⟨byte⟩ Short question 🙂 - where principia stores vessel data ? My lander is spinnig out of contrll and it seems like constant torque is applied to it. but it also start spinning when loaded almost instantly and with constant RPM. Is it possible to have some bugged entry in Principia persistent data ?
<queqiao->
⟨byte⟩ Once hack gravity is used - vehicle is spinning indefinetely
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ Hack gravity makes principia ignore the craft.
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ Also if our was spinning when saved it will be spinning when loaded. And without anything applying torque it will stay at a constant rpm.

its working to an exent but i can either only get a low moon peri or a low earth peri, i cant get both like when i decrease one it increases the other
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ That's normal. You need to do a periselene burn if you want a closer pass.
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ ⟪Butcher⟫ That's normal. You need to do a […] ⮪ whats that?
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ Periselene is the nearest point to the moon.
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ You set that close, then burn there pull your perigee down.
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ ⟪Butcher⟫ Periselene is the nearest point to the […] ⮪ but doesnt your peri have to be lower so its the same height as your orbit
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ is there no video tutorial on this because i struggle to find one
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ If your periselene is low then your perigee will be high, but you can burn there to affect perigee. It's not strictly "free" then of course.
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ I'm not sure which orbit you mean.
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ basiacally when my earth peri is low my moon peri is high, when my moon peri is low my earth peri is high
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ i cant find a sweeet spot or how to get both low
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ like i want bot of them to be like 30km
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ ⟪Butcher⟫ If your periselene is low then your […] ⮪ but right now iether one is 30km or one is 5,000,000<
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ You can't get both low without using extra fuel at the moon end of things. If that's not possible then you're a bit stuck.
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ ⟪Butcher⟫ You can't get both low without using […] ⮪ im legit just tryna recreate the moon landing
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ so what im guessing the plan is is that :
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ ⟪Butcher⟫ You can't get both low without using […] ⮪ i make the manoever and when im at the moon peri i do a circularize burn then i do a secondary circularize to get into alower orbit?
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ Apollo missions aimed for 111km periselene and captured directly into low orbit.
