Haha, loved it, had no difficulty to imagine Jeb with his creepy smile

Boh, I'm French and I like space :-)

For sure, good thing I always take a backup battery From the probe at the North Pole of Eve : 388°, Sun exp : 0.92, Energy flow : 0.00 From the same probe, splashed into one of Eve oceans : 425°, Sun exp : 0.68, Energy flow : 0.04 Temperature measured by a thermometer mounted near one of my solar panels Definitely, temperature can not be the only factor !

Just sent another probe to a more "common" landing site, and yep, during the descent, I could observe the output of my solar panels decreasing with the altitude, until getting very small when I landed. So KSP is indeed modeling this, and using fuel cells to go to Eve would be a good idea ^^

Arf, the screenshot was taken at noon :/ Guess i will have to send another probe, with more batteries and fuel cells. Thank your for your answer !

Hi, I just landed my brand new scientific probe to the north pole of Eve, deployed solar panels, then started to transmit some science, and ... almost ran out of battery ! It appears that solar panels show "Direst sunlight", Sun exposure = 0.75, but energy flow = 0 ! On Kerbin, it works perfectly, and I recharged my batteries with them while orbiting Eve. I tried to warp a bit so the sun would move, but it does not make a difference. Tried to switch vessel too, same thing. Restarted KSP, idem. Do you guys have any idea of what is happening there ? Am I missing something important / stupid ?
