[16:08:54] none [16:08:58] hilarious pics there [16:09:07] i saw thise a while ago [16:09:10] these [16:09:38] a day without kerbal being murdered is a day that is ashamed of itself [16:09:57] https://www.facebook.com/greenpeacefrance/videos/10156581621617458/ [16:11:36] ew, facebook :P [16:12:28] wanted the original source [16:12:45] but anyway, some people flew a drone to a french nuclear reactor building [16:12:54] showing that it is completely defenseless [16:13:33] it's technically not forebiden to fly over a nuclear reactor [16:13:40] just, really not advised [16:14:39] does any nuke powerplants have ground to air defense systems? [16:14:52] dont think so [16:14:52] some of them probably have the jammer guns but those are a joke [16:15:00] at least until the first terrorist flies into it [16:15:18] and if I know of any close to me that has one, I will build a rc plane made to prove the jamemr gun is useless crap [16:16:00] has anyone put a spacecraft in a lagrange point with principia? [16:16:27] hehe, wolfie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4SwHsv3bdw [16:16:28] YouTube - So Flat Earthers... you want to explain that horizon rising to eye level to me again? [16:17:04] too bad i havent flown since i learned the existence of modern flat earthers. i was flying many time a year before [16:18:12] how can these people convince themselves that the earth is flat? [16:18:37] they want to feel smart [16:19:02] like "oh im not a sheeple like you I think for myself" but you see, doesn't work out that well [16:20:23] good, being close to him was dangerous :) [16:42:54] I should get some ribs cut from 2mm plywood for my fiberglass planes [16:43:03] laser cut perhaps [16:43:13] for wing ribs and sue internal structure [17:00:21] ey Fluburtur, i got myself a rc helicopter recently :) [17:02:58] nice [17:03:02] a good one? [17:04:32] no idea, it is quite big though [17:04:48] pics? [17:05:08] none yet, though lemme google a bit. [17:07:46] https://www.hobbywarehouse.com.au/double-horse-9053-volitation-ex-demonstration-rc-helicopter.html it is one of these (except in blue) [17:08:15] eh, guess that's not too bad for a coaxial [17:08:25] look at the v950, very nice entry to CP helis [17:09:11] i got it at a fleamarket for only 15Euro... [17:09:18] nice [17:10:07] i do have a smaller version of that too, except i have just the helo, no controller or charger for it [17:21:28] htis one is pretty nice https://www.banggood.com/WLtoys-V950-2_4G-6CH-3D6G-System-Brushless-Flybarless-RC-Helicopter-RTF-p-1080417.html?rmmds=search [17:21:55] flies like a real once since CP head and good flight time too [17:22:01] I need to order spares for mine [17:23:52] less scary than flying the 450 too [17:25:09] v950 and trex 450 for scale https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/186186471202357249/461566555201994752/DSC_9217.JPG [17:26:10] Fluburtur: so I ran into some Canada geese in Cambridge. The european ones have way more chill than their north american counterparts. [17:26:27] yeah they are pretty cool [17:26:42] guess they become worse when you go closer tot he evil epicenter in canada [17:47:06] i am so lay that i have been planning to check whether i can go up to the roof for months and i havent taken a step in that direction (literally, have to climb up to the highest floor 4th or 5th depending on where your zero is) [17:52:11] Fluburtur: That's because they get worse when close to Mordoronto [18:02:09] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o BPlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:04:55] anyone have tips on landing in the canyons? [18:05:26] On what planet? [18:05:37] dont do that :) [18:07:52] Get a canoe. [18:08:13] the mun's canyons [18:08:27] I keep forgetting the mun has much more gravity than minmus [18:08:28] Why not minmus? [18:08:43] ohh, this is #kspofficial :) [18:08:58] Neal: Aim, burn retrograde. [18:09:09] fail, retry [18:10:47] Neal: I suggest aligning your orbit for a pass directly over a canyon. Then, constant altitude burn to kill all horizontal velocity while still directly over the canyon. Adjust burn direction as necessary. Finally, land via suicide burn. [18:11:05] did it first try somehow [18:11:06] kOS, MechJeb or similar recommended. [18:11:11] Pics? :D [18:11:41] https://i.imgur.com/6J7RNDY.png [18:12:09] I used more fuel than I anticipated and I'm not sure if I'll be able to rendezvous with my orbital research station... [18:12:35] hello all, is the official forums down? [18:13:45] hmmm Seems to be :( [18:15:32] thanks [18:16:09] canisin: Perhaps we may help you here? [18:16:17] Neal: 932 m/s should get you well in Mun orbit. [18:16:44] Maybe even back to Kerbin. [18:16:45] APlayer, thanks [18:17:17] Neal: Is that a spark engine? [18:17:21] darsie, my station is at 54km, do you think that's enough? [18:17:27] yeah [18:17:30] I was gonna check if there was any follow up on a few particular mod threads [18:17:39] it is a spark [18:17:40] Neal: Nice stuff! The delta-V you have is plenty to return to Kerbin if all other things fail [18:17:57] and also, i wanted to research how to strip down an installation copy for fast loading so i can do some mod testing [18:18:03] Definitely enough for a low munar orbit rendezvous [18:18:29] canisin: I think you're best off using a fresh install for the latter [18:18:43] Neal: easiest solution - add thrust to your lander and brake almost instantly above canyon [18:18:53] Neal: Do you need a large plane change? [18:19:03] only a degree or two [18:19:08] you're fine [18:19:20] Launch at the right moment. [18:19:24] I'm a little worried about RCS levels because I'm so bad at docking lol [18:19:35] if anything I have a RCS tug attached to my staion [18:19:41] press F5 in time. [18:19:46] On the Mun, even a launch from 20 or 30° or so of inclination to an equatorial orbit is fine with that dV [18:20:09] Neal: RCS can be largely substituted with your engine [18:20:54] Other than that, use maneuver nodes, make sure you have an approach that is off-the-scale close (< 100 m), execute, time warp, kill velocity, dock [18:22:14] Also, if you're low on RCS fuel, go the patient route and save fuel with a slower docking trajectory [18:22:56] aplayer thanks! [18:23:54] o/ [18:26:35] Neal: Turn off SAS for attitude changes and turn back on when you are at/near the desired attitude. Umm, if you have a reaction wheel, ignore that. Or turn off rcs for attitude control. [18:33:00] Neal: Your TWR is 3.6, so you're good there, too. [18:33:38] Lander seems fine to me in all aspects. And, I repeat, enough delta v to return to Kerbin if docking fails, so you even have a solid plan B [18:34:22] It's ugly, though. Lot of part overlap. [18:34:26] beautiful timing. https://i.imgur.com/Dz8keB9.png [18:34:46] :) [18:35:23] I need to abandon this lander though, not enough fuel reserves [18:35:40] once I get another lander launched I'm going to crash this one into the mun [18:36:04] Why did you fly back up? [18:36:59] had to return some science data to my processing lab in orbit [18:38:49] Neal: You should be good for return to Kerbin, aerobraking & low orbit with that lander. You might be able to refuel it in LKO [18:40:09] my station has about 3200 ox, 2600 fuel, and 600 monoprop onboard so it will be fine [18:41:43] Why do you abandon it, then? [18:42:13] https://i.imgur.com/NlC4GDl.png [18:42:14] At worst, you can use it to ferry crew and fuel between LKO and the Mun. Though the science parts do add dead weight. [18:42:29] I plan on making several trips to the mun's surface to explore [18:42:41] also it doesn't have all the parts I've researched yet [18:43:08] So you mostly want to upgrade it? [18:43:08] it's just obsolete [18:43:13] Alright then [18:43:29] Perhaps recycle it as a station escape pod ;-) [18:43:47] it's just sitting there wasting docking space haha [18:44:35] Action: APlayer is always reluctant when decommissioning old hardware [18:45:02] having clutter in orbit makes it hard to select maneuver nodes and targets [18:47:50] putting that rockomax x200-32 and adjoining 2.5-1.25m fuel adapters into mun orbit was a pain [18:49:49] http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot92.png ;) [18:50:53] Two large 81 t Kerbodyne tanks. [18:50:56] darsie: I presume at least one of those reaches the Mun? [18:51:08] They are not for mun. [18:51:22] But rather? [18:51:22] Ahh, yeah, I guess one would. [18:51:42] Action: APlayer is also curious about all sorts of things [18:51:45] Dunno. I think my brother wanted a fuel depot and so I tried this. [18:52:02] I'm mostly done with KSP, unfortunately. [18:52:22] No time? [18:52:29] No incentive. [18:52:36] Humm [18:53:03] Achieved most goals. [18:54:01] my endgame is to have a self sustaining research station around/on Eeloo [18:54:02] Asteroid to Kerbin orbit, sample return from Eve and Eeloo ... [18:55:11] You may want to check out RSS and kOS. I rediscovered KSP down to building launch vehicles with those mods. :-) [18:55:42] (Obviously, just the two would be unreasonable, but you can still have a minimally modded setup with them) [18:56:07] Yeah, I tried RSS/RO/RP-0. Was nice, but tough and tedious. [18:56:29] I think I stopped when KSP crashed too much and restarts took too long. [18:56:54] Indeed, my KSP mostly crashes if I revert too often [18:57:47] still haven't gotten a crash in a while suprisingly, my mods are 2-3 versions out of date [21:13:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|zzzz' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:14:10] Hello [21:14:21] Alright? [21:14:37] Cool [21:14:47] Can I ask a question?

[21:17:09] I have 0 experience with it on PS4, but a quick google suggests the X button for staging [21:17:31] o7 [21:17:36] :V
