egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…
<queqiao-->
<J2 Enjoyer> does principia support mechjeb
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> sort of (smart ass doesn’t honor reference frames, but the maneuver planner takes into account n-body)
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> the question is more does MJ support Principia
<queqiao-->
<Clayel> 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-->
<lamont> mechjeb's maneuver planner just doesn't work and shouldn't be used
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> MJ’s interplanetary transfer planner is relatively accurate
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> in all cases, for every mode?
<queqiao-->
<lamont> you have to use principia's maneuver planner for principia
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> I swear it worked fine when I used Principia
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> but ok you’re the dev you know what you’re talking about
<queqiao-->
<lamont> i thought placing maneuver nodes was just broken in principia, but maybe that got fixed sometime and i just never checked
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> 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-->
<ezsnack> i saw in a yt video that ksptot can create nodes for principia (or edit them?)
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> I really need to install KSPTOT and learn to use it
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> learn the power of the dark side
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> Doesn’t it have a system where you can plan out an entire mission from start to finish, iirc?
<queqiao-->
<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> that sounds insanely powerful
