Just a FYI to beat all those is it going to be updated. I have been using this in my 1.3 version KSP with no issues! 

Enjoy!

 

Thanks @Damaske! It takes a long time to get through all the mods that need tested and fixed, so I really appreciate when people post their experiences (good or bad) when a new version arrives.

@pizzaoverhead Is it possible to make main flame tail textures to be not additive, but maybe just like smoke particles?

As we can see in this famous film, that there are definitely short flame tail behind capsule (which is KSP stock flame FX I believe) and a loooong SMOKE tail, because there are nothing to burn (and glow) there...

Now re-entry FX not very accurate :confused:

The famous film is pretty inaccurate in the graphics department for that section. Real life uses additive particles that build up to a glow in the distance, but are quite thin from the side. Look how the trail forms a bright point in the centre of the screen:

To make the effect more accurate, the flames that we have now should be replaced with more of a misty glow. The Space Shuttle's astronauts described it as a white fog over the craft. There should probably be much fewer fragments/sparks too.

This mod should implement plasma tail for comet in the Kerbol Solar System, and so the plasma tail should be at the opposite direction of the sun as it is in real life !

Otherwise, REALLY good mod to add to the game some reality !

 

There are a few mods that already do this. Check out Alternis Kerbol, KerbalKomets, or mods based on Kopernicus.

One thing that would be cool to do (if I ever got time) would be have re-entry affect asteroids (in a new mod): have them be burnt smaller and break up on entry.

So well, it works, but I had it removed two days ago after I "had the feeling it's weird" and then finally reading this:

 

Yep, that's wrong. It's... working too well. It musn't be playing nicely with the new particle system.
