Hello guys,
I was building my XCOM airplane and noticed that adding kerbal seats inside the cargo bay would slow down my ship a lot. I toggled the drag overlay (with closed cargo bays) and found this:
I've noticed that parts inside payloads always generate drag, regardless if they're enclosed or not.
I proceeded to test a simple design, with only 5 parts
And noticed the same thing happens to the cubic strut inside the fairing, it also produces drag:
I looked around a bit and found someone saying that if you enable Aero Data in Action Menus (in debug window) then you can see if a part is shielded or not.
I tried designs will all sorts of payloads and all of them gave the same results for parts inside: Shielded? False.
I would like to know if this is some sort of bug? Am I doing something wrong? :( Thanks!
