enabling heat/atmospheric damage on 0.9 savegame

[seyss]

Hello,

I'd like to continue my 0.9 savegame. I load it fine but I guess the new settings are not applied.

How do I apply them to my old savegame?

Thanks.

If you load any save on a 1.0.2 KSP, all features of 1.0.2 will be in your save.

If you want to play with KSP 0.9 and still have heat/atmospheric features, mods are your friends (FAR and Deadly Reentry)

Since I'm using KSP 1.0.2 and loading an old savegame, I am wondering if re-entry heating is enabled cuz I drop down fast in Kerbin without a heatshield and my command pod takes no damage.

It is enabled if you didn't deactivate it in the settings.

1.0.2 reentry heat is far weaker than 1.0 so you may not need a heat shield for LKO reentries, but it is still there

I just dropped straight down from a 1000km orbit around Eve (command pod + parachute) and only lost the parachute due to damage.. I wish this was more real

You can rise heat reentry up to 120% in settings menu (I think, or it may be in the debug menu)

If you want something that behaves a bit more like the 1.0 reentry heat (not that far off DRE in 0.90), you could use the reentry heating rebalance mod. It does make heatshields slightly heavier to overcome a bug with them, but otherwise it works pretty well
