<Clayel> how do i make a principia maneuver through the principia api? alternatively, how do i turn a stock maneuver into a principia maneuver?
<queqiao-->
<kuzinat0r> Looks like they know how to create a manoeuvre using principia api?

<Butcher> > alternatively, how do i turn a stock maneuver into a principia maneuver?

<Butcher> You don't, directly, you copy the numbers.
<queqiao-->
<Butcher> afaik principia doesn't have an external manoeuvre API
<queqiao-->
<Clayel> :/

<sichelgaita> FWIW my opinion (and egg may not agree) is that the entire Principia API was a mistake. Its value to the community is approximately zilch and it's a sizeable maintenance burden (we try hard not to break it when the internals change). Also I am annoying by the regular requests like "please add these 50 entry points so that I can call Principia from my grandiose future mod".

<egg> Yes, I am not sure whether anyone uses the API. We added that for MechJeb, which seems not to have needed it.
