<queqiao--> <J​2 ​En​jo​ye​r> does principia support mechjeb
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> sort of (smart ass doesn’t honor reference frames, but the maneuver planner takes into account n-body)
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> the question is more does MJ support Principia
<queqiao--> <C​la​ye​l> the maneuver planner in Principia takes into account n-body, but i dont believe the mechjeb one does? mechjeb can just execute maneuvers given by principia
<queqiao--> <l​am​on​t> mechjeb's maneuver planner just doesn't work and shouldn't be used
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> MJ’s interplanetary transfer planner is relatively accurate
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> …ok lol
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> in all cases, for every mode?
<queqiao--> <l​am​on​t> you have to use principia's maneuver planner for principia
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> I swear it worked fine when I used Principia
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> but ok you’re the dev you know what you’re talking about
<queqiao--> <l​am​on​t> i thought placing maneuver nodes was just broken in principia, but maybe that got fixed sometime and i just never checked
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> What I remember is a non-Principia node (because the dv counter worked) being placed on the patched conics orbit, the resulting trajectory of which usually encountered the target planet
<queqiao--> <e​zs​na​ck​> i saw in a yt video that ksptot can create nodes for principia (or edit them?)
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> I really need to install KSPTOT and learn to use it
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> learn the power of the dark side
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> Doesn’t it have a system where you can plan out an entire mission from start to finish, iirc?
<queqiao--> <G​oF​or​PD​I ​(l​es​s ​dr​ag​=m​or​e ​fa​st​er​)> that sounds insanely powerful

<queqiao--> <K​ag​a> learnt that the hard way when circularizing at high apoapsis
