Neuntausend

Nevermind, I don't think I can reproduce this now. It happened again this morning, but after I shutdown the computer and rebooted it later, it hasn't happened again. Drag is there now and I just landed the mission I started the evening before. Still was really weird, wish I had recorded that.

Since KSP 1.0 has come out, I updated today and gave it a spin. I am running KSP 1.0.2 x86_64 under gentoo linux and have the current FAR installed. Currently I am flying a Mk 1 Pod in a "stable" orbit with a periapsis at 22.5 and apoapsis at 25km. They go up a kilometer, then they go down one, but I don't lose any speed at all. The atmosphere is hardly slowing me down, despite the constant heating effect. Apparently, the lift is high enough to push the orbit before me up enough to keep me orbiting constantly. It's quite impossible to land a ship that way, because the parachutes come off if I return from a low Kerbin orbit and still have 2000m/s at 10km altitude. Is that something that happens with the new FAR, and can I work around it somehow?
