[04:17:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [04:38:49] Last message repeated 1 time(s). [04:38:49] heh typed /exit instead of /wc twice :) [05:01:41] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [05:19:12] that's why you modify your irc client to change the /exit and /quit commands, where it just kicks back a simple message that states: "This command is depreciated. Use '/srslyexit' instead." [05:23:58] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [05:44:52] For dropping some space tourists from LKO to Kerbin, is there any point in using reentry pods instead of crew cabins? A simple setup of parachute, crew cabin, heat shield seems to be both cheaper and lighter than parachute and reentry module. [07:05:30] If it works, go for it. [07:51:51] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:33:42] Wastl2: that's often what I do [08:34:01] (or vaguely similar, to it, really) [09:48:42] Wastl2: the main thing is you need control and torque [09:55:27] Spinning and torque? Is there a chance that they keep rolling and kill the passengers by centrifugal force? [09:55:56] no, failing to keep the heatshield between the cabin and the air [09:56:43] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:56:57] and spin stabilisation is not perfect: all gyros precess [09:57:07] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:58:25] I had asssumed that the heat shield's weight would take care of the orientation. [09:58:45] So far that's been working... for the six cabins I sent down that way. [09:59:06] that certainly is possible [10:00:03] perhaps I'm too used to FAR where every surface is a lifting surface [10:01:02] (not to say you can't make a stable reentry module out of a crew cabin, but care must be taken) [10:01:53] (heatshield + mk1 crew cabin + mk1 cockpit + chutes does work, but is not particularly stable: need that pod torque) [10:05:18] For my first (and only other) flight with six passengers I had a long stick of cockpit, three crew cabins, heat shield... that required a lot of savescumming to get down intact. [10:07:51] Hence the redesign. :) [10:39:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:42:52] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:54:17] "Elon Musk offers to help Thai cave rescue" [11:42:52] and what will the Thai cave rescue? [12:04:57] musk takes his boring company to thailand? [12:18:00] it must be horrific to be trapped in a cave for days not knowing if you're ever going to be rescued [12:22:22] I imagine they would be panicking about food or their batteries running out before the divers found them [12:23:04] and they definitely wouldn't want to hear that one of the divers has died [12:23:22] sandbox: things I don't want to try...

[20:16:36] i suppose cubesats are nice once they're in orbit, but you still have to get them there [20:17:12] I landed so hard that my ship now has phantom forces attached to it [20:17:22] it keep sliding across the surface at 1 m.s [20:17:24] m/s [20:17:35] A little anxious to get my new SDR radio tested on the laptop. Then just need a cord built, I can listen in on said cubesats [20:17:37] i mean, there was probably a reason why they made new horizons a flyby and not an orbit [20:18:19] https://i.imgur.com/f0W3ccL.png [20:18:20] trade-offs...

[23:19:09] nope [23:34:11] Action: darsie made a nice parachute flight at the nearby island (with the airstrip) tosee if the trees were part of new stock, but they must be some mod. [23:36:12] oh .. [23:36:13] no [23:36:28] go to settings in menu screen when you first load up [23:36:41] a setting for setting scatter density [23:40:19] Should I change Terrain detail and Terrain Scatters, too? [23:46:29] depends if system can handle the extra graphics [23:46:33] test it first? [23:46:48] terrain scatter is what gives you trees and other things on the surface.. [23:47:07] but can end up loading when not close and covers a lot of ground [23:47:32] terrain detail is good ot have high.. found if you land on low setting, causes phantom jumping on anything but the runway [23:54:11] Terrain Detail high, Terrain Scatters check, Scatter Density 100%, restarted, no trees on that island.
