<queqiao-> ⟨TheSquirrelPatrol⟩ Sharing a video I just finished, in my opinion a nice little tutorial on how to do a rendezvous and docking in Principia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC0mN-PwJic
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ Flickering Earth with the new TUFX. I reverted to previous version of TUFX because of it 😬
<queqiao-> ⟨TheSquirrelPatrol⟩ I had asked earlier if anyone knew what caused that and didnt get an answer
<queqiao-> ⟨TheSquirrelPatrol⟩ Now to see if I can remember how to make CKAN revert a version...

<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ ⟪TheSquirrelPatrol⟫ Sharing a video I just finished, in my […] ⮪ I see you are selecting digits to adjust them, presumably typing; did you know you can scroll a digit to increment/decrement it?
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ +over
<queqiao-> ⟨siimav⟩ Clearly you need to add PrinClippy!
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ a paperclip made from noodles?
<queqiao-> ⟨siimav⟩ Yes!
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ I see you are selecting digits to […] ⮪ you can also put your cursor in the field and use the up/down arrows
<queqiao-> ⟨Sumguy⟩ ⟪siimav⟫ Clearly you need to add PrinClippy! ⮪ Better idea
<queqiao-> ⟨Proton | Mod.ROTanks Protester⟩ so how do I spell "Principia"? Is it 'Prin-ce-*pee*-a' or '*Prin*-ce-pee-a'?
<paculino> /prɪnˈsɪpiə/ and /prɪnˈkɪpiə/ are most common for Newton's Principia.
<queqiao-> ⟨Milly⟩ I tend to pronounce it Prin-*sip*-ee-a
<queqiao-> ⟨Stupidisco⟩ Prinzippia
<queqiao-> ⟨TheSquirrelPatrol⟩ ⟪egg⟫ you can also put your cursor in the […] ⮪ Yes, I love that, and use it a lot for the much longer maneuvers that need that level of precision, like a Jovian transfer.
<queqiao-> ⟨sichelgaita⟩ /pʁɛ̃sipja/🇫🇷
<queqiao-> ⟨sichelgaita⟩ Stupid bot cannot tell IPA from Zalgo.
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ oh, that is obnoxious
<queqiao-> ⟨siimav⟩ ⟪MEE6⟫ **Reason:** Zalgo usage ⮪ /pʁɛ̃sipja/🇫🇷
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ which is really weird, given that there is only one combining mark there
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ It should work now
<queqiao-> ⟨Cirelion⟩ I've been playing around with the flight planner and maybe it's me but it feel super unintuitive. Like I want to raise my Pe I need to manually check how long it takes for me to reach my Ap then type in the exact minute and seconds in order to time the burn properly.
<queqiao-> ⟨Marsh⟩ You can just use the slider to put the burn node in the correct location. It doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect. After adding some delta v you can slide the node around for a perfect orbit.
<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ I normally slide the node such that the resulting orbit is what I want target than trying to nail the start to exactly on the pe.
<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ * to get
<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ * rather
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ putting the maneuver _start_ on exactly the Pe is probably the wrong thing to do, anyway. it isn't equivalent to putting stock maneuvers exactly on the Pe
