Engines and precoolers still glowing red 6 days after touchdown, temp goes up when un-warping.


Recommended Posts

There is a visible red/orange glow on my sabre engines and attached precoolers six days after landing a spaceplane back at KSC. Turning on the debug menu shows that they are 20 degrees warmer than the parts around them (~340K vs ~320K, ambient temp ~300K).

If I turn on rails warp the temperature of these parts drops to near ambient, but when I come out of rails warp it returns to ~340K+.

I don't think these parts should take so long to return to ambient temperature, nor do I think that a temperature 40K above ambient should cause those parts to glow red. This may not be a "bug" exactly, it could be the intended behaviour, but it doesn't really make a lot of sense and it sort of spoils the aesthetic of craft if they glow "by part" for so long.

In any case, I'm pretty sure the temperature going back *up* when coming out of rails warp is a bug.

Quality is poor but should demonstrate what I'm describing:
