I can't find anything about that in the wiki or forums [12:46:17] some stages don't have a dot [12:47:15] packbart: uh, do you have a picture for us? [12:47:41] Is there documentation of the dot (triangle?) next to the altimeter? Does it change orange when going suborbital or so? [12:49:06] I'll try and make a screenshot. it [12:49:15] err, it's in the stage list in the VAB [12:58:09] the green stars, not on all parts: https://formularfetischisten.de/~packbart/temp/foo.png [13:08:08] Yeah, I've just been in the VAB and now I'm wondering, too [13:08:41] darsie: I have never seen a documentation on the triangle. But it seems to be green, when on ground, orange, when moving on ground and blue, when in a stable orbit [13:09:34] packbart: my theory on the star is that it might have something to do with being the main part of another part [13:11:03] Both the triangle and dot are off while thrusting on a suborbital trajectory in space: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot73.png [13:12:17] Now dive down into atmosphere, where it's unsafe to do an EVA [13:12:22] I think that's the reason for it [13:12:40] triangel or dot? [13:14:13] the orange light comes on at high negative vertical speeds. I always thought those light had some standardized meaning in aviation [13:15:41] mhm, triangle could be EVA indicator. [13:18:41] darsie: I have never seen a documentation on the triangle. But it seems to be green, when on ground, orange, when moving on ground and blue, when in a stable orbit [13:18:57] the dot may be a EVA indicator [13:20:06] I mean EVA risk indicator. [13:21:39] https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/182661-ksp-loading-preview-new-altimeter-toggle/page/4/ [13:21:45] same discussion :) [13:22:36] https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/182661-ksp-loading-preview-new-altimeter-toggle/&do=findComment&comment=3554456 [13:22:43] explains the triangle [13:31:44] that's good to know :) I looked in KSPedia but it doesn't explain those, so I just assumed they might be standard VSI gizmos and I was just too lazy to look it up ;) [13:45:14] oh dear, I almost killed Bill and Bob this time. who'd thought that on return to Kerbin, the Mun would block the sun for several hours. well, any competent mission planner, probably [13:45:43] they'll want to have a word with whoever decided "we don't need fuel cells on this one" [13:46:39] im still amazed by how stiff you can make foam using paper [13:46:42] I saved their lifes by turning off some of the (Kerbalism) life support systems [13:47:26] "Lifes is an incorrect formulation of the plural lives." I see [13:51:26] packbart: Who told you that? [13:53:45] The Internet, of course [13:57:40] automatically or on requets? [13:57:44] request [13:59:02] well, I did search for it because "lifes" didn't feel quite right [13:59:25] ic :) [14:00:13] IIRC the plural of dwarf can be dwarfs or dwarves. [14:27:35] Fluburtur: did you not play with Papier mâché as a child? [14:27:46] We used to make things out of it in kindergarten [14:35:08] darsie: funny thing is that author hated irregular verbs so he forced dwarves as pural [14:35:29] it was supposed to be druarrves or something? forgot [15:46:48] not that much and it was usually crap [16:54:33] Xxcoder: dwarrows (or dwerrows). [17:52:57] Fluburtur: it was. But the stuff you see at parades are often made with chicken wire and Papier mâché [18:40:33] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:32:13] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:42:11] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:19:31] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:47:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
