[1.1.3] RealHeat (Minimalist) v4.3 July 3

[NathanKell]

And that (wrong generated values) is another bug fixed by 1.0.5.

[falken]

I'm a little bit confused by this bit of the OP:

"Supports changing aeroFX now. Defaults to making it intense down low, so you can set the normal aeroFX settings to much lower scaling to not have flames on ascent. Supports aeroFXdensityExponent1 (default = 2.0) and aeroFXdensityMult1 default = 90), and the final density passed to aeroFX will be (density^aeroFXdensityExponent1 * aeroFXdensityMult1 + density^PhysicsGlobals.aeroFXDensityExponent) instead of just density^PhysicsGlobals.aeroFXDensityExponent."

I cannot see AeroFXdensityExponent1 or aeroFXdensityMult1 in the physics.cfg? Do I add these myself?

[NathanKell]

They don't go in the Physics.cfg, they go in the RealHeat cfg. It's adding them, they're not stock parameters.

[falken]

Ah right. What should I do to stop heatfx triggering early? I am using kscale2 and it seems a bit off.

[123nick]

is there a "maximalist" version of realheat? compatable with FAR?

[falken]

Before I mess this up, I've added those fields to realheat.cfg:

REALHEAT

{

name = Default

multithreadedTempCurve = True //whether calculation of temperature curves is run in another thread; leave on unless debugging race conditions in temperature curve calcs

aeroFXdensityExponent1 = 2.0

aeroFXdensityMult1 = 90

}

Is this correct?

[NathanKell]

There will be when someone makes one.

falken: You add that to the existing node, not make a new node.

Or make an MM patch in a new cfg

@REALHEAT[Default]

{

%multithreadedTempCurve = True //whether calculation of temperature curves is run in another thread; leave on unless debugging race conditions in temperature curve calcs

%aeroFXdensityExponent1 = 2.0

%aeroFXdensityMult1 = 90

}

[Pulsar]

Now I'm just waiting for temperature reading when right clicking on part from this mod.

Do you found any heating flaws from 1.0.5 yet?

[NathanKell]

If I had found them, don't you think I would have fixed them?

And temperature on right click is done by alt-f12->Physics->Thermal->Show thermal data. Stock KSP.

[NathanKell]

I, uh, forgot to update the thread.

v2
* Updated to KSP 1.0.5.
* Removed AeroFX bits (done by stock now).

[123nick]

is this compatible with FAR? and/or dangerous re-entry? or even realchutes too?

Yes

I've installed RH but having a problem with my engines overheating and have to shut down to prevent an overheat situation. This isnt good when a craft hasnt made orbit yet.

Do you also have DRE installed?

DRE has been known to have issues with this.  I'm not sure if it's just DRE or an interaction with RealHeat, but the problem most likely needs to be fixed on DRE's end.

[NathanKell]

All RealHeat does is change the shock temperature and recalculate the background radiation temperature from that.

[NathanKell]

v3

* Fix an issue with too-high background radiation temperature. This prevents blowups for low-temperature parts, but it may understate radiative heating during lunar-plus reentries. Pending 1.1 for a workaround KSP-side.

Pardon my density issue, but would this change make the use of the aero fx patch mentioned a few pages back redundant/depricated?

@REALHEAT
{
    %aeroFXdensityExponent1 = 1
    %aeroFXdensityMult1 = 0
}

Accidentally a word

[NathanKell]

Indeed it would.

FYI: Just went to download and clicked the download link in the OP and it points to:
https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealHeat/releases/download/v2/RealHeat_v2.zip

I believe the current version is v3? So it would be:

https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealHeat/releases/download/v3/RealHeat_v3.zip

Cheers.

I'm sure it's been asked, and I'll take a second to search after posting (I know, backwards), but how does this play with Deadly Re-Entry?

--edit--

starwasher himself has been here; disregard question

Wooops, I screwed that up. :] Thanks!

[Andem]

Sweet! this doesn't add thirty types of heatshields!

Changelog:
v4

• Update for KSP 1.1.
• Use KSP 1.1 feature of changing convective coefficient rather than shock temp when varying convection behind attached and detached shocks. All these are stated in the cfg for tuning.

[NathanKell]

v4.1

Update for KSP 1.1.2.
