<queqiao-> ⟨cloach⟩ Does anyone know of any mods that make Kerbin + the other plants of the default game system oblate? so you can set up some sun synchronous orbits etc with principia. As I understand you can do this kind of thing with RSS but I'd prefer of keep the Kerbals in their natural habitat as it were.
<paculino> Sigma dimensions might allow scaling only certain axises? Retrograde Bop might not be the only stability requirement to include then, however, even if this works.
<queqiao-> ⟨steinsgate0000⟩ hello ppl principia is so hard😭
<queqiao-> ⟨kingparity⟩ i was super confused for a while but honestly i found it easier once i got the hang of it
<queqiao-> ⟨aebestach⟩ Does kerbin have a sun-synchronous orbit?
<raptop> No, you need an equatorial bulge.
<queqiao-> ⟨aebestach⟩ thanks
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ ⟪cloach⟫ Does anyone know of any mods that make […] ⮪ Yeah there's a principal config for stock kerbin that gives it oblateness, mascons etc
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ * principia
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ Not sure exactly where but it'll be on the principia wiki somewhere
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ aebestach @_whitenotifier-1adf see above

<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ egg?
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ ⟪steinsgate0000⟫ hello ppl principia is so hard😭 ⮪ It is. But like a lot of things, it's only fun when it gets hard
<queqiao-> ⟨steinsgate0000⟩ ⟪Damien⟫ It is. But like a lot of things, it's […] ⮪ fr but I have no idea on how to optimize my flight plans with principia
<queqiao-> Like everything is totally different from stock’s 2-body
<queqiao-> ⟨steinsgate0000⟩ I am now struggling with the different references frames
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ ⟪steinsgate0000⟫ I am now struggling with the different […] ⮪ That's the main thing to get a hang of
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ It makes a lot more sense then
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ Read the wiki
<queqiao-> ⟨cloach⟩ Okay thanks I'll have a ferret around see if I can find it.
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ Yeah there's a principia config for stock kerbin that gives it oblateness etc

<queqiao-> Is it likely someone has such a config file I could steal? Kinda looks like most ppl using principia are also using RSS so I won't hope too much.
<queqiao-> Still I'm prepared to wait a little while before I bestir myself to non-laziness.
<queqiao-> ⟨cloach⟩ * looks
<queqiao-> ⟨nazfib⟩ Yes; egg linked to such a config file earlier
<queqiao-> ⟨cloach⟩ Ahh my bad I didn't see that.
<queqiao-> ⟨cloach⟩ Thanks.
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ One dimensional might work I think. How […] ⮪ Tried to literally use the algorithm manually for a Venus mission. It worked, although adjusting dV 1m/s looks a bit too granular, but surely the approach can be improved further.

<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ Here TWP ejection dV is 4062 and an impact trajectory was found with 4120.
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ * 4120, varying only prograde dV (in 1m/s steps) and time (precisely).
<queqiao-> ⟨clayel⟩ lifting re-entry usually only prolongs your entry by a few hundred km, going for a stretch in the pacific ocean should be fine (i mean, not even in irl do we get perfect predicted landing spots, but instead a line of where a capsule is likely to come down)
