So of course both of these are slight simplifications, but what is the connection between the two? If the earth is basically a circle, is an ellipse just a parabola stretched around a circle? Is a parabola just an approximation of a tiny part of an ellipse? How high do you have to be before you change your calculations of a trajectory?
The Math ain’t mathing.
KSP is such a great game. Such a shame what happened to KSP2 but that was doomed from the start.
Yeah, KSP2 was botched on so many levels, primarily by Take2.
Looking forward to seeing what comes out of KSA, though. With many of the old devs and modders of KSP1 on board it looks like they have a good start.
I just hope the used a 64-bit engine this time
What are you talking about? KSP 1 has been 64 bits since forever, or was that only on Linux?
