Post number 18 000 in this thread. Where's my award for awesomness?

What, you're not basking in the pride of your acheivement?

On a side note, there's hope for the RCT to catch Urwmpe's post count! Only, what, 4500 to go?

Dream on. :rofl:

Every time I see your name, I ask myself "Can this guy reach 5,000 posts in 6 months? :rofl:"

The local power company is sticking to traditions. Less than 72 hours into 2015 and we've had one power cut. Only 45 minutes this time, so things may be improving.

If you add in your final post count from the old m6 forum you're pretty much untouchable.

You are right... time for a server crash or something similar. :lol:

Well, 6 months are 180 days, and 5000/180 are "just" 28 posts per day. But on the average, I do around one third of that.

Id love to know what your max posts in one day has been :lol:

Hard to tell. Usually I need around 15 minutes for a post (average), much more if I also start some fact checking in the WWW before I write something wrong, so, there is a maximum of about 24 x 4 = 96 posts on a single day.

I would say, around 40 is a good guess during the more heated M6 times.

I have questions

Is there a maximum size limit for transhab/inflatable modules? And is there a maximum diameter for docking ports?

 

[ISProgram]

I had no problems with DXT1, DXT5 and 888-8. I use DXTBmp converter.

Well - Measure tool in 3dsmax or GMax shows you center of mass for model assuming consistent density of your model

Nice to know...but I don't really use 3dsmax or GMax. I do however, know the distribution of mass in my rocket stage (spreadsheet), so I should be able to do it.


While we're still on this, I joined on 2/5/14 and have a total of 425 posts, if you include this one. It's been about 333 days since I joined.

425 posts / 333 days = 1.276276276276276 posts per day, which is somewhat accurate, if you don't include the days I never logged on...

As a baseline, Urwumpe joined on 2/6/08 and has a total of 25,797(!?) posts. It's been about 2524 days since he joined.

25797 posts / 2524 days = 10.22068145800317 posts per day, which seems to be very accurate, if not already.

There is a standard for docking ports, sort of. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docking_and_berthing_of_spacecraft"]Docking and berthing of spacecraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

According to what? I suppose making one the size of a planet would pose some challenges...

:lol:

But practically, it doesn't mean that much, at least to me. I actually feel pretty ashamed because of the post count, because I usually try to write longer posts and add more content, than just abusing the forum as a slow chat room.

Also, what ever the 797 will be, it will be a great plane or the last Boeing. :lol:

He's slipping. He used to be up at 12 posts per day. :lol:

Okay, calculating the COG for my stage. One issue is that I don't know where to put the reference datum...or even understand the very concept of a datum.

Any tips?

 

[mojoey]

Try a 240z for starters.

Just define one arbitrary point in your mesh that you define as "Here is the reference". If you have a single-mesh add-on, it is recommended to use the geometric center of the mesh.

Geometric center is simply: Xc = 0.5 * (Xmin + Xmax), Yc = 0.5 * (Ymin + Ymax), etc.

For more complex meshes, you should again use a point that makes your life easier... for example the CoG of the final payload or the point where your rocket rests on the launch pad.

I now own a car. I'd been driving the thing for almost a decade, but I just bought out my parents' and brother's shares.
