L73[03:23:21] <Rolf> lol its same rocket type as that funny meme pic I saw

L106[03:29:27] <Rolf> what happened?

L108[03:29:46] <Supercheese> bleergh
L109[03:30:00] <Althego> but it is time to space, so space tiem
L110[03:30:27] <Rolf> so, meet at same spot, which would be in space by that time? ;)
L111[03:31:12] <Althego> why is that flame burning in the lower left corner?
L112[03:31:35] <Rolf> burnoff of excess? or reason for scub?
L113[03:31:46] <Althego> that was burning there all the time
L114[03:31:58] <Rolf> oh didnt notice till you pointed it out
L115[03:32:13] <Althego> and as mentioned they intentionally fill up the space around the rocket with hydrogen, so the flame doesnt make any sense

L117[03:32:44] <Rolf> flame color dunno
L118[03:32:56] <Rolf> is that hyrogen burning?
L119[03:33:16] <Althego> hydrogen flame should be colorless, but somehow it is always reddish
L120[03:33:23] <Althego> orrather orange
L121[03:34:04] <Rolf> cameras can see bit more of IR, also I think its due to other stuff being in burning space, like oxygen and nirogen etc
L122[03:34:22] <Rolf> did they explain why yet?
L123[03:34:28] <Althego> they ran out of time
L124[03:34:30] <Althego> 65 minutes
L125[03:34:41] <Rolf> dang
L126[03:34:44] <Althego> but strange because we passed 1 hour now
L127[03:39:38] <Althego> i wonder if children playing with ksp today, when they grow up and some of them become rocket scientists, will there be kerbal themed rocket names in the future?
L128[03:39:53] <Rolf> ... and hopefully not KSP-style rockets...
L129[03:39:56] <Althego> what an incoherent sentence

L192[05:54:05] <Rolf> 65 minutes is quite tight
L193[05:54:26] <Rolf> didnt they setup it so rocket is readu to go say few minutes before even start of window?
L194[05:54:36] <Rolf> or is there such thing as being readu too long?
L195[05:55:21] <Althego> in case of cryogenics, probably
L196[05:56:10] <Rolf> I just thought up, why not blast rocket with very dry air to keep it from icing up?

L210[06:20:09] <Black_Eagle> so landing a space plane on duna is much more difficult than i thought
L211[06:20:22] <Althego> it is really difficult since the atmo change
L212[06:20:28] <Althego> even on the lowlands
L213[06:20:51] <Althego> i found 2 ways to make it work: instant slow down just above the ground by parachutes
L214[06:21:04] <Althego> then hop down on the ground without lift
L215[06:21:18] <Althego> or use some rockets to generate lift while you slow down
L216[06:21:30] <Althego> either heavy rcs or rotated engines
L217[06:21:55] <Althego> best is to combine the two, have feew seconds of propulsion and the chutes
L218[06:22:17] <Eddi|zuHause> vernor engine?
L219[06:22:24] <Althego> yes
L220[06:22:31] <Althego> or normal engine
L221[06:22:33] <Althego> s
L222[06:23:10] <Black_Eagle> my only weapon is nerva :P this isn't working, stall speed ~120m/s
L223[06:23:14] <Black_Eagle> i think there is a way
L224[06:23:15] <Althego> haha
L225[06:23:17] <Black_Eagle> but can't be sure
L226[06:23:23] <Althego> you could try to land on your tail
L227[06:23:33] <Althego> but with a plane that is quite hard
L228[06:23:46] <Black_Eagle> hmmmm. i'll try that
L229[06:23:53] <Althego> i can do that on the mun, but never tried that on duna
L230[06:24:12] <Althego> best if the engine sticks out, because it has 12 m/s tolerance
L231[06:24:34] <Eddi|zuHause> is that easier or harder with atmosphere?
L232[06:24:39] <Althego> harder
L233[06:24:53] <Althego> because the flyable plane has the usual com-col alignment
L234[06:24:59] <Deddly> Much harder
L235[06:24:59] <Althego> so it doesnt want to turn 90 deg
L236[06:25:15] <Deddly> ^
L237[06:25:30] <Althego> you can set it up a barely stable nimble plane
L238[06:25:39] <Althego> and in the thin atmosphere it might work
L239[06:26:03] <Deddly> But you still have to wrestle against all the control surfaces

L243[06:26:49] <Black_Eagle> hey i found a good landing spot. got four bounces and down to 60m/s then broke everything
L244[06:27:03] <Althego> you could just pull up until it flies upwards, then wait until gravity stops then hover down gently
L245[06:30:36] <Deddly> Althego: nice plane and great landing
L246[06:30:43] <Althego> haha
L247[06:30:49] <Althego> i wish
L248[06:30:59] <Althego> usually i say a mission is correct if you can easily do the landing
L249[06:31:03] <Althego> this was not the case

L251[06:31:38] <APlayer> o/ Deddly
L252[06:31:46] <Althego> so as in the moon landing. it was hard, but they practiced and planned enough so it was doable

L262[06:37:56] <Deddly> Althego, about landing on the tail by heading up and then back down on the rear engine, yes that would be the way to go, but it isn't easy anyway, because you gain a lot of altitude and have to reverse your plane without going too far, and in reverse, control surfaces do the exact opposite of what you want them to do,
L263[06:38:41] <Althego> yes sas reverses in reverse and destabilizes your craft
L264[06:38:55] <Althego> i had more than one landing on eve without sas because of this :)

L266[06:41:43] <Eddi|zuHause> you can invert control surfaces?
L267[06:41:55] <Althego> only deployment
L268[06:42:08] <Althego> but your direction of flight inverts them in effect
L269[06:42:26] <Eddi|zuHause> ?
L270[06:42:47] <APlayer> Althego: What wizardry is that?
L271[06:43:04] <APlayer> Or is it larger than it looks like?

L278[06:51:32] <Eddi|zuHause> this short film is a bit weird... he travels 5 minutes in time, but in that time, the earth rotation alone would have taken him like 30km from his origin point, yet he is still "in the neighbourhood"
L279[07:00:15] <Black_Eagle> Althego, couldn't flip the plane around
L280[07:00:32] <Althego> as we said, it is hard
L281[07:01:01] <Black_Eagle> never argued that, just told you it didn't work because i said i'd try :P
L282[07:01:22] <Althego> you could try to use counterweights for this :)
L283[07:01:32] <Althego> but then why not add fuel as counterweight :)
L284[07:03:32] <Eddi|zuHause> well, i suppose if you're willing to make alterations to the plane, then you should probably rework it to avoid that kind of landing instead :p
L285[07:04:50] <Althego> obviously
L286[07:05:10] <Althego> still, landing with a plane on duna is about as hard as landing on tylo

L309[08:11:53] <Black_Eagle> but hey, i added parachutes
L310[08:12:08] <Althego> all parchutes needs more mass than a bit of fuel
L311[08:12:11] <Fluburtur> use the m700 scanner for lithobraking
L312[08:12:24] <Althego> you can land with a single parachute and a weak engine in combo
L313[08:15:24] <Black_Eagle> it's a space plane, i can't turn it around. my nerva does help me though because it's slanted and points a little downwards
L314[08:16:33] <Black_Eagle> i'll try again. i added some small wheels in the back to help bouncy
L315[08:16:36] <Black_Eagle> unbounce
L316[08:17:40] <Althego> for rough landings i go with the widely spaced triangle wheel position. so back wheels as far back as possible as wide as possible. possibly the whole plane is around a triangle with the wheels at the corners
L317[08:17:41] <Black_Eagle> and about 1000 more fuel but now i just don't know if i can make it into kerbin orbit :P we'll see!

L381[10:22:14] <JVFoxy> geh... ok so...
L382[10:22:25] <JVFoxy> 8 kerbals want orbital trip.. 2 needs rescue..
L383[10:22:50] <JVFoxy> one rescue is one star, the other is 3... does the 3 stars mean kerbal way out in high orbit or something?
L384[10:23:10] <Black_Eagle> probably. you can check that from the tracking station, though
L385[10:23:33] <Black_Eagle> you'll have to make note of the specs of the mission and then try and understand which of the orbits is the rescue one
L386[10:24:05] <JVFoxy> don't think tracking shows you where the kerbal is till you take the rescue contract..
L387[10:24:20] <Black_Eagle> it should
L388[10:25:31] <JVFoxy> let me test something
L389[10:28:09] <Black_Eagle> you're right though, i can't find that anymore. pretty sure i've been able to see some things about the missions i've been given

L439[11:14:57] <Fluburtur> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/254984631512858634/477872528069754910/DSC_9429.MOV.Image_fixe006.png
L440[11:15:02] <Fluburtur> ole one is kinda broke and not very good
L441[11:15:07] <JVFoxy> I know some people like the speed. I'm like 'but it goes out there so fast, you have to keep pulling it in all the time..
L442[11:15:32] <Fluburtur> well it looks like it could go fast
L443[11:15:40] <Fluburtur> but it would need more power and thinner wings
L444[11:15:49] <Fluburtur> I made the wings really thick for the scale look
L445[11:16:40] <JVFoxy> I kind of like hte scale look.. speed
L446[11:17:30] <JVFoxy> but ya.. thin wings, make them weaker unless you reinforce them. Faster you go, don't need as much lift from the wings. But slower tends to suffer unless you flaps it
L447[11:17:52] <Fluburtur> I kinda want to retrofit flaps in this one
L448[11:18:41] <JVFoxy> can get complicated... more for helping to land or ?
L449[11:18:56] <Fluburtur> scale looks and flying slow
L450[11:19:30] <JVFoxy> well you said it already flies slow... but is that more a feeling or ?
L451[11:19:56] <Fluburtur> nah it is one of my slowest airplanes
L452[11:20:05] <Fluburtur> at least it looks like it should fly faster
L453[11:20:17] <Fluburtur> but that's because it has a tribalde prop, more torque but less speed
L454[11:20:54] <JVFoxy> try different pitch?
L455[11:21:20] <Fluburtur> it is a 10x6" prop, already quite pitchy
L456[11:21:30] <JVFoxy> just be careful.. dramatic speed change can throw your momentum off.. used to fast, then switching to slow.. visa versa
L457[11:21:40] <Fluburtur> I guess I could fit a more powerful engine but it would lose efficiency then and not gain much
L458[11:22:10] <Fluburtur> the current power setup is as efficient as can be so far so I would need to change both prop and motor to get it faster
L459[11:22:25] <JVFoxy> guess depends on style/setup you want.
L460[11:22:53] <Fluburtur> yeah
L461[11:23:08] <Fluburtur> I will see how well the fiberglass ones do with the current setup
L462[11:24:55] <JVFoxy> at last you in open field.. not on flight line.. I know depending on where you are, some limits. Have to pass tests to prove you fly ok
L463[11:25:01] <JVFoxy> last-least
L464[11:25:24] <Fluburtur> well, the prototype pretty much passes the test exept for speed
L465[11:25:34] <Fluburtur> I did a few rolls earlier and they were very good
L466[11:25:38] <Fluburtur> using ailerons and rudder
L467[11:25:43] <Fluburtur> didn't attempt a loop however
L468[11:25:50] <Fluburtur> and it stalls very gently
L469[11:26:00] <JVFoxy> whats it based off again?
L470[11:26:12] <Fluburtur> arsenal vg33
L471[11:27:33] <JVFoxy> small fench fighter... suppose to fast, not much range..
L472[11:28:03] <Fluburtur> yeah it was supposed to bring french fighters back to the level
L473[11:28:13] <JVFoxy> what did you coat your's with?
L474[11:28:19] <Fluburtur> nothing
L475[11:28:26] <Fluburtur> some tap on the wings and fuselage at most
L476[11:28:31] <Eddi|zuHause> so what's limiting the speed then? propeller shape? propeller rotation speed?
L477[11:28:34] <Fluburtur> the fuselage is 3d printed
L478[11:28:40] <Eddi|zuHause> air resistance?
L479[11:28:49] <Fluburtur> yeah propeller type and speed
L480[11:29:12] <JVFoxy> overall surface texture... surface drag
L481[11:29:25] <JVFoxy> then its profile drag
L482[11:29:25] <Fluburtur> it rotates at like 7k rpm at most
L483[11:29:40] <Fluburtur> static thrust of 750g and pitch speed of 65kph
L484[11:30:12] <Fluburtur> if it had more pitch it would go faster
L485[11:30:52] <JVFoxy> more pitch needs more torque
L486[11:31:16] <Fluburtur> torque isn't a problem, I have a big 900kv motor on there
L487[11:31:16] <JVFoxy> finer pitch takes more RPM
L488[11:31:48] <Fluburtur> I could use a smaller prop with higher pitch
L489[11:32:15] <Fluburtur> I would sacrifice static thrust for more speed
L490[11:33:13] <Eddi|zuHause> so that basically works like gear ratios?
L491[11:33:30] <JVFoxy> don't look at just the power/prop... if the hull and the wings of the plane aren't very smooth, its going to cause more drag the more power you put on
L492[11:34:07] <Fluburtur> yeah that fuselage isn't the smoothest but it's not that bad
L493[11:34:23] <Fluburtur> Eddi|zuHause basically yeah, you trade "air torque" for speed
L494[11:34:26] ⇨ Joins: DogeGAMR (DogeGAMR!Mibbit@136.33.116.249)
L495[11:35:01] <JVFoxy> props are almost like gears in a car..
L496[11:35:13] <JVFoxy> finer pitch, grips the air better but has to spin faster..
L497[11:35:48] <JVFoxy> deeper pitch good for speed but needs a bit more torque.. bad preformer, may even stall slower air speeds if running too fast
L498[11:36:19] <Eddi|zuHause> i'm assuming there's a minimum of this "air torque" or you won't take off?
L499[11:37:04] <Fluburtur> yeah if you have a prop with very high pitch is basically wo'nt work at lower airspeed
L500[11:37:11] <JVFoxy> more like you'd be wasting a lot of power at first.. till you get moving
L501[11:37:14] <Fluburtur> because the airfoil of the propeller will be stalled
L502[11:37:28] <Mat2ch> it's like hitting the air sideways then
L503[11:37:39] <Fluburtur> and fitting a variable pitch prop in planes that small is kinda hard but it would be beneficial
L504[11:37:43] <Fluburtur> I guess I could try
L505[11:37:51] <JVFoxy> how much pitch to the air a prop can stand depends on the profile before it stalls
L506[11:38:14] <Althego> that plane is not too small
L507[11:38:29] <Eddi|zuHause> i don't think i've understood how stalling works yet
L508[11:38:50] <JVFoxy> props also suffer from whats called P-factor.. or asymmetrical thrust when airflow doesn't come directly at it
L509[11:38:51] <Althego> really understanding anything aero would take years

L619[14:00:28] <Althego> i think i need to put it inside an other plane
L620[14:00:34] <JVFoxy> I've been itching to setup a polar base...
L621[14:00:40] <Althego> but i have already done that once
L622[14:01:02] <Althego> needs to be something else
L623[14:01:19] <Althego> maybe launching from submarine?
L624[14:01:23] <JVFoxy> maybe I'll install kerbal attachments/inventory, send some cargo up there...
L625[14:02:24] <Althego> the best would be if i could combine it with an electric prop and launch it to eve
L626[14:02:53] <Althego> because the previous eve plane looked really stupid on a rocket

L629[14:13:36] <JVFoxy> sorry.. mixed ya up with someone else then I guess. another was working on swing wing for plane but also had refinery and other things on it
L630[14:13:47] <Althego> i have
L631[14:13:51] <Althego> but the small one
L632[14:13:54] <JVFoxy> ok
L633[14:14:21] <Althego> the big plane guy is transitbiker
L634[14:14:26] <Althego> but i havent seen him around lately
L635[14:15:44] <JVFoxy> ah
L636[14:16:00] <Althego> he makes huge an dreally uglyp lanes
L637[14:17:36] <JVFoxy> not fan of ... 'messy' either.
L638[14:17:49] <JVFoxy> some reason the 'cheetah' I made really appeals to me
L639[14:18:25] <Fluburtur> so, I have to glue the tail of the vg33 back on and make a new nose
L640[14:19:06] <JVFoxy> Fluburtur so you did crash it? I was wondering that picture of it looking like was going to clip wing in the field there
L641[14:19:19] <Fluburtur> oh it did
L642[14:19:27] <Althego> hehe
L643[14:19:37] <JVFoxy> ah.. imagine if it was faster.. how much more damage
L644[14:19:40] <Fluburtur> the tail unglued itself cleanly because I didn't put tape and the nose was already quite damaged
L645[14:19:45] <Eddi|zuHause> so, is it possible to make a plane part that has a hatch and can be used by a kerbal, but not assigned from the hangar before mission start (like command seats?)
L646[14:20:00] <Eddi|zuHause> bonus points if the hatch has a ladder that can reach the ground
L647[14:20:02] <Fluburtur> and I need to change the design of the nose a bit
L648[14:20:27] <JVFoxy> Eddi|zuHause I'm guessing not including the one already on the cockpits?
L649[14:20:32] <Althego> in some cases if you move the root node the editor doesnt put in a kerbal automatically
L650[14:20:42] <Eddi|zuHause> yes. not including, but similar, to that
L651[14:20:44] <Althego> but that was mostly annoying me, and less useful
L652[14:20:59] <Eddi|zuHause> JVFoxy: problem with the cockpit hatch is that it can't be used by people sitting in the crew cabin
L653[14:21:00] <JVFoxy> there had been talk about including a hatch on the mk1 crew cabin...
L654[14:21:19] <Althego> there is a hatch on it
L655[14:21:22] <JVFoxy> other than that... I know firespitter has a cabin with a hatch on the side but it looks more likely used for heli parts
L656[14:21:39] <JVFoxy> mk1 has hatches on ends.. ya. but put anything new them, it complains
L657[14:22:12] <Althego> oh you mean crewed part, not cockpit
L658[14:23:38] <Eddi|zuHause> what i want is something like: cockpit, crew cabin^n, hatch, utilities, tail
L659[14:23:46] <JVFoxy> Eddi|zuHause as far as I know... crew inside can only use hatches on the part the reside in
L660[14:24:05] <Eddi|zuHause> so i want the hatch part to have a "seat", that i can transfer kerbals to
L661[14:24:08] <JVFoxy> there are add-on parts, that gives you a hatch, but in order for them to work, crew has be 'sitting inside' said part
L662[14:24:22] <Eddi|zuHause> but not available as a "start with a kerbal on this part" during crew assignment in the hangar
L663[14:24:28] <Althego> there is the inflatable airlock in the expansion
L664[14:24:41] <Eddi|zuHause> i don't have the expansion
L665[14:24:47] <Althego> that could serve as a hatch and it cant be crewed if deflated
L666[14:25:13] <Eddi|zuHause> i'm fairly sure the functionality for what i want is there
L667[14:25:25] <Eddi|zuHause> just has to be put together the right way
L668[14:25:50] <Eddi|zuHause> is there any guides on making a part?
L669[14:26:00] <Althego> probably
L670[14:26:37] <JVFoxy> I'm sure there is already been something done... a lot of people have talked about how annoying it is the mk1 crew cabin hasn't a side hatch
L671[14:26:40] <Eddi|zuHause> problem is, if i start making a mod, i'll never play the game ever again :p
L672[14:26:52] <Althego> hehe
L673[14:27:27] <JVFoxy> I've made parts.. well modified a part.. or two. When KSP got past a certain version, think they changed something where I couldn't modify props inside cockpits easily
L674[14:28:07] <Fluburtur> I think I will put a video system in my vg33
L675[14:28:14] <JVFoxy> I turned an adapter cone into a service module... I think I can still do that..
L676[14:29:15] <Eddi|zuHause> what i'd probably also like is a 2.5m crew cabin that seats 4 people
L677[14:29:31] <JVFoxy> other than the flat mk2 body style?
L678[14:30:15] <Eddi|zuHause> no, not the flat one
L679[14:30:31] <JVFoxy> actually, now you mention it, I would love to make a mk1 body style thats double length mk1 cabin for 4 crew, but comes with various interiors
L680[14:31:30] <JVFoxy> or just the regular mk1 with a few interior ideas...
L681[14:31:35] <Eddi|zuHause> what's always felt a bit odd was the reverse seat in the crew cabin
L682[14:31:47] <Fluburtur> I kinda want to buy those https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-EV200D-1280720-5_8G-72CH-True-Diversity-FPV-Goggles-HD-Port-in-2D3D-Built-in-DVR-p-1220010.html?rmmds=category&cur_warehouse=CN

L693[14:35:09] <Althego> i always thought it wanted to be something llike that
L694[14:35:53] <Eddi|zuHause> JVFoxy: that's a tiny bit bigger than 1.25m
L695[14:36:13] <JVFoxy> was more to show, side ways couch for sitting two in plane
L696[14:36:47] <Eddi|zuHause> just wanted to say, that's not very kerbal :p
L697[14:37:32] <JVFoxy> .... just came across this.. a bit mixed feelings: https://duranvirginia.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/virginia-duran-blog_amazing-aircraft-interior-design-avro-business-jet-explorer-3.jpg
L698[14:37:40] <Althego> lol
L699[14:37:50] <JVFoxy> day when planes become RV's.... ummm..
L700[14:38:16] <Blaank> I have serious doubts about the pressurization system on that.
L701[14:38:38] <Blaank> Also your view is going to be an airport.
L702[14:38:45] <Althego> or rather the quality of pressure isolation
L703[14:38:52] <Blaank> Unless you plan on landing on dirt runways in remote locations.
L704[14:40:19] <Althego> but there is nothing there
L705[14:40:29] <Althego> so why would you, it is exatly the same as with the airpport
L706[14:40:39] <Althego> make it a hydroplane
L707[14:40:52] <Althego> then you can land right next to some tropical island
L708[14:41:22] <Althego> maybe also do some scuba driving
L709[14:41:45] <JVFoxy> it looks like its based off the BAE 85.. which is considered a short runway type aircraft. It was used in a particular UK airport exclusively because of quiet and short takeoff/land role
L710[14:42:54] <JVFoxy> pressurizing probably isn't too hard a challenge. swing up cargo doors been around a while now. Probably used the same concept on the platform under it on the hull seals
L711[14:43:19] <Althego> whoever buys it, i hope the door swing open at t 30k feet :)
L712[14:43:39] <Althego> rich guy sitting there, and the next moment, puff, gone
L713[14:43:47] <JVFoxy> sadly.. it has already happened on commercial airliners in teh past.. not on that particular one but I think the DC-10 had issues
L714[14:45:22] <Eddi|zuHause> but on which busy business airport will you open that and enjoy the view?
L715[14:45:30] <JVFoxy> it was mostly related to the latching system being improperly designed and defeated. Someone forced the door latch, which bent a rod that held claws in place..
L716[14:45:59] <JVFoxy> plane like that.. wouldn't go to busy airports.. probably have private island runway..
L717[14:46:29] <Althego> yes, i am a fan of air crash investigations :)
L718[14:46:40] <Althego> used to binge watch it on youtube before flying :9
L719[14:46:51] <Eddi|zuHause> well, chances are on a private island you'd have an office for that kind of meetings. i'd say this is more for quick during-trip-meetings
L720[14:47:05] <Althego> no, you dont understand
L721[14:47:12] <Althego> the point is not to use it
L722[14:47:14] <Althego> but to have it
L723[14:47:16] <Althego> because you can
L724[14:47:36] <JVFoxy> like hte RV that can also double as a boat on water?

L732[14:49:09] <Althego> then they wonder why water flooded them
L733[14:50:34] <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, and the insurance will only pay for rebuilding the house, but not for moving away to a safer location
L734[14:50:58] <Eddi|zuHause> so the same house will need insurance over and over and over
L735[14:51:10] <Althego> also from george carlin: people build their homes on an active volcano, theen they wonder why they have lava in the living room
L736[14:51:26] <Eddi|zuHause> with the owners not having enough money to move, because the building won't sell
L737[14:51:34] <JVFoxy> then you get places that ends up flash flooding your home with mud. End of the day, turns into solid earth
L738[14:52:14] <Althego> heh, the red mud catastrophe thing (which was because of neglect)
L739[14:52:14] <JVFoxy> shrug.. homes can sink into the ground too..
L740[14:52:31] <Althego> not only mud, but poisonous and radioactive

L751[14:55:30] <BlackMoon> not much, just super dark KSC, with stars on top of some of the buildings
L752[14:56:05] <Althego> also somebody should convince squad to at least add some rudimentary radio aids

L761[14:57:02] <Eddi|zuHause> "in 300m, turn left"?
L762[14:57:09] <Althego> and make it all in kerbal
L763[14:57:31] <BlackMoon> Swaa skwaaa swkaaa.
L764[14:57:34] <Althego> something like chatterer just situation sensitive
L765[14:57:43] <JVFoxy> I figured, if it was bad enough, I'd drop a rover at the end of the runway.. use the marker it creates as a guidance.
L766[14:57:46] <Althego> probably isnt hard to make
L767[14:58:01] <Althego> yes, but why do you need to do these tricks?
L768[14:58:20] <JVFoxy> way I see it, KSP is stock...barebones
L769[14:58:23] <JVFoxy> add what you want
L770[14:58:40] <Althego> say you are flying back from a long way, you have to do dead reckoning, surely it will not be the shortest route. i dont do the haversine in my head
L771[14:59:12] <JVFoxy> think kerbinside still adds radio aids.. you can customize your own in
L772[14:59:17] <JVFoxy> I haven't used it in a while though
L773[15:00:44] <Althego> i dont want to maintain another system. i have enough. and i am not even a sysadmin
L774[15:01:01] <JVFoxy> I thinking it be nice to have at least some kind of way to build an airbase on the other main continent. More so I don't have to fly halfway around the world for some of the waypoints
L775[15:01:17] <Althego> there is the desert runway
L776[15:01:29] <Althego> and baikerbanur or whatsitsname
L777[15:02:00] <Althego> but as i said not even the icons are targettable, let alone having a landingguidance
L778[15:02:05] <JVFoxy> I know baiker is tucked away in some mountains..
L779[15:03:22] <Althego> but there is nothing on the huge east continent

L898[18:15:50] <Fluburtur> what happens if I microwave mercury
L899[18:16:44] <BlackMoon> the planet or element?
L900[18:16:51] <Fluburtur> the element
L901[18:17:05] <BlackMoon> It gets hotter. eventually boils.
L902[18:17:17] <Fluburtur> I happen to have about 300 grams of mercury for very obscure reasons
L903[18:17:29] <BlackMoon> a few months later, you surfer from irreversible brain damage from heavy metal poisoning
L904[18:17:41] <BlackMoon> suffer
L905[18:18:17] <BlackMoon> I recommend not drinking it. Even if you do heat it up in the microwave first.
L906[18:19:21] <Fluburtur> I don't think my plastic cups can resist being microwaved
L907[18:19:57] <BlackMoon> Most plastic cups don't have a will or means of locomotion and as such won't offer any resistance to being put into the microwave.
L908[18:22:08] <BlackMoon> BTW: mercury like most liquids is constantly evaporating.
L909[18:22:34] <BlackMoon> Its the fumes that are the most dangerous part of mercury, since your digestive tract is poorly equipped to absorb it.
L910[18:22:51] <Fluburtur> I have it in a sealed container
L911[18:23:03] <BlackMoon> that is good. Do not huff the mercury. You won't get high or super powers.
L912[18:23:15] <BlackMoon> Just more brain damage.
L913[18:23:29] <Fluburtur> but there are a few drops outside
L914[18:23:41] <Fluburtur> I guess I should put it next to the window then
L915[18:24:14] <JVFoxy> lol.. how ya even micrwave a planet?
L916[18:24:16] <BlackMoon> Either get the drops back into the jar, or properly dispose of them (hahahah... yea.. right... $$$$)
L917[18:24:31] <BlackMoon> JVFoxy: With a very big microwave of course.
L918[18:24:57] <JVFoxy> I mean.. don't we already communicate with probes using the microwave bands?
L919[18:25:05] <BlackMoon> Or a very small one, I mean you don't technically need to shield the thing if you don't have anyone standing around it..
L920[18:25:40] <BlackMoon> We communicate with ipads and laptops with microwave bands too.
L921[18:25:46] <BlackMoon> You are being microwaved right now.
L922[18:25:51] <JVFoxy> hate to say it but.. mercury vapor is a serious health hazard
L923[18:25:54] <BlackMoon> And so is the mercury.
L924[18:26:05] <BlackMoon> Yep.
L925[18:26:28] <BlackMoon> Mercury vapor is extreme level health hazard. you'd be better off licking lead paint then having that shit around.
L926[18:27:20] <JVFoxy> fortunately, liquid mercury is easy enough to spot, it clumps up readily.. more so than water. And it doesn't exactly make things 'wet'
L927[18:27:37] <Fluburtur> yeah mercury is quite fun to play with
L928[18:27:53] <BlackMoon> fluburtur: seriously would put any droplets back into the container, and throw out anything that has been exposed to them and might have micro droplets
L929[18:27:54] <Fluburtur> if you can dip your hands in mercury (with gloves that is) you should try it
L930[18:28:25] <BlackMoon> (Technically throwing it out in regular trash is a HUGE fucking nono, but its also likely $$$$$$$$$$ to properly dispose of it and a lot of bullshit...)
L931[18:28:49] <BlackMoon> do not throw your 300g vial out.. people would probably buy it.
L932[18:28:49] <TheKosmonaut> Language BlackMoon
L933[18:28:56] <BlackMoon> Opps sorry.
L934[18:29:17] <JVFoxy> wouldn't even know how one would dispose of excess mercury... maybe if you had a lab of some kind around? college/university?
L935[18:29:50] <BlackMoon> JVFoxy: waste disposal place. Aka place that takes used oil/gasoline/paint/pesticides/etc.
L936[18:30:23] <BlackMoon> they *should* take it, since they also will be taking flouresents/mercury halide bulbs.
L937[18:30:23] <JVFoxy> maybe but good to check first
L938[18:30:51] <BlackMoon> Yea, you'd have to call em, and hear em grumble about "NO WAY" till you tell em their website says they are supposed to accept it lol
L939[18:31:04] <Fluburtur> I don't intend of getting rid of it anyways
L940[18:31:05] <JVFoxy> they'd probably more prepared to take certain kinds, certain forms. Maybe not in rawest forms like liquid metals

L943[18:31:50] <BlackMoon> fluburtur: Sure, but PLEASE get rid of anything that has been contaminated with droplets of it.
L944[18:32:16] <JVFoxy> shop I worked with wanted to dispose of metal tin coated with photosensitive material. First time they were ok, but wouldn't give anything back funds wise. Secondtime they refused
L945[18:32:19] <BlackMoon> even if you just throw it into the trash, that is still 1000x better then having it sit in your room or something.
L946[18:32:20] <JVFoxy> so much for going green
L947[18:32:49] <BlackMoon> hahahah.
L948[18:33:01] <JVFoxy> .... certain kinds of batteries used to have mercury.., people toss them into the trash all the time. Now the recycling center takes them
L949[18:33:05] <BlackMoon> yea processor likely told the recycling place they wouldn't take it since it was 'contaminated'
L950[18:33:20] <BlackMoon> alkalines have been mercury free for ages.

L1066[20:49:37] <BlackMoon> ah, lol.
L1067[20:49:42] <JVFoxy> current config.. 28 parts..
L1068[20:49:55] <BlackMoon> thats enough to put 1 chute on it :0
L1069[20:50:31] <BlackMoon> just deploy the chute and disconnect the docking coupler as emergency abort, even if you still normally land it :P
L1070[20:52:00] <JVFoxy> this isn't final version..
L1071[20:53:05] <JVFoxy> mulling things over as I fly out.. docking port on the front, thinking next run I'd send another module out, connects to it.
L1072[20:53:59] <JVFoxy> I was kind of hoping if I can one engine design, maybe it'll free up some parts space. I know I can just upgrade the hangar but ... challenges?
L1073[21:04:13] <BlackMoon> redocking is pretty tricky too with front mounted ports
L1074[21:04:27] <BlackMoon> vertical ports you can just retract/extend landing gear, usally...

L1091[21:17:04] <Rokker> the only one left
L1092[21:17:43] <JVFoxy> ya I was reading up on that. I didn't realize it lifted off on just SRB's only then switched to liquid after on the next stage
L1093[21:18:05] <JVFoxy> SRB's considered stage 0.. like they didn't really consider it a 'proper stage' or something?
L1094[21:18:19] <Rokker> JVFoxy: and then the second stage was hotfired too
L1095[21:18:28] <BlackMoon> JVFoxy: Programmers made it. :)

L1108[21:20:30] <JVFoxy> Russian did it a lot on number of their rockets.. hence why the latices between stages.
L1109[21:20:32] <BlackMoon> JVFoxy: Sooo, Hot rocket on still firing rocket action eh?
L1110[21:21:05] <BlackMoon> How does that not result in horrible horrible things like.. whenever I stage too soon in KSP and previous stages take out the main rocket?
L1111[21:21:11] <JVFoxy> though in some cases, they added boosters on the latices, dropped the previous stage, burned boosters to give some push on the tanks. fired engine, then dropped the frame
L1112[21:21:12] <Rokker> JVFoxy: yeah but lattice hotfires dont look as cool
L1113[21:21:34] <JVFoxy> gemini did hot firing... they had holes in between stages
L1114[21:21:34] <BlackMoon> Do they stay attached till the previous stage burns out?
L1115[21:21:46] <Rokker> BlackMoon: we are talking like a few seconds of overlap in firing at most
L1116[21:21:53] <Rokker> usually fractions of seconds
L1117[21:22:04] <Rokker> no
L1118[21:22:18] <Rokker> once the next stage is ignited they drop
L1119[21:22:23] <BlackMoon> rokker: Yes and a few seconds of overlap = exploded rocket in KSP. 1/2 second maybe goes well. 1/4 second would likely be OK

L1122[21:22:54] <BlackMoon> k
L1123[21:22:55] <JVFoxy> some cases I think in gemini or mercury.. they had little booster rockets. would fire into the previous stage, they found the close proximity actually gave a slightly better boost than if was done in open space away

L1150[21:28:44] <JVFoxy> I'm considering KAS/KIS.. as well as the ground experiments package
L1151[21:29:00] <BlackMoon> HIGHLY recommend KAS/KIS

L1153[21:30:12] <BlackMoon> the only downsides to KAS is.. the winches have some issues latching up back to 0, they ARE powerful enough to rip your ship to pieces... and sometimes the winch line flys around in annoying orbits, especially in space (but not entirely limited to)
L1154[21:30:15] <Rokker> bigboi tires
L1155[21:30:52] <BlackMoon> KAS is absolutely wonderful for landed fuel transfers though, I wouldn't attempt them with docking ports to be honest.
L1156[21:31:04] <Rokker> biggest boi tires
L1157[21:31:06] <BlackMoon> its basically you use the claw or you use KAS
L1158[21:31:25] <BlackMoon> because docking ports are WAYYYY too fussy, especially when you factor in changing mass of fully loaded/unloaded fuel

L1209[21:58:54] <JVFoxy> I'm down to 360 fuel out of 1160.. plane without cabin is just a little over 8tons
L1210[21:59:15] <JVFoxy> cabin probably adds.. a ton or so more.. the extra weight probably didn't help matters either
L1211[21:59:29] <BlackMoon> Good news is KSP jets still have like 15X ISP because they take into account intake air
L1212[22:00:11] <JVFoxy> I already knew lifting cargo will have a good bit of cost to it
L1213[22:01:59] <BlackMoon> the bigger cargo bays can help you eliminate the drag cost (at the cost of more mass, of course)
L1214[22:02:26] <JVFoxy> I know.. didn't have research
L1215[22:02:37] <BlackMoon> ah.

L1221[22:04:56] <BlackMoon> (KSP-I mod)
L1222[22:05:11] <JVFoxy> well ok guess I don't have to worry about running out of fuel on the return trip... barely used 200 and flew a little over twice as fast
L1223[22:05:44] <BlackMoon> Nice
L1224[22:06:16] <BlackMoon> maybe consider holding the cabin with a decoupler or something instead, even if it still has a docking port, for the drag bonus
L1225[22:06:31] <BlackMoon> (stack decoupler that is)
L1226[22:16:41] <JVFoxy> single engine gives me a bit more capacity to add more things but not sure if it'll be enough power
L1227[22:18:54] <BlackMoon> well if you optimize the drag you won't need as much power. I mean think of how much faster you went, even though you only went from 9 tons to 8 tons
L1228[22:19:48] <BlackMoon> Stock KSP has some vaguely sensible aerodynamics these days. its not just 'however much the part weights = drag'
L1229[22:22:23] <JVFoxy> I might just use the single engine version for hauling smaller modules out... get the cabin out first, then a power pack with radio relay and solar panels next.
L1230[22:26:35] <JVFoxy> well... its flying at least.
L1231[22:29:54] <BlackMoon> Yea :) that is the trickyest part.
L1232[22:30:30] <JVFoxy> its about same speed but doens't want to fly as high as the twin engine version

L1237[22:42:25] <JVFoxy> dont' matter much.. it just means longer flight
L1238[22:44:40] <BlackMoon> Higher altitude is generally a lot more fuel efficient, since less drag.

L1246[22:46:58] <BlackMoon> if you ever find you have too much just drop the droptanks on some poor and homeless kerbals, they can use it to keep warm at night.
L1247[22:47:42] <BlackMoon> Yes, but you need less thrust because of drag. eventually you reach a point your going slower though, and that sucks.

L1249[22:49:51] <JVFoxy> trouble is finding that altitude, stable thrust, right pitch angle that gives lift but doesn't drag too much you start slowing down
L1250[22:50:26] <BlackMoon> Yep, you definitely got all the fine details down.
L1251[22:54:11] <BlackMoon> I tend to find with some mild intake spam, 20km is a good starting point. But without intake spam you are limited to a lot lower.
L1252[22:55:11] <JVFoxy> intake spam... used to be a big thing for a lot of people back in early days of ksp
L1253[22:55:37] <JVFoxy> I didn't bother myself
L1254[22:56:55] <BlackMoon> Yea, it looks pretty ugly, but still, 2 or 4 intakes per engine can be worked into designs to not look too horrible.
L1255[22:57:15] <BlackMoon> the radials are not too bad, though add a lot of drag.
L1256[22:57:44] <BlackMoon> oddly, less drag when facing backwards, though intake much less air... but you can spam a TON of them backwards and have less drag them having them forwards :P
L1257[22:57:54] <BlackMoon> the mass creeps up on you though hahah.
L1258[22:58:00] <JVFoxy> they make for good water pontoons
L1259[22:58:06] <BlackMoon> hahah.
L1260[22:58:28] <BlackMoon> nah what you do is make tiny hydroplane fins
L1261[22:58:56] <BlackMoon> Iv supported 200tons with just like 400kn, at 200m/s on hydroplane fins over the water.
L1262[22:59:24] <BlackMoon> like 4 or 8 of the smallest fins in the game
L1263[22:59:46] <BlackMoon> (though I usually use procedural wings for that, but still, tiny ones)
L1264[23:00:48] <BlackMoon> trick is getting the right pitch that you don't keep bouncing outta the water :)
L1265[23:01:22] <BlackMoon> with modified impact stats on the fins, iv gotten up to 1200m/s on the water with hydroplaning.
L1266[23:02:03] <JVFoxy> ouch
L1267[23:02:11] <JVFoxy> almost to the pole again... get some daylight here
L1268[23:02:48] <BlackMoon> 200m/s hydroplane is pretty doable with stock parts though.
L1269[23:05:10] <BlackMoon> Highly recommend trying it some day if you have a huge amount of mass you want to move over the ocean :)
L1270[23:05:56] <BlackMoon> Works very well with mechjeb to keep heading/stability/etc.

L1274[23:10:37] <BlackMoon> Nice. see try a stack decoupler off the cockpit to hold it instead, and unclip the top engine, I bet it would have a LOT less drag.
L1275[23:10:50] <BlackMoon> just cause KSP thinks stacks = awesome, radial = bad
L1276[23:11:08] <JVFoxy> no room for more parts
L1277[23:11:13] <BlackMoon> you can even have the decoupler to the docking port, or just docking port to bare cockpit (you can still undock)
L1278[23:11:35] <BlackMoon> You have a front docking port, just mate that to the cockpit
L1279[23:11:49] <JVFoxy> 600 of 1120 fuel still unused.. near the pole
L1280[23:11:54] <BlackMoon> well the fuel tank
L1281[23:13:06] <BlackMoon> Anyway, just a thought to make it go faster/save a lot of fuel. seems like you don't really need it if you can reach the poles though :)
L1282[23:18:45] <JVFoxy> I guess I could have docked to the back of the tank but.. probably would have wanted the top port of moving around later.. I'm still testing things out
L1283[23:19:05] <JVFoxy> I might switch to end docking instead..
L1284[23:19:23] <JVFoxy> though when I think about it, would cause problems if I were to add more cabins to the base..
L1285[23:20:57] <JVFoxy> I ended up switching from the flat adapter plate to a small round battery for a step up to the door. battery was like 1/4th the weight, plus it could hold a charge
