Another unpleasant work day... just some unsorted thoughts: Seeing again and again how our customers are treated, I really would like to terminate my employment contract. I do have significant moral issues screwing up people, that is seriously immoral for me. But that is what my by boss expects from me. The question then is, do I try to stay in this job which allows me to feed my family? That is my responsibility. Or do I follow my moral compass? That is my consciousness, me being able to look into the mirror tomorrow. Almost, albeit on a much smaller scale, feels like the (in)famous excuse "I only followed orders".

Thank again guys for your kind kind words, it helps a lot to know that there are good, normal people

Most excellent, makes me happy, literally!

Thank you for your kind kind words @adsii1970, it means a lot to me. I still don't get it. Five times today I spent substantial time and a lot of energy with this issue (interrupted by other issues from other customers). Three hours, out of nine of my work day. Poorly engineered software (Terminal Server, anyone?). An incompetent and ignorant "support engineer", twice. And yes, that particular "support engineer" didn't understand any of the very basics (Terminal Server, Roaming Profiles, Folder redirection, non-persistent environment, or that users don't have admin rights - just: nothing), nor could speak either German or English in an understandable manner. An unhappy customer. Totally in his rights, of course, but his complaints aimed at me? Then, to whom he could complain? His 3rd party software vendor? They only offer a phone waiting queue where you can listen to some music, for minutes, if not hours. Finally solved the core issue myself. Lastly, an older guy from the vendor's company ironed out the final kinks (like: to be able to import the data from the old version to the new one, the old one needed to be upgraded). Then the icing of the cake: my boss telling me "that's just your job". Something must be wrong with me, having issues and taking offense here. Modern times, I guess. If there is one thing we humans do excel in, amongst and foremost of every other creature, it is to make life for every living being on this planet as miserable as possible. Maybe is this what being "human" means.

And, at the end of the day, you report to your supervisor that you're happy to have resolved a tricky customer's problem. Only to get "that's your job" for an answer. I feel so totally motivated...

Who is @ERROR 404? Maybe @swjr-swis knows?

Means the issue is resolved then?

Interesting... from 1.7.3 to 1.8 Squad changed the Unity version, pretty big change, take a look here https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Version_history Almost looks like that, yes. Which also would explain why the game is so laggy. Then: why would KSP not use GPU RAM if it runs on the dedicated GPU??? For comparison, this is how the workload on my graphics card in my PC looks:

Sarbian's kind of humor, I like it

Yeah, for such longer burns an orbit a bit higher is advisable, you're right.

Lower: Oberth effect.

Timezone maybe? I had them today, in all their colorful glory

Sorry to disappoint you, it's only ol' ugly me Is @Curveball Anders online, maybe?

First time I saw that, I had exactly the same reaction. Guess that's the idea behind this "prank"

I don't understand this, CPU MB??? I you mean that KSP takes 2500 MB RAM, that's not much at all. What is, per Taskmanager, the KSP memory consumption, and how much RAM does your PC have? Quite possible that your PC is low on memory and needs to use the pagefile a lot, which naturally slows things down a lot. And yes, the newer KSP versions do need more memory than the older ones, new textures, new part models, it all adds up. As @Curveball Anders said, we'll need the logfiles to get a better idea what is going on.

Well said and true. If possible and reasonable/required, I usually try to get as much energy out of the system as I can, i.e. entering the atmo from a low Eve orbit, instead of slamming in directly say from an interplanetary transfer.

Hope I understand you correctly, you're directly diving in Eve's atmo, not from a orbit of say 100x100 km? From the latter, I never had issues to land any probes with heat shields, lowing the Pe to some 70k.

Sounds contra productive to me, we already have more than enough issues currently with the way things are handled now. Will not sign.

What idiot told you to repeat my silly mistakes? Glad you could sort this out, happy flying then

Not the best thread for this, I know, but I have to set you on ignore @aezarkones, your flashing avatar image causes me vertigo, nausea. If you'd change the avatar, I'd be happy to unblock you.
