[02:22:16] You can use kerbals in command seats as headlights that use no electric charge [02:24:51] ... sounds a little cheaty huh? [02:25:24] then again... command pod, may as well have endless amount of RCS fuel with use of Kerbals. :P [02:50:01] unfortunately kerbals can't use RCS while grabbing a ladder [02:50:20] so you can't steer properly :p [02:51:50] Eh, there are also wheellights that don't use charge. [02:55:40] i was just wondering, how far would the moon have to have formed away from the earth to not end up tidal locked? [02:56:02] thought landing gear lights use charge still? [02:56:06] least from waht I seen [02:56:56] (assuming earth and moon have the same size and position around the sun and whatnot) [02:57:07] ya.. t1 landing gear lights use 0.1 charge, regardless of colors set on them.. even if all set to 0 [03:01:46] huh, a planetbase update. wasn't quite expecting that [03:08:54] ugh.. flying fuel tanks to a test base, forget to disable fuel transfer. [03:19:37] https://imgur.com/3Zdn9AR [03:19:38] https://i.imgur.com/3Zdn9AR.jpg [03:19:49] Labelled map of Duna! [03:21:35] awesome! [03:27:46] https://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/raw_images/296612/ [03:27:51] actually there is something missing. I need to label the point on Duna that is directly under Ike [03:30:18] .... ike is geostationary? [03:32:48] Yeah [03:33:07] JVFoxy: https://imgur.com/EvegWIK [03:33:08] https://i.imgur.com/EvegWIK.jpg [03:34:05] Ike wobbles north and south but always stays above about 3 degrees easty [03:34:08] ah.. I hadn't been out there myself so.. never got around to reading up on it [03:36:38] ksp has a lot of tidally locked bodies [03:38:49] lot of very flat spinning planets [03:39:04] well... non-tilted planets [03:39:25] uhm, i think "ike above" is a terrible label [03:43:10] Eddi|zuHause: I'm open to suggestions [03:43:44] I'll need labels for the places on Laythe Vall and tylo that have Jool above [03:44:10] and the place on the Mun which faces Kerbin [03:48:16] How about "Below Ike" [03:48:33] Ike's [03:49:10] you just marking out biomes right? [03:49:17] is below ike even a biome? [03:51:40] JVFoxy: not precisely biomes, more like, interesting areas [03:51:51] points of interests... [03:52:54] though sorta closely matches biomes in a way.. duna have a high and low point? [03:58:45] ws [03:58:50] blutr [03:59:04] Action: JVFoxy makes random sounds from mouth... ugh. [04:10:45] JVFoxy: I've identified the highest point on Duna as the peak of the highlands west of Northeast Basin [04:12:29] Oren there is also this still around, can be of some help? http://ksp.deringenieur.net/ [04:13:13] geez... iceshelf is more than 100km across.. finally my base shows up 95km out and already flown for a while over the edge of the shelf [04:15:48] JVFoxy: Problem with that thing is it's showing the phsical appearance of the planet, not the biomes [04:16:49] oren if you look top right.. you can set which layers.. biome layer is one [04:17:13] oh wait.. [04:18:06] oren sorry.. n/m... kerbin and mun only two that have the biome layer.:\ [04:20:47] Yeah this is probably so old it's from back when only kerbin and the mun had biomes [04:21:57] yeah the kerbin biome map is old, it's not accurate to current version [04:22:49] It has the phantom tundra between ksc and the grasslands [04:24:09] that site came into being when the original kerbal maps disappeared. I don't know if it ever came back. Sorta into the void like kerbal comics back in the day :( [04:40:25] Hmm, testing indicates that the external tanks can in fact splash down [04:41:09] Now I need to figure out how to have only one external tank [04:42:38] or have two that are attached together somehow [04:47:06] going with one poses some challenges with balancing center of mass and thrust [04:54:17] hola [04:54:31] he we go again [05:07:51] You guys need to +s and be done with this crap. [05:07:58] I don't know why you haven't yet. [05:08:06] The bots don't join channels that aren't listed. [05:09:06] "/mode #kspofficial +s" [05:09:13] hands tied... not up to me [05:09:28] 14 people can do it. [05:09:38] still dont understand why anybody would think ads on irc are worth it [05:09:59] PM spam... >.< [05:10:20] 2 channels had bot problems. Both ended after being +s [05:12:55] bot? [05:20:51] ok.. can breath again :P [05:28:20] that said... guess I can consider this test done and do-able. [05:28:20] https://imgur.com/a/Q4xYb6n [05:28:20] https://i.imgur.com/tdso6hz.jpg [05:29:17] nice base! [05:31:57] found out with landing legs, they caused problems so.. had to rethink things. [05:33:43] twin boomed plane allows me to connect things up to the central tower without hitting it. Fuel tanks to see if I can make use of a fueling way point.. I still need to figure out a fuel transfer thing [06:45:24] o/ [06:48:49] mm. yo [09:49:15] hello [09:50:01] hahaha [09:50:05] this is gold [09:50:19] bot talk [09:55:07] ok hard question [09:55:18] I want to make simple retracts for my rc plane [09:55:27] I have servos hat can rotate 180° [09:55:56] so I want it to move the gear by 90° and lock at each end in one 90° movement [09:55:58] Althego, they one of those wiggly worms? [09:56:00] how do [09:56:15] Zarthus: yes, i got the random spam [09:56:22] but it was obvious before that [09:56:28] it was, but i needed confirmation [09:57:35] I was thinking of using a 6mm BB in a groove to transfer the motion and do the locking [09:59:01] real landing gear hydraulics are complicated [09:59:27] yeah I know that's why I want to make it simple [10:01:49] basically, I think I could have a BB in a radial groove on the driven gear and a circular groove on the drive gear [10:01:53] with notches in it [10:02:21] this way in a position the BB is locking the system then the drive gear moves, the ball slides a bit and unlocks the system and drives it [10:02:26] how would it lock in in either of the positions? [10:03:19] at the end of the travel the drive gear pushes the ball along the channel and it goes in a hole in the casing that locks it [10:06:28] really I just need a way to have a 90° movement that locks at both ends [10:06:52] do you add an on ground switch? :) [10:08:05] nah [10:08:18] I could try to re-visit the geneva drive system but it was too bulku [10:25:26] thinking that hard is exhausting [10:25:37] I need nurishment for my brain [10:25:41] hehe [10:26:22] It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. [10:27:36] go get some sapho juice :) [10:42:40] if I work out the retarct system I want I willt ry to make it parametric [10:42:52] becaus eit should be able to do any movement less than 180° [10:45:19] what is prametric [10:45:32] paramedic is the closes word i know :) [10:46:05] it means I can put numbers int he thing and it will make th emodel accordingly [10:46:10] ah [10:46:28] so not fixed size but you can redesign it with chosen parameters [10:47:04] yeah [10:47:15] the spinner I made for the plane is made that way [10:47:25] about a dozen parameters I can change [10:51:57] I think I found out how to design the damnt hing [10:52:56] wintergatan is some good brainpower music [11:11:42] time to tape a big heavy metal bolt on the nose of the plane [11:48:36] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [11:57:00] it is a bit too windy to fly today so instead I will take the bottleboat out again [12:29:48] ''.'

[12:30:56] [[p;[5.ik k056+ [12:31:02] @#;',8 [12:53:07] nephew [12:53:18] close enough [12:53:53] most cats are less destructive than nephews [13:11:22] over their lifetime? certainly [13:11:51] lol amortized lifetime destructiveness cat vs nephew [13:11:59] however, depends on your metric :p [16:38:22] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=743nPh9M0hY <-- i like how every instance of GIF in this video is pronounced differently :p [16:39:40] Total Cost of Uncleship? [16:39:59] negligible compared to cost of parenthood [16:40:45] isnt this guy one of the people in the scishow and related channels? [16:40:55] yes, that's the one [16:41:27] mister i-own-half-of-edutanement-youtube [16:42:22] Is RP-0/1 still in ckan? Can't find it. [16:43:06] hehe surprise putin [16:44:39] darsie: "Realistic Progression Zero"? [16:44:47] yes [16:45:02] that's in CKAN listed as "compatible to 1.2.2" [16:45:12] oh [16:45:17] I installed 1.3.1 [16:45:25] thx [16:52:25] I have a kerbal named catgun [16:52:33] hehe [16:55:42] Kitty! [16:58:25] makes you wonder how 'random' these names actually are.. or does it just pull from a list [17:06:00] Ahh, right, https://github.com/KSP-RO/RP-0/releases only mentions 1.2.2. [17:13:11] JVFoxy: pulling from a dictionary is still a list [17:13:12] ¯\_(Ä)_/¯ [17:13:47] so it is a big name list then? [17:16:42] I guess it composes it from a list of syllables. [17:16:55] some names are special [17:17:10] but catgun is probably generated [17:18:12] so.. somewhere is 'cat' and then 'gun'.. chances of them together though :P [17:18:41] gosper glider gun [17:18:42] anywhere in murica [17:23:47] Gimli Glider Gun [17:24:05] hehehe [17:24:17] Also, the name generator has a few forbidden ones. [17:24:43] Notably there's a suffix -do, and a prefix dil- [17:25:07] hehe [17:25:30] i think it would be hilarious [17:25:42] still lot of funny names [17:29:55] My EL Launchpad keeps commun up saying ti is incompatable with 1.4.5, yet it works fine. DO I need to alter the vserion file to stop that? [17:31:49] EL is 6.1.0 [17:36:12] According to the forums, that is the current version [17:40:38] https://youtu.be/1MJ2g7Eb0QE [17:40:39] YouTube - Megalovania on Floppotron [17:40:50] already watched it :) [17:48:28] don't have to see it... friend played the actual song so many times.. I can already imagine disk drives playing it in my head. >.< [20:46:08] Found a second hard drive of mine that doesn't work, and I have the insides showing as decor now. The magnets in them things are strong but not as strong as I thought they were. [20:47:30] find a really old hard drive, those magnets can nearly crush bone :( [20:51:50] SWDennis hmm... messing with stuff [20:52:26] Yeah this one seems to have an effective range (I.E. the range you can really see the force) of about half to 3/4", I thought that would be 2-3" [21:05:35] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:11:10] Do hard drives usually write data from center to edge or the other way?
