No reentry heat and aero effects

[Sheppard]

Hello,

I'm running the Steam version of KSP. Here is the list of my mods, all up-to-date:

For a couple of days now I'm not getting reeentry heat. I'm also not getting any aero effects.

For some reason, even after replacing the Physics.cfg file with the original one (fro the Linux thread and also tried by redownloading it with Steam), my convection factor is being reset to 1.100, instead of 6.000; it only happens after entering my saved game. In the main menu, the convection factor is 6.000. That is what I noticed.

I have set the Physics.cfg file to read-only after replacing it and the convection factor was still 1.100 instead of 6.000 after entering my save-game.

Here are my files (Physics.cfg, Modulemanager.Physics, some screenshots, settings.cfg): http://www.4shared.com/get/ORNmZ6Lxce/KSP_files.html

Everything was fine with aero and heat effects until a few days ago. I also encountered a heating bug, in which a component would suddenly overheat and explode. It was suggested to change conduction to 1 and back to normal and it fixed the bug. I think after that the aero and reentry heat broke. Here is the topic with the bug if it helps: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/126664-MAJOR-Heating-Bug?p=2069825&viewfull=1#post2069825

PS: It seems that in the alt+F12 menu, the database used for physics was modulemanager.physics, instead of physics.cfg. Just loaded the physics.cfg file and everything seems to work, for now.

Problem is that every time I load my save-game, modulemanager.physics is being used instead of physics.cfg and I have to manually load physics.cfg. How can I change modulemanager.physics to use the same parameters as physics.cfg?

Hmm, did you set aero effects to zero?

[Sheppard]

I did not mess with the any parameter regarding aero. Only with conduction. And after that I replaced the Physics.cfg file.

I do not understand why the database from Modulemanager.Physics is different from Physics.cfg.

You installed RealSolarSystem (and no Kopernicus ? How can this work ?)

I'm using RSS only as a dependency for Better Atmospheres (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/77523-0-23-5-Better-Atmospheres-V4-April-23rd-2014). With Kopernicus also installed I had no planet textures. So I just deleted the Kopernicus folder (Better Atmospheres does not use Kopernicus, at least not now).

Guess I'll try to download RSS again and the files from Better Atmospheres. Hope it will work, because I really like those clouds, auroras and mists.

Or should I just delete Modulemanager.Physics?

Better Atmospheres is not updated to 1.0, and the RSS for 1.0 does not do what Better Atmospheres needs it to--instead it does a bunch of other things that cause problems for you.

[Sheppard]

And what should I do with Modulemanager.Physics after deleting RSS? Should I delete that as well?

[NathanKell]

MM will recreate it just fine.

Deleting RSS and modulemanager.physics fixed everything. Many thanks for the help!
