[SE2] Twice Gravity Without Dampeners?
Submitted
I tested falling dozens of times and I keep getting an observed acceleration of about 19 (18.5-19.5) on Verdure.
In a ship and not in a ship. With no mods at 2.03km height. At 3.33km with a mod that allows speed up to 900m/s.
Confirmed by both time and distance, and timing and end speed.
I have the same bug
I would tend to agree with this observation. I tested some, was testing falling from 2km to 1km.
Worked out Verdure gravity about 2G:
sqrt ( 2 * 1000 / X ) = ~10 seconds
X = 20
Final velocity is ~195m/s.
It should be like this for 1G:
sqrt ( 2 * 1000 / 9.8 ) = ~14.3 seconds
Final velocity should be ~140m/s.
The other way to look at it is from falling from rest (below) rather than time taken (above):
Should be:
height = 0.5 * 9.8 * 10²
height = 490
To get to us falling 1000m in 10 seconds it would need to be:
height = 9.8 * 10²
height = 980
Is your falling from rest function missing a *0.5?
