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…

⟨sichelgaita⟩ For the longest time, the authors of RSS Origin were using a 3-year old bootlegged version of Principia (maybe they still do). That doesn't help.

⟨jonpc042⟩ I've been having this problem where principia maneuvers will become "in the past" while I'm part way through the burn, causing mechjeb guidance to flip out. Any way to fix or prevent this?
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ Not a principia issue. This happens specifically in RO due to engines having variance
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ But tbh I don't know how to fix MJ doing that...
<queqiao->
⟨jonpc042⟩ Also, principia maneuvers don't "burn down" like in stock, is that expected? How am I meant to execute the maneuvers, I've just been eyeballing the cutoff in the map screen but that feels a little too manual...
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ MJ is supposed to execute them well... If you're not using dev version of MJ, maybe it's fixed there?
<queqiao->
⟨jonpc042⟩ I actually did switch to dev, but come to think of it I haven't actually tried having mechjeb execute the maneuvers since then
<queqiao->
⟨jonpc042⟩ * then, I'll give that a shot
<queqiao->
⟨jonpc042⟩ Is there any way to reduce the map screen lag with principia? It's only in the map screen while controlling a vessel
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ Uncheck options in the main principia window that say "declutter something"
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ +(or check them? anyway use them)
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ Decrease history length, preferably to 0 if you don't really need it
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ Don't make flight plans longer than necessary, especially in low oribt
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ * orbit
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ Increase the default tolerance value in flight plan options, 1m precision is not necessary, 10 is fine
<queqiao->
⟨jonpc042⟩ I'll try these fixes, thanks!

⟨ezsnack⟩ where is that lol
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ it's just the tolerance value in flight plan window, default is 1, changing it to 10 improves performance
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ can't change the default value though (maybe the previous message was badly worded)
<queqiao->
⟨ezsnack⟩ yea i thought you could do that
<queqiao->
⟨ezsnack⟩ +from your words :v
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ Increase the ~default~tolerance value in flight plan options, 1m precision is not necessary, 10 is fine
