Mod to deflate Heat Shield not working

[Spazmatastical]

First post here. 

The mod I downloaded says its outdated and should be used in version 1.4.2. I'm in 1.4.5 so I don't think it should matter. It's basically just a config file that tweaks the settings of the heat shield so I can deflate it during missions.

Maybe it's something I've missed when I installed it. Is there another way to do this? The fact that you can't deflate your heat shield is pretty stupid, and my interplanetary ship is begging for it.

Nope, I would try the 1.4.2 version of the game. In Steam you right click KSP, press properties, press betas, then select 1.4.2. The mod may be incompatible with the newer version of the game!

A simple config patch for 1.4.2 should work just fine in 1.4.5.  There's no reason to revert to an older version of the game.  Most likely the mod maker just got sick of updating all the version numbers when Squad was patching 1.4 every other day.

Did you install Module Manager?  All config patches require Module Manager.

 

Edit: Just checked myself.  Works fine in 1.4.5.
