You mean draw the eular angles in KSP itself? Or something else.

The other night the missus said to me, "Steubie." I'm going to note here that she was using that purring modulation in her voice that women either know instinctively or learn from cats. "Steubie, in that cruise spreadsheet of yours do you have any shore excursions listed for star gazing. You know the kids would like it." Now I know that if the ship leaves from, or arrives at, LA, Galveston, or Orlando, I have JPL, JSC, and KSC, respectively. But, does anybody have any experience with star gazing on the ship itself either ad-hoc or cruise activity. I know those things are pretty lit up, so it might not be much better than looking up from dense suburbia. My google-fu is only turning up that 30 sec Princess spot, a set of avoid this one cruise/line reviews, and a very general how-to.

They don't get used at the same rate. But, there is proportionality more oxidizer than liquid fuel in the tanks, equivalent to the difference in the usage rates. And in a weird quirk of design and engineering, the sum of the usage rate of liquid fuel and oxidizer, is two mass units per unit time.

Well, can't say as you gave it much of a chance, just under a day. But then, the gripping hand is that you should write the story that _you_ want to write, and that you can write.

It wouldn't... but then it wouldn't really care. All the underlying operating system sees is a key-down notification, and a key-up notification. What it and the application does with the notification (though I think the current vernacular is "event") is their problem. Usually the OS just passes the notification up the chain to the various applications to do with it what they want. All KSP would see would be <insert key + modifiers> being pressed. The information about which keyboard that it came from would not be passed to it. Unless it bypassed the OS and went closer to the metal than is usually worthwhile it wouldn't even be seen.

Windows will tolerate two keyboards quite nicely, since the days of '95 iirc. I haven't pushed it beyond that, that would be silly. However, my guess is that it will probably accept many more.

I don't think it's JSON... it's probably something custom built, with similar logic to JSON, XML, csv, <yul brynner!siam accent> etc. etc. etc. </yul brynner!siam accent> But since is at its core raw text, you can use the basic text reading and parsing functions within language of preference [don't start the language holy-flame wars... again -ed.]. I know they ain't the newest shiniest code library out there. But dang [language -ed.] it, they work, work well, and ain't got no deep hidden bugs... well none of real note. As for has anybody built anything. There is an app/website... that would strip a launched craft out of a persistence file, and put it into a .craft file. I managed to teach Excel how to read .craft file so I could do some heavy bulk edits. <anthony daniels!c-3po>.craft files are similar in most respects to the persistence files<anthony daniels!c-3po>

Define problematic. Don't forget that in atmosphere anything further than 25 km and is still moving will get deleted.

Don't worry about it being an area of study. You're closer to it then I am, who is thinking in terms of rubber sheets and bowling balls, and read a Brief History of Time thirty years ago. I have to try an figure out something with enough string, glue, and gaffer tape for the concepts to hold together till the reader gets to the fridge. Okay... If I'm reading it right, and doing the math right. using the Sun at Earth's orbit I get something like 9.3 10^-60, and using Kerbol at Kerbin's orbit 1.3 10^-57. Either I'm going to have to deal with Ningis, or figure out a renormalization.

I don't think there is a manual for colloquial English. or at least on that I can easily find... or a simple to use one. http://onlineslangdictionary.com/ and https://www.urbandictionary.com/ but you may need to run them through google search vs translate to see if they work. Alternately you could ask in here to see.

Chapter 19 Mortimer stood on the very edge of the seaward side of the VAB. The last of the night’s sea breeze carried the iodine smell of the ocean. The updraft from the building carried the ozone-machine oil smell of the interior. The sun had not yet breached the horizon. Only one light remained in the eastern sky. Duna? Eve? Minmus? The sky had never interested him. Science had never interested him. Engineering had never interested him. He had learned them out of the necessity of his job. Only his numbers and tables had ever interested him. The sun breached the horizon. He looked at the primary Launchpad. He knew its construction cost, its maintenance costs. Its eventual replacement cost. It sat empty. The only reason he could do this. It would be filled in a week. The pad would be filled in a week, another commercial launch. He knew its cost, its design amortization, its revenue. The sun rose higher. He knew the VAB’s shadow would cross the prairie to the berm. Was his shadow visible or was it lost in the edges of the VAB’s. The sun rose half way out of the horizon. He felt its cold light on his face and hands. He knew the cost, the revenue, and the numbers of everything with the KSP. He knew the cost of what he was about to do. He lifted his arms straight out from his sides. Would anyone look up? Did anyone look up anymore? Would they see him if they did, or would he be just as invisible as if he was back in his office? What would they think if they did see him? He shifted forward. He stood on the edge, only on the balls of his feet. He leaned forward slightly. He felt gravity start to pull him further forward. He felt the breeze feebly try to push him back. He surrendered to gravity. He pushed off as he fell forward. He slowly rotated forward as he fell. He heard only the sound of the rushing air. He felt only the pull of it against his clothes. This must, almost, be what it is like up there. He closed his eyes. He fell faster. He felt the tug of the cord on his ankles. He snapped vertical, his head to the ground. He felt the cord pulling him, slowing him to a halt. For an instant he felt the presence of the tarmac, smelt the spilt lubricants. The elastic in the cord jerked him back up. He bounced up and down a few times before stopping. He swayed slightly in the turbulent breeze. He sighed and opened his eyes. He looked down ten meters to the ground below. He took the slack out of the line attached to his waist. He gave it a sharp tug. He slowly was lowered to the ground. On the ground he sat up and unhooked his ankles. He stood and looked at the top of the VAB. He sighed again, another cost. Was it worth it? He walked towards the fire escape on the side. Not according to the tables, the numbers. But in the way that had such things always disquieted him; the way they escaped the numbers and tables; it was.

I'm working to try to firm up some of the technobabble background of some of my KSP fan-fic work. Or at least figure out if it doesn't introduce any inconsistencies within the setting. Which translated into almost English means: it can go 10^3x (I've yet to figure out what x is) times the speed of light as long as the slope of the curvature of space-time is less than 0.10 The last half is still pretty technobabbly. But it generates a couple of questions. How far out from something like the Sun would the curve of space-time be less than 0.10? How do you find out? I think I know the second answer. I will need to figure out the four gradients of the field equations with respect to each dimension of space time. Assemble those into a matrix and then find the norm, probably the Frobenius norm of that matrix. Which now brings me to my list of questions: 1. Does my chain of vector calculus, and matrix algebra make sense, or at the least a series of valid operations? That portion of my education is long ago and far away. I know I'm in for a big world of hurt to perform the calculations. 2. Does there exist a example/explanation on how to calculate the gravity field around a body using general relativity? 3. Do I need to approach this using the general relativity? Can I get away with using the much simpler Newtonian Equations? Half of my reflex is that, yes I can as the differences between Newtonian Gravity and GR Gravity only really begin to appear when your playing close to the sun. 4. Have I gone and chucked several different and unrelated concepts and phrases and chucked them into the idea-puree maker?

Rover is the presenter at the front of the story, vs the voice of the story Nanba. The shift from current to 30 years ago with a different view point tossed me for a loop. A suggestion for secondary reading. "Fallen Angels" by Niven, Pournelle, and Flynn. It might provide some more reference points for the Jet-age stasis culture that they are in. "kob" and "kirl", it took a while to firm up what you meant there, even in the context. especially when placed next to "dog". This one's trickier. You've got cultural details in there, but you've skipped on describing them. You may need to go back and drop in some of the exposition that you've cut out. You want to aim for dilating door, and away from infodump, and avoid as you know. The hearing scene for example.

A quick read on the first few paragraphs. There's work to be done, sure... certainly it feels like some tighten up of the text can be done. for example: could tighten up to Though that tightening could shift the voice of the piece away from Rover's voice. Much more comment will have to wait till I can read it through on something easier. This lappy doesn't lend itself well to reading.

Possible yes... worth the effort probably not. Depending on your end concept you might have better mileage with something like this: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14662

I used to be a gamer. Used to have a new complete collection of PC Gamer (USA) mags from when it started up to about 2011. But now I just play Minecraft, KSP, Civ3, OpenTTD, with some occasional Fragile Allegiance, Space Empires 4, Tropico, and Railroad Tycoon 2 thrown in.

In semi-stock I think you can run the body arbitrarily small using the rescale mods. the principa mod... I think may have a different answer. But, I'm not sure what it might be. Of course that is for very strict definitions of orbit.

coolness. i'd leave it in orbit and try to never overwrite the file. to have something glitchy like that without hackiness would be awesome.

A screen cap from a documentary about the first successful attempt at getting a kerbal orbit. Looks like the only source I've got was captured with the close captions turned on and and the subs hard coded. I've got to agree with the pilot there. The first time you see it when you pan the camera around.

According to the devs itis it is PID. At least I recall having read that somewhere.

I have finally figured out what I can do with poor forgotten Mort for my greenfields series. Now, I need a detail check. In the morning does the wind blow off the sea? It's been a while since I've been near the ocean at the crack of dawn... dang I miss that.

My cra~~aziest mission. Sweet cuppin' cakes. Let me tell you about it... <long rambling explanation that gets increasingly weird> and then Jeb says "Eh! Steve"

Only if you hear it with a solid Yiddish accent.

KSP the T-Shirt KSP the Mug KSP the Mousepad KSP the Calendar... yes they could do one of those kinds of calendars too. KSP the Colouring Book KSP the Lunchpail KSP the Flamethrowa! the kids really love that one. The merch is where the real money from the game is made.

I've hare some luck with OBS. But, I don't have the graphics or CPU horses to run it and KSP and get a good frame rate capture. Still looking for something better. Long live my seven year old potato powered toaster.
