Videogame threads don't belong in /sci/. Take them to /v/ or /vg/ instead.

Mod. I can't imagine calculating it every time you make a modification. Imagine doing it to an asparagus type.

If you don't play with RP-0 and principia you are a pleb, by the way.

videogames do not belong on /sci/

mods
I assume the calculations are doable, but you'd need to take stages off your rocket as you calculate.
you'd also have to account for changing efficiencies in atmosphere, which would mean you'd need to know where you lose each stage in atmosphere

kerbal engineer except if you install RO or RP-0

mod

it's already an incredibly unrealistic simulation. i gain nothing but bad habits if i get into doing it by hand

>>9109120
install faram aerospace and realism overhaul with rss and its pretty realistic, but I would go with orbiter 2016 otherwise.

>>9107506
Fuck off back to >>>/v/ or >>>/vg/egg/

>>9109154
The fact you singled out /egg/ tells me you already know what's up. A smugger response would have been /trash/.

I just eyeball it

of course I use kerbal engineer

>even needing to calculate delta V to know if you have enough to accomplish your mission

Non-brainlets 'know' how much delta V they have just like a person 'knows' where a ball will be in the next few seconds in order to catch it.

calculating dV is fine, the real sin is automated gravity turns
