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->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ i dont know if this has to do with principia but i cant figure out why pvg is launching the way it is rn... im trying to launch into plane of the moon which ive set as target
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ but its saying i need atleast 1000dv more than i normally would
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ ive tested the rocket it can easily get orbit but it looks like its trying to change inc by like 8 degrees
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Are you, perchance, in Florida?
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ yes
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ i know theres sum i gotta do different since im there
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ i just dont know
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Well, Florida man, you cannot launch into the plane of the moon.
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ ahh ok cool
<raptop>
Or, you can. Rarely
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ so either launch in a very small window or launch as close as i can and correct in my tli
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ ?
<raptop>
But standard advice is to relocate to Korou or Sriharikota. Or just do off-planet intercepts
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ _Florida Man Waits 18 Years for Lunar Launch Window_
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ In Florida, you further North than the moon goes, except for a short while every 18 years. So you either do off-plane intercepts (which is either hard or requires a tool made by Butcher), or move south.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ +are
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ whats that tool?
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ Lunar Transfer Planner
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ (amongst other options)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (As raptop wrote, if you do move south, among the stock launch sites Kourou and Sriharikota are close enough to the equator)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ +only
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ ⟪lpg⟫ (amongst other options) ⮪ ima try that one is there another you recommend?
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ the others are kOS scripts you probably don't want to get into
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ ah yes thank you no thanks
<paculino>
You can download some very good ones from GitHub and use those.
<paculino>
Butcher has a very good one iirc
<queqiao->
⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ ive been looking for butchers do you have a link?
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ butchers has _both_ fancy kOS scripts and the Lunar Transfer Planner _mod_ on ckan
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ * butcher
<raptop>
💭Does Butcher prepare porkchop plots?
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ are porkchop plots a thing for TLI?
<raptop>
You could totally generate ones from a parking orbit, but the timescale would be amusingly short
<queqiao->
⟨Marsh⟩ ⟪egg⟫ Well, Florida man, you cannot launch […] ⮪ We need a Florida Man emoji 🤔
<raptop>
Could do a florida flag custum emoji easily enough
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ technically that is even already encoded, though not RGI 🏴
<paculino>
Average the mugshots of the top ten Florida man headlines, or just get a flag? 🤔
<queqiao->
⟨Serina⟩ ⟪egg⟫ In Florida, you are further North than […] ⮪ You're leaving out brute forcing or correcting the inclination but _shrug_
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ those deserve to be left out
<raptop>
Doing a dog-leg during ascent or a big plane change after orbiting is silly. Hence the suggestions of pan, curry, or off-plane intercepts
<queqiao->
⟨Sumguy⟩ Does anyone else think about Dorf on Golf when dog-legs come up?
<queqiao->
⟨BLT Sandwich⟩ okay, it's time for me to wonder into the crazy world that is principia again... hopefully nothing breaks
<queqiao->
⟨BLT Sandwich⟩ * principia, again¹... hopefully nothing breaks (¹never done it with rss, but i did it briefly with jnsq)
<queqiao->
⟨BLT Sandwich⟩ * (¹ never
<queqiao->
⟨BLT Sandwich⟩ * again... hopefully nothing breaks (never done it in rss,
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ ⟪raptop⟫ 💭Does Butcher prepare porkchop plots? ⮪ The cats ate the pork chops.
<queqiao->
⟨BLT Sandwich⟩ okay the fact that i have 2 bits of debris in orbit... and it's causing a bunch of my lag problems rn, is sad

⟨DRVeyl⟩ 6M maximum warp might be a bad expectation.
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ Kerbalism breaks down anyway at warp above 100k, so why care about higher warp speeds
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ I just managed my first lunar impact with Principia, I ended getting alot of help by searching through this channel so thanks for the indirect help!
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ On a side-note, is the flickering of all the lines in the map view normal?
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ No
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ Amazing, so I've been torturing my eyes for no reason, is this a known issue?
<queqiao->
⟨sichelgaita⟩ No.
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ What type of info do you need to identify the issue? I have no idea where to even start haha
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ If you have any visual mod that does TAA, turn that off.
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ (Notably, Scatterer.)
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ Allright, I'll try that
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ CKAN doesn't seem to let me uninstall Scatterer without removing a ton of RO mods.. I'm guessing it's integrated into RP1, is there any way to disable the mod itself?
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ No; I'm not saying to uninstall Scatterer. Open its settings from the KSC and disable TAA there.
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ Ahh my bad
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ +(blue orb)
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ Yep, that seemed to have fixed it. Thanks!
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ Going to try for my first mars window tomorrow, would going through the regular prinicipia interplanetary wiki page be worthwhile? Or am I better off searching for RSS specific?
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ it's worthwhile mainly to get familiar with the interface, but not as a guide how to do interplanetary missions in RSS
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ that guide doesn't mention TWP, which is absolutely necessary
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ Do you have any good sources for me to check?
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ I'm not aware of any
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ You need to use TWP, find out the correct LAN and inclination for your window and launch to that parking orbit
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ From there, it should be quite easy to find the maneuver- usually it will be prograde with very little other components and dV similar to what TWP shows
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ Right, that should be pretty straightforward
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ I'll give an update tomorrow, thanks!
