<queqiao-> ⟨stone⟩ Does anyone know how to solve the problem where the maneuver delta v bar to the left of the navball doesn't change as you burn?
<queqiao-> ⟨stone⟩ When I perform my burn, the indicator does not change at all
<queqiao-> ⟨stone⟩ I'm still able to get to my destinations, just that it makes performing accurate burns more difficult.
<queqiao-> ⟨Al2Me6⟩ That is intended behavior; either watch the timer in the Principia window or eyeball the trajectory.
<queqiao-> ⟨lamont⟩ le faq
<queqiao-> ⟨stone⟩ aight thanks bro
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ or just push the not-quite-new-but-now-improved "execute principia maneuver" MJ button (there's been a release with the improvements I think?)
<queqiao-> ⟨lamont⟩ it is certainly in the dev
<queqiao-> ⟨stone⟩ bro i love principia

<queqiao-> ⟨Builderbast 🇺🇦⟩ im trying to get principia to use the engine that currently active, but it is assuming a burntime of around 4 minutes, even though the entire stage only burns for 80 seconds
<queqiao-> ⟨Transparent_Elemental⟩ is it a solid rocket motor?
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ not if it's "currently active" it isn't
<queqiao-> ⟨Builderbast 🇺🇦⟩ its an rd58, and I clicked use active engines
<queqiao-> ⟨Quadrupole⟩ You need to activate the engine you want to use.
<queqiao-> ⟨Quadrupole⟩ I.e., seeing the green bar next to staging queue
<queqiao-> ⟨Builderbast 🇺🇦⟩ ⟪Quadrupole⟫ I.e., seeing the green bar next to […] ⮪ indeed
<queqiao-> ⟨Transparent_Elemental⟩ ⟪lpg⟫ not if it's "currently active" it isn't ⮪ well it depends on what exactly is meant by currently active
<queqiao-> ⟨Transparent_Elemental⟩ because I myself once incorrectly interpreted it and didn't know about the green bar thing
<queqiao-> ⟨Transparent_Elemental⟩ and the point is that you can't safely make SRB "active" without firing it (at least for most of them)
<queqiao-> ⟨Builderbast 🇺🇦⟩ true, srb's is a whole other can of worms in principia haha
<queqiao-> ⟨Builderbast 🇺🇦⟩ I could rebase it and see if that works
<queqiao-> ⟨Builderbast 🇺🇦⟩ aight that worked, I rebased, and then went to active rcs and back to active engines
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ created the flight plan before decoupling some mass?
<queqiao-> ⟨Builderbast 🇺🇦⟩ yup, that was it
<queqiao-> ⟨JustLyra⟩ Hi, what is wrong with you people? I just installed principia for the first time. Why did we do this to ourselves?
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ see channel topic
<queqiao-> ⟨JustLyra⟩ Oh
<queqiao-> ⟨JustLyra⟩ Yeah, sounds about right.
<queqiao-> ⟨Quadrupole⟩ 🎩
<queqiao-> ⟨Soviet Onion⟩ but principia good
<queqiao-> ⟨Soviet Onion⟩ it very nice
<queqiao-> ⟨Soviet Onion⟩ noodles time !
<queqiao-> ⟨pEdro⟩ hmm ? you dont like your orbits to look like modern art installations ?
<queqiao-> ⟨pEdro⟩ * a modern art installation
<queqiao-> ⟨pEdro⟩ ellipses are boring anyway
<queqiao-> ⟨pEdro⟩ embrace the 🍜
<raptop> …
<queqiao-> ⟨n9gaming⟩ ⟪JustLyra⟫ Yeah, sounds about right. ⮪ Welcome! We don't have cookies but some of us have cats
<raptop> I mean, of course we do. Cats are like comets
<paculino> The resemblance is obvious
<raptop> An excellent ragdall
<raptop> *ragdoll
<queqiao-> ⟨JustLyra⟩ Cats!
<queqiao-> But I do have a hopefully quick question. I'm in the Kerbol system, and partway through my game after about two or three Kerbin days, I got a notice saying Laythe impacted something and an apocalypse occurred. How do I fix this?
<raptop> That suggests something questionable with respect to the install. The default Kerbol system (especially around Jool) has serious instabilities, so Principia *should* be substituting in a fixed one (notable features include retrobop)
<queqiao-> ⟨JustLyra⟩ Yeah, I had read about that
<queqiao-> ⟨JustLyra⟩ Maybe Kopernicus is interfering somehow?
<raptop> That sounds very likely
<raptop> Using systems beyond Principia Certified Kerbol(tm) or RSS/RO is not recommended without first checking long term stabbity in your favorite n-body simulator
<raptop> (this is where I shill for MERCURY6, even though it's incredibly annoying in terms of moons)
<queqiao-> ⟨JustLyra⟩ I'm in the stock system, but Kopernicus might've taken over and reverted the changes to Jool?
<raptop> quite possibly
<queqiao-> ⟨JustLyra⟩ For some reason a lot of things depend on it that don't actually do anything to edit the system lol
<queqiao-> ⟨JustLyra⟩ +orbital mechanics of
<queqiao-> ⟨Al2Me6⟩ Do you have Parallax?
