Damage during flight not logged

[ceauke]

Hi guys

During a flight, my parachutes went red and needless to say, failed to deploy when required. Shortly after I lost the crew.

However, in the log of the disaster, there was no mention of the loss of parachutes that happened much earlier during the flight.

Is there a way to enable this?

When I replayed the mission, I saw that there were in fact text on the live gameplayscreen (with log formatting) saying that the parachutes were damaged because of heat. I didnt see it the first time during the flight, but I'm still expecting that it should be in the log.

Am I missing something? Is there maybe a mod with more comprehensive logging?

don't deploy chutes above 250 m/s

Look at the chute icon in the staging stack on the left of the screen, if the square is red you are too fast.

are you sure? I thought when it's red it already broke? I thought I got the text onscreen that it got destroyed when it went red. not when I staged it.

Will check again.

If what you're say is correct, I can understand that they wont log the redness.

But still at the time of parachute breaking, whether that is when I deploy or when it goes red. If I lose a chute, I think it should be logged. no?

red CHUTE (in gray square) = is broken, or used.

red SQUARE (w/ white chute) = too fast to deploy

Square turns green around 270-250 m/s meaning "OK now"

red parachute is cut - it has always been like that.

red background is unsafe to deploy - this is 1.0.5 addition.

ok, I had a test now again.

I install some open sola arrays and launch:

- arrays break off, no message

- confirmed what you said about red chute. I open it when I should and that breaks with message on the screen about overheating

- then I crash the whole thing into the ground. ONLY when I have crew in the craft do I get the flight log.

It starts with the liftoff, suggesting that all other events will be covered. No mention of the lost arrays, or the chute. Just really what happened at the time of crew loss.

If I let poor jeb to some EVA and solo crashing, I get the log for him but nothing for the empty vessel.

I really thought the log will show other damages. E.g. sometimes you see youtube guys failing to launch because hte rocket collapsed under it's own weight or so. Would be handy to see what broke first. For me it all started when I didnt notice the parachute message and couldnt understand why they wouldnt open. Mean time I triggered it successfully but they were immediately destroyed.

green = risky

Normal=safe
