egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <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…

<queqiao-> ⟨Cirelion⟩ Does principia affect flight pre-orbit at all? I can't seem to find a clear answer after googling
<queqiao-> ⟨Cirelion⟩ * pre-space
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ technically it does, but not in any way that's likely to matter or be noticeable
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ except you get pretty flight paths in map view
<queqiao-> ⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ I've only been using it for a couple days but spin stabilization in atmosphere was way less stable... the shorter the better I've noticed but other than that no
<queqiao-> ⟨lamont⟩ my dad's weird looking cat
<umbralraptop> I feel like we need someone to get a pet raccoon
<umbralraptop> off topic: Principia does affect spin stabilization, but in a way that should make it work better (apparently Unity by default does something wacky)
<queqiao-> ⟨Marsh⟩ Will a pet raccoon eat out of the food bowl or the trash bin
<umbralraptop> Obviously you should make the food bowl look like a trash bin
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ "better" in the sense of "more correctly", which isn't always convenient
<umbralraptop> Yeah, I wonder if they're running afoul of the Джанибеков effect
<queqiao-> ⟨Itspats (solid lv enthusiast)⟩ make #principia #cats(and principia)
<umbralraptop> (...though I guess as a diapsid, I should say afowl)
<queqiao-> ⟨Vlood⟩ ⟪Marsh⟫ Will a pet raccoon eat out of the food […] ⮪ yes
<queqiao-> ⟨lamont⟩ ⟪Cirelion⟫ Does principia affect flight pre-space […] ⮪ I thought that in-atmosphere was the regime of FAR and that Principia was hands-off, but I don't know how deep the euler-equation fix in Principia had to reach into the game engine.

<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ is the world meant to be tilted like this?
<queqiao-> ⟨Marsh⟩ Yes. It’s a matter of reference
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ how do i know principia is really working? i dont see any menu and it says "Orbit" or "Surface" on the nav
<queqiao-> ⟨Marsh⟩ Well that's not right
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ im in RP-1, is it natural to not see the principia stuff?
<queqiao-> ⟨Marsh⟩ It is not. You didn't install master or something like that?
<queqiao-> ⟨Kerbinator⟩ ⟪Sol⟫ is the world meant to be tilted like […] ⮪ weill if you hope non-principia RSS not tilted, you may look at my modification
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ this is what planets look like, is that stock?
<queqiao-> ⟨Kerbinator⟩ the price is: either bugs of tiltem, either loss of Earth tilt (which is a matter for Near-Earth players, but not that much for interplanetary players)
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ i just dont even know if principia is on or off
<queqiao-> ⟨Kerbinator⟩ probably off
<queqiao-> ⟨Marsh⟩ It is not working
<queqiao-> ⟨Marsh⟩ Principia isn't a part of the express install, btw. You have to install it manually
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ i did
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ it's in my gamedata folder
<queqiao-> ⟨Marsh⟩ 🤷‍♂️ You don't really turn it on or off. You can enable patched conics or hack gravity for certain reasons but it's always on
<queqiao-> ⟨Kalpyy⟩ ⟪Sol⟫ this is what planets look like, is that […] ⮪ There is something wrong with your install, It should not look like that with principia
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ where do i download it
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ the only link i see is for github
<queqiao-> ⟨Kalpyy⟩ I downloaded it through https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia#readme
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ it's possible norton may have nuked one of the files in it
<queqiao-> ⟨Sol⟩ ah yes that fixed it

<queqiao-> ⟨Cirelion⟩ ⟪lpg⟫ technically it does, but not in any way […] ⮪ Thanks for the explanation!
