Since the forums are back up, we would like to mention that we do not recommend this thread for posting questions about Principia anymore. While there is a great deal of useful information in past discussions, the forums have become too unreliable to provide a useful venue for getting support from fellow users or from the developers. The SUPPORT file on GitHub lists the recommended options for getting help with using the mod or for reporting bugs.

We have hotfixed the release; if you downloaded Jordan prior to this post, please click on the link in the OP or the GitHub readme to download it anew (the version string in the Principia UI should say 2023121300-Jordan-0-ge51928f832188fd4eeedd50e33d11218e1cd44eb, not 2023121300-Jordan-0-g9e72cb593eb3e8b37b1ae2bf29a6a08963d1c0b3). We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are aware of multiple bugs with this release: deleting a flight plan results in a crash, and orbit analysis on the flight plan no longer works. We are trying to understand and resolve these issues. Once they are resolved, the release will be patched as others have been in the past (most recently 伊藤 six months ago). We apologize for the inconvenience.

For the new moon (lunation number 295), the new release (Jordan) is out. Performance with high part count vessels has been improved. In some limited circumstances, Principia now displays collisions between the prediction and the surface of a celestial at the right location, when seen in the surface frame. This is still work-in-progress. Other bugs have been fixed. See the change log for more details.

For the new moon (lunation number 295), the new release (賈憲) is out. Local optimization of manœuvres has been added to assist in tuning flybys. The issue underlying the cryptic error message improved in the preceding release has been fixed. A three-year-old issue in our handling of rotation with stock aerodynamics has been fixed. Other bugs have been fixed. See the change log for more details.

A major issue was found in the previously released build for 伊藤: creating a manœuvre while the plotting frame was X–Y–Orbit would cause a crash, see #3689. As a result, we have hotfixed the release; if you downloaded 伊藤 prior to this post, please click on the link in the OP or the GitHub readme to download it anew (the version string in the Principia UI should say 2023061805-伊藤-0-g2771ba5fa7f1d43341a5ca70adbd7f296449c300, not 2023061805-伊藤-0-gc3140c5f2bf7a8438e41cd5e3bcfcb2fd3f52356). We apologize for the inconvenience.

A major issue was found in the previously released build for ابن الهيثم: switching to the target-centred frame would cause an immediate crash, see issue #3653. As a result, we have hotfixed the release; if you downloaded ابن الهيثم prior to this post, please click on the link in the OP or the GitHub readme to download it anew (the version string in the Principia UI should say 2023051916-ابن الهيثم-0-gd3ebe8f338fefbc96249e305fba493979fd67f32, not 2023051916-ابن الهيثم-0-g9f3105efa9ead54ad17567161fb59e5094829f7d). We apologize for the inconvenience.

For the new moon (lunation number 289), the new release (ابن الهيثم) is out. A new rotating and pulsating reference frame has been added; it is in this frame that the Lagrange points are defined for the elliptic restricted three body problem. When this frame is used as the plotting frame, the equipotentials of the centrifugal plus gravitational potential are drawn, so that the Lagrange points can be seen. This provides valuable context when planning low-energy transfers and other trajectories involving the Lagrange points. The following animation by @Al2Me6 illustrates the case of a ballistic capture around the Moon, where the trajectory can be seen to fall into the Moon’s potential well. See the change log for more details.
