Drag/Heat/Occlusion Problem with 'Mk2 to 1.25m Adapter Long'


Recommended Posts

Version 1.0.2 - Windows

When using the Mk2 to 1.25m Adapter Long in either of the following configurations

under high enough heat loads that the gauges appear, the rear section will experience much higher heating than the front section and will eventually explode.

It seems like the issue has to do with the rear section not being occluded properly in these configurations.

To reproduce this behaviour, fly one of these configurations to 20 km, level out and allow the speed to climb until shock heating begins and the gauges appear. The gauge for the rear section will turn red very quickly and it will explode leaving the other section still intact.

This behaviour is not present with the following configuration.

I got a craft based on this up to 1555 m/s at 22 km and the only thing that overheated and exploded was a winglet.

Happy landings!
