-_>
⟨lpg⟩ principia is actually quite good at doing flight plans with rcs
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ Is there a better reference frame than MCMF?
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ for some reason the sun has decided to disappear, leaving everything in darkness
<queqiao-_>
⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ That sounds like a non-principia bug
<queqiao-_>
⟨Chad Lancer⟩ Yeah I know
<queqiao-_>
⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ A quick partial work around would be to go into the cheat menu and show biomes
<queqiao-_>
⟨lpg⟩ sorry, I meant for the TLI maneuver. for course correction any frame might be better than any other frame depending on what the correction needs to be (since all it does is change which direction points where)
