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-> ⟨wordlessstump⟩ how can i add new celestial bodies to principia
<queqiao-> ⟨issproxima⟩ How do I find a suitable lunar launch window with principia
<queqiao-> ⟨issproxima⟩ The lunar transfer planner gives false information
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ Have you rather considered the possibility that you're simply misinterpreting what it's telling you?
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ ⟪wordlessstump⟫ how can i add new celestial bodies to […] ⮪ Unless you want to be fancy, the same as you would with stock (_via_ Kopernicus). But you'll need to start a new game for them to appear.
<queqiao-> ⟨issproxima⟩ The lunar transfer helper says im in the right window, while Im definately now

<queqiao-> ⟨lpg4999⟩ which part of that screenshot do you think shows that?
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ ...how exactly did you come to that conclusion? Please don't say by 👁️.
<queqiao-> (Please review the diagram pinned in this channel as to the geometry of a lunar transfer.)
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ (...hm. I should make a proper Blender version of that image.)
<queqiao-> ⟨issproxima⟩ ⟪lpg4999⟫ which part of that screenshot do you […] ⮪ I usually launch for the moon at the lowest relative inclination
<queqiao-> ⟨issproxima⟩ At least without principia I did
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ That's... not how that works IRL, and hence how it works with Principia.
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ That's... not how that works IRL, and hence not how it works with Principia. Again, please review that diagram.
<queqiao-> ⟨issproxima⟩ But there's no way I can launch for the moon at the time period it gives me
<queqiao-> ⟨issproxima⟩ perhaps there's something to do with KSCSwitcher?
<queqiao-> ⟨issproxima⟩ * KSCSwicher?
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ ...have you tried, say, lauching at the proposed window and seeing if you're able to tranfer, rather than conjecturing based on an evidently false impression of how a lunar transfer is carried out?
<queqiao-> ⟨issproxima⟩ ⟪Al₂Me₆⟫ ...have you tried, say, lauching at the […] ⮪ I have

<queqiao-> ⟨yaboiant⟩ is there a reason this is in space? a new planet perhaps
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ That is a bug; apologies. It will be fixed in the next release.
<queqiao-> ⟨yaboiant⟩ ⟪Al₂Me₆⟫ That is a bug; apologies. It will be […] ⮪ cool, no worries i honestly thinks its funny
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ I do think there's a similar bug with stock EVA construction 😅
<queqiao-> ⟨yaboiant⟩ this is random but i just realized it... should my sun be thorwing a flare or something? it looks different

<queqiao-> ⟨ariman86⟩ you can't target celestials in principia, right?
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ It’s under “KSP features”
<queqiao-> ⟨ariman86⟩ thank god, I was getting desperate trying to plan interplanetary transfer by hand
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ How does targeting celestials help in planning interplanetary transfers 🤔
<queqiao-> ⟨ariman86⟩ ⟪test_account9540⟫ How does targeting celestials help in […] ⮪ Bruteforce with mj
<queqiao-> ⟨ariman86⟩ (it did not work out)
<queqiao-> ⟨ariman86⟩ any advise on planning interplanetary transfers? TWP does not seem to give very accurate info
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ TWP info is 99% accurate
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ parking orbit is typically not accurate, due to not launching to inclination and LAN suggested by TWP
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ so the advice is launch to inclination and LAN suggested by TWP, using MJ launch to LAN, on the day suggested by TWP, and that will put you in the correct parking orbit
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ after that plot a maneuver in principia with dV roughly equal to what TWP suggests (a little bit more usually) and you will hit the planet without much difficulty
