  1. I thought I had tried this config out with FAR and found it okay, but that was "way back" (heh! :rolleyes:) in 0.25, and FAR and NEAR have both been updated (and not just for compatibility) since then. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do any testing for a few days yet. That said, I remember reading in the Deadly Reentry OP that main chutes can be safely deployed in the neighborhood of 3 km, so it may be that you'll need to increase the deployment altitude (both pushing the 'stage'-button sooner and increasing the multiplier in the patch -- to 4x?) to give the chutes more time to work.

    EDIT: And also reduce the deployment time multiplier for additional effect (which it sounds like you've tried on its own) -- with stock aero, 50x kept G-force below 5 G's, if I recall my testing correctly.

    The chutes semi-deploy around 22K, which I believe is because they are linked to the atmospheric pressure. Full opening (default 500m) will not go any higher than about 1000m. It almost seems to be a MM bug, but that's a pretty stable/simple product so I'm leaning toward user error. Do I need to erase the MM cache files every time I change something? I've set the multiplier higher, up to *=8 (which should be 4000m), and still get the default behavior.
