I would like to candidate my script (finds the Luna launch window, launches, takes any craft to orbit, lunar injection burn, orbits luna and lands there with a suicide landing burn) . I also have a very simple sandbox with 2 satellites, one in geostationary for Long reference and the other shot off the solar system with 90 degrees inclination representing polaris for Lat reference, along with my SR2 GPS craft device it would return Longitude and Latitude if the capsule is level and oriented properly.
Why do you specify a certain amount of delta V for a specific maneuver? I tell the rocket what to do and that's what it should do. I know I don't do circularization the classic way (mine is easier but not used by space agencies) . It doesn't give more than couple of kilometers difference between apogee and perigee but it does crazy spin in process that I prefer to do it without first stage weight.
@CasualCrusade
I realised that after doing my first luna gravity assist, I realised I need more delta v than when I do my Mars burn from Droo . I can't exactly grasp the mechanism or concept that makes less perigee to be more effective at injection burn
That sounds close to what I would have done until I came to the idea of revolving command chip (the basic principle of the SR2 radars) , I use the window parameter you mentioned , 30 degrees. I include the radar in my craft , find the direction to Luna and then measures the remaining angle (if you just missed the window by 5 degrees then you'll need Droo to rotate 355 degrees) I add around 7 degrees before the launch window (time to orbit). Based on the angle remaining and the length of lunar day, I order a time wrap and launch. The rest is easy but full with tiny obstacles that sometimes don't appear until I encounter them by accident through varying conditions
@TopSecret2 but then I'll only have that information during noon . Anyway, I've built the required constellation sandbox and the device as craft with instructions when it starts. It nicely accurate unless the ground is uneven
@pedro16797 maybe I've done something the wrong way because the orbits toggle off in the other games but not when I start ESS, but hey if it's just me then at least I know I gotta play around with options and probably trying to install it again
I have an issue with ESS , of course it was a bless to go to other planets moon, something I dreamed of since I got this game but there's some bugs
1. Other crafts orbit doesn't toggle off
2. Planets/moons are a little bit dark during day time and can't enjoy the wonderful details that you put in.
I agree, there should be a command in vizzy called "use command chip pilot sitting" . I wanted to upload crafts but they required special autopilot sittings so I didn't because it will only piss off those who download it
I know another guy did it as well as me. I can give you the program and you can downland my navigation device "LWFAL" from my page which finds the launch window and timewrap towards it and launch. Or you can do full throttle from stable Droo orbit with 36,000 km apogee. From there it's easy, watch my video "The Luna job automated"
That's the question that I've been asking and I think I received answers that I didn't understand. We need the experienced folks to explain these things...preferably in simple English
@TopSecret2 we still didn't try having the command chip right on the CG , I believe this will stop the swaying , but as for the almost perfect circular orbit I wouldn't worry if my perigee switched with apogee when it's couple of 100 m difference, I don't think it matters even in real space travel
@pedro16797 I just wanted that stage2 continues on its program to orbit while stage1 performs return and landing program but they'd be disconnected at that point. I'm not even sure what's the use for 2 chips on same rocket if not something like that (which I did fail to achieve)

@Panthadroo can we do that broadcast thing? I thought it allow us to manage control through multiple command chips but I couldn't make use of that. Please tell me it's possible...and of course, how? :)
I did some good work with vizzy too but I'm sure I'm using complicated lines to compensate for my lack of knowledge with vizzy. That being said, I hope you can explain your following segment in simple English "subsytem to keep variables up to date, and then reference those in memory variables rather than calls to craft properties"
@NoIDontWanna oh ok i got it, well i said the rotation "feeds in" velocity to the calculation, the orbit itself doesn't change. it the display because the speed feed comes from the capsule , if a rocket has command chip exactly in the center of mass then rotation will not affect the displayed orbit. and regarding minimum orbit i think it's not more than 58.25 km , never decayed above that unless it require several hours/days which i never done
I think the lowest orbit is between 58 exactly and 58.25 , I'm sure it was 58.25 but recently I think it no decay happened above 58 . The orbit nodes flickering can happen (even in less perfect circular orbits) when the RCS is on or when you change orientation even by gyro as it tends to swivel the command pod/chip around thus feeds in increase/decrease in velocity and its vector into the calculations that displays the orbit. That's my hypothesis. Not sure if it's correct.
@Enroy
alright, i'm there but the drop down menu is set to "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" and has no other option :( ...... oh wait , i closed the game and now got "beta public beta testing" and there's something downloading
@huuminberd I know it's somewhere in steam. Just don't know where that is/how to activate/enable/download ...etc
4.4 years ago@huuminberd where's that experimental branch ?
4.4 years ago@DeboStreams
4.4 years agoAnd now I feel stupid 😂 thanks a lot man. That works
I have no clue what that is although it sounds like my radar craft which can lock on and tracks any target and casts a beam of light on it
4.4 years agoI don't understand. Is that supposed to be like Spacex booster return?
4.4 years agoNo comments 😂

4.4 years agoThe craft is released and continuously ceiling enhanced to my best. When I'm tired of it I'll move to next challenge... rendezvous and dock 😈😈😈
4.4 years ago@Rizkyman I do have that program and required device, check my craft uploads
4.4 years ago@Rizkyman i dont know much orbital mechanics , just let me know what script you need and i may have it in my list
4.4 years ago@Rizkyman fifth UpVote means will do the video soon
4.4 years agoLol , I'd have contributed earlier

4.4 years ago@Jaime731 only the system start up and the Luna DeOrbit/landing . We don't wanna rocket launch or land when we're not paying attention

4.4 years ago@Jaime731 unfortunately I can't select targets as crafts, only planets 😭 , this doesn't make any sense. Why not crafts?
4.4 years ago@Jaime731 Jamie...You're the man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
4.4 years ago@Jaime731
4.4 years agoI thought I didn't see it but in fact it doesn't exist. You're talking about another game
@Jaime731 wow man, you're my hero. Where can I find it

4.4 years ago@AwesomeCronk I'm with you, let's wait and see, either someone shows us where's the trick or vizzy upgrade solves this

@DPSAircraft
4.4 years agoThe tinker panel gives additional option to program a part, which is again useless same as a programmed chip not being set to primary
@DPSAircraft what's that and how can I find it?
