  1. Hello, I really enjoy all of Nertea's mods! Very impressive work! Since the latest update, I've had an issue in the VAB with the System Heat simulation when using nuclear rocket engines like the NERV and some others from Near Future mods. What happens is the heat Total Generation will fluctuate between two values, which correspond to the heat output of the engine and the heat output minus the exhaust cooling of the engine, causing the total system temperature to fluctuate. When the simulation rate is around 40x or 100x, the fluctuations are very rapid. This doesn't happen with the electrical nuclear reactors. Only the engines. But if I slow the simulation rate to 1x after placing the engine, the fluctuation (sometimes) stops, and other variations in the order of placing the engine and changing the simulation speed can make the fluctuations stop or start again. Is this intended or is this a potential bug? I'm happy to post a video or logs if you'd like to check it out. As a side note, I was finding it difficult to figure out how to use the nuclear engines in my ssto's and small crafts after this latest update because if I shut the engine down the usual way, going from full throttle directly to zero throttle at the end of a burn, then the system flux would immediately jump from 40kw to 2000kw (for the NERV for example) and by the time my radiators cooled the engines their cores were half destroyed. But I figured out that by down throttling the engine gradually I could avoid this, and also by making the engine flame out by switching mode without the necessary propellants.
