Engine exhaust damage

[dimitriy]

Hello everyone. I've found one strange bug in 1.0.4. There is no engine exhaust damage. In 1.0.2 version something like that could destroy fuel tank in less than a second. In 1.0.4 everything i did cause no result. Is this only my problem?

Hi dimitriy, try opening the flight log (alt+F3) and look for damage being reported.

It has notes about damage, but I meant total destruction of the part (fuel tank in this example).

Then it's doing damage, please keep going till it overheats or is damaged enough to explode, lots of things were changed for 1.0.x and parts blowing up too easily was one of them

Well, here is my results.

I was trying to overheat lots of parts with different engines and their amount. But I failed. I'm a little bit disappointed.

Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but things change, aero and heat were a very big change and KSP isn't a game about blowing up your own craft with your engine exhaust gases, so stuff like that isn't deliberately modeled.

If you like, please see the support stickys, you will find a bug tracker link where you can report this issue.

I agree. But the lack of explosions during flight because of it deprives KSP from quite a big amount of FUN.

Anyway - thanks for your answers.
