Ya.. umm.. little twin rotor heli, named it Pony cuz I couldn't think of anything else to call it [08:06:06] kind of looks a bit like a kerbal version of some flier from Halo [08:06:43] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:14:56] JVFoxy, nice :) [08:25:04] airplane+ and one of the fly-by-wire autopilot things. [08:29:39] Pics? [08:32:23] oh eh.. it'll take me a bit [08:39:31] hah, starlink launch moved to thrusday. which means i can watch it easily, since i will be in home office [08:47:12] https://imgur.com/a/P6uQ7cC [08:49:00] Mostly_Deddly [08:52:25] JVFoxy hey nice job! Do they rotate forward for level flight? [08:55:52] Deddly no.. static, but it still flies ok. I tried the osprey versions of the rotating ones, but they proved a bit of a hassle to work with. I can't limit how far forwards they go, just the vertical mode. Plus they have a mind of their own when it comes to which orientation they are based on where they are from CoM :\ [08:56:50] I thought maybe I'd use the little turbine cat engines but they don't provide enough lift when sitting still. [08:59:05] Ah ok. Still a nice result. Helicopters aren't very easy [09:02:35] I'm alright with them.. KSP tends to be a bit sensitive when it comes to flight surfaces though. It be nice to have a way to manually set control surfaces or wings to a certain angle and leave it, but still be able to adjust them. Ya, I know, robotics [10:10:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:39:33] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28v9dnP65Mw Another Kraken drive! [13:42:45] sadly easy to fix. [14:04:56] that's a proper Münchhausen Drive - pull yourself to orbit by your own docking hair [14:09:45] sandly the docking force can't be mapped to the throttle axis [14:09:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:16:04] Can't? That's really sad. [14:16:28] :) [14:16:32] But it works for groups, so you can control eight at a time [14:16:38] with the slider [14:16:42] that's something at least [14:17:02] it should be possible to write a simple script as well for that ;) [14:23:29] chanlog [14:39:28] damn, you did it all [14:39:30] im not sure I remember my password [14:39:34] and I lost interest in ksp since at least a year tbh [14:43:23] anti-gravity brought you back? [14:45:37] Can it go FTL? [14:50:00] what happens if you put one on both ends? [15:05:25] Fluburtur, Aaw. It would be great if you can change it, otherwise, I suppose you could give me permission to use my evil mod powers to edit your post, but it wouldn't feel quite the same :P [15:06:22] Woot [15:06:27] evil mod powers? Wanna have! [15:07:48] with great power comes great responsibility :) [15:08:46] I'm totally irresponsible and you should give me power! [15:09:13] every politician ever :) [15:09:28] when is the hop? [15:10:04] No no, I'm better than them, I tell everyone that I'm irresponsible and don't keep up a facade! [15:16:20] Uh, I just visited the KSP2 website: Launching Fall 2021 [15:16:22] well [15:16:27] that's almost Elon-time! [15:17:57] hehe by this speed starship may go into orbit before ksp2 launch [15:21:57] KSP2 is waiting for the tech to become reality before launch, for realism [15:23:34] hehe [15:23:47] the nukular drive? that could be a long wait [15:23:51] quick build the hydrogen metal engine [15:46:39] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:55:56] Will KSP2 have realistic ion engines and thrust during time warp? And solar sails? [16:56:13] the public does nto know [17:08:50] I'm going to guess not really, but they might try to approximate it [17:09:12] If they do, I'm also going to guess that they're not going to use a fancy integrator like egg would [17:09:15] so what was in the nvidia event? [17:09:19] it is too long to watch [17:26:39] Do fancy integrators integrate along curves? [17:27:11] ok i watched it with skips [17:27:16] too much marketing speak [17:27:26] have to wait for actual independent tests [17:27:32] not to mention amd is a few weeks behind [17:29:22] darsie: yes (ish)? [17:30:00] And of course, good symplectic integrators get you proper n-body gravity with tractable amounts of compute [dubious - discuss] [17:34:59] Integration is probably bad at 100.000x time warp. [17:35:06] 100,000* [17:36:14] n-body would need a stable solar system. [17:36:31] solar systems [17:36:36] since there will be several [17:39:46] heh, he has had to fend off bug reports that amount to "custum solar system is unstable, please fix your code with correctly shows this" [17:40:44] hogylehet hogy erről nem hallottam? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu77Vtja30c [17:40:44] YouTube - Gustav Holst - Jupiter [17:40:49] hehe [17:40:54] ok, still not bad [17:41:10] (why didnt i know this?) [17:46:00] ...had you only heard Mars before? [17:47:22] there are mor? [17:47:24] have to [17:52:28] Yeah, you'll want the whole planets symphony [17:52:50] eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isic2Z2e2xs [17:52:50] YouTube - Gustav Holst- The Planets, Full Suite [17:56:55] just today I read a piece mentioning this classic recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5MHsnc67yw [17:56:55] YouTube - Charles Dodge - Earth's Magnetic Field [18:01:01] the great problem with music that it is not good to listen to on 2x speed [18:09:01] Action: raptop is of the opinion that the tracks that more or less correspond with KSP planets should play sometimes when you're in the relevant SOIs [18:09:14] (unfortunately, saturn, uranus, and neptune get left out) [18:12:27] there's a mod for that ;) (at least I think so, reading the description. [18:12:49] Soundtrack Editor can change playlists based on body and situation (and more) [18:15:02] nice [18:18:04] hehehe. "Where's Earth ?? It wasn't yet discovered when Holst composed this, I assume" [18:58:16] https://www.cameroncounty.us/spacex/ [18:58:23] so in 2 days [18:58:27] for a possible hop [18:58:34] but then waht is the other date? [19:08:52] SN7.1 test maybe [19:16:58] hmm, starship booster down to 28 engines from 31 [19:17:37] 8 in the center? in an octagon? why nothing in the center? [19:17:49] less boosters? that can't be right ;) [19:19:12] Althego: why put something in the center if you don't have to?
