L16[00:11:42] <Eddi|zuHause> manifold: there's 3 buttons on the lower left, next to the cost. they show you center of lift/mass/thrust
L17[00:11:54] <JVFoxy> heh.. lil'screen
L18[00:12:30] <Althego> the leaning is because of the fins
L19[00:12:46] <Althego> however if you remove them, it may want to turn backwards

L22[00:13:07] <Althego> you can go with the smallest fins for stability if the big ones are too much
L23[00:13:32] <manifold> I hadn't thought of that. Thanks.
L24[00:13:36] <Eddi|zuHause> manifold: you want the center of mass (yellow dot) to be below the center of lift (blue dot), and be aware that the yellow dot moves when fuel gets used up
L25[00:13:54] <Althego> and you can add 6-8-12 or even 18 of the smaller ones if they are not enough
L26[00:14:38] <JVFoxy> miniscule lean is usually expected in normal gameplay even if you get everything exactly perfect.. or so I've seen
L27[00:14:39] <Eddi|zuHause> manifold: you can simulate fuel being used up by right-clicking a tank and moving the slider how much fuel it stores
L28[00:14:55] <manifold> So confused.
L29[00:15:15] <manifold> I thought it was supposed to be the other way.

L35[00:15:58] <manifold> Where do we look this up?
L36[00:16:00] <Eddi|zuHause> well, then ignore me
L37[00:16:32] <JVFoxy> what did you mix up?
L38[00:17:30] <Eddi|zuHause> which way around the center of mass/lift goes
L39[00:17:57] <JVFoxy> yellow is mass, blue is lift, yellow mass above lift
L40[00:18:04] <Althego> for stability
L41[00:19:05] <JVFoxy> trouble is, it only accounts for lift, not drag... sort of misleading a bit but...
L42[00:19:16] <JVFoxy> ya, think of it as a weather vane
L43[00:19:32] <manifold> That would be drag that matters then.
L44[00:19:50] <JVFoxy> it will always point in direction of wind. If you put aero ahead, it wants to flip around. But because so does your engine if its not setup right, it keeps wanting to flip
L45[00:20:26] <manifold> Flipping is not the problem I'm having at the moment.
L46[00:20:42] <JVFoxy> I woudn't worry too much about drag early on till you get the fairings
L47[00:20:59] <JVFoxy> the lean? how much of a lean is it though?
L48[00:21:17] <manifold> It's very gradual. Initially it's not much.
L49[00:21:30] <JVFoxy> there will be a little wobble intially at launch
L50[00:21:38] <manifold> But eventually you can't compensate for it.
L51[00:21:39] <JVFoxy> ah..
L52[00:21:50] <JVFoxy> do you push over hard early on to get it going east?
L53[00:22:42] <manifold> 10 degrees
L54[00:23:13] <JVFoxy> also its not the reliant version of the LT engine?

L56[00:23:25] <JVFoxy> oop
L57[00:24:25] <JVFoxy> sorry, thought they had pushed over too hard and was having troubles overcoming the ballistics
L58[00:24:40] <umaxtu_mobile> thats what it sounds like
L59[00:25:12] <JVFoxy> finds shouldn't be too big an issue, long as its evenly spaced around and 3 or more

L62[00:29:23] <manifold> Wow. I just lost the whole conversation we were having.
L63[00:29:52] <JVFoxy> sometimes happens...
L64[00:30:05] <manifold> (From memory) Nope, it's the swivel.
L65[00:30:10] <JVFoxy> ok..
L66[00:30:33] <JVFoxy> so.. you launch, pitch a bit. Then its like having a hard time staying pitched up as the flight arcs over?
L67[00:30:43] <manifold> Exactly.
L68[00:30:51] <JVFoxy> you familiar with ballistics?
L69[00:30:59] <manifold> Yes.
L70[00:31:22] <JVFoxy> suggest maybe pitching over half as much after launching see what happens?
L71[00:31:24] <Althego> your rocket turned into lawn dart or shuttlecock
L72[00:31:40] <manifold> Big fins that force a prograde orientation.
L73[00:32:03] <manifold> I wondered if that was the issue.
L74[00:32:11] <JVFoxy> fins only part of the solution, they mostly help keep you pointed in the right direction, counter drag up front
L75[00:32:33] <manifold> So smaller fins may help?
L76[00:33:08] <JVFoxy> can try but I think you falling into the ballistics a little hard. Pitched over too early
L77[00:33:13] <JVFoxy> or too hard
L78[00:33:55] <manifold> I could start my turn later.
L79[00:34:13] <JVFoxy> there is that too, but don't wait too long
L80[00:35:08] <JVFoxy> it'll probably take a number of tries to get a sense of how things work
L81[00:35:59] <manifold> Is it possible to try without fins entirely. Wheels instead?
L82[00:36:25] <manifold> Would that restrict me less to the ballistic trajectory?

L91[00:45:44] <manifold> Ok, so the restoring force to the ballistic trajectory is just a fact of life.
L92[00:46:44] <JVFoxy> well.. you could counter it if not going fast enough, either by thrusting up more, or wings..
L93[00:47:00] <JVFoxy> tends to involve more drag though
L94[00:47:37] <JVFoxy> on your launch.. try a tiny push to the east. A few degrees, see what happens
L95[00:47:48] <manifold> I'll give it a try.
