Re-entry and wings burning off.


Recommended Posts

So. I'm struggling with this one - I'm guessing I should just try shallower re-entry angles and multiple aerobraking orbits, but, in case there's another option...

My wings keep burning off my space planes on re-entry. Am I missing something? Any tips on avoiding having planes melt?

Also try deploying your parachutes early on, they are invulnerable to heating effects. (The 'chute bit, not the attached part)

SERIOUSLY, LOL!

I cant believe squad didnt at leats make chutes burn off when deployed? Makes 0 logical sense :D. What are they made out of, no flexible material would be realistically resistant to a 8km/s reentry.

Dunno, but they should really consider making the launchpad out of that stuff. :)
