Did the air intake logic change in 1.0.5?

[spiritplumber]

Hello!

I was making an atmo scoop with a compressor (the idea being, let a probe fill up an air tank during aerobraking that can then be used for RCS, we're looking at this IRL with Alpha Cubesat) and got it to work in 1.0.4 - barely - but then 1.0.5 came and now the air intakes just don't seem to react at all above 36000 meters or so.

The changelog makes no mention of this, it just says that air intake resource is now hidden.

Is this intended behavior, and is there a configuration option to change that magic number or do I have to write a plugin?

Thanks!

The air intakes got an overhaul.

Edit: I'd use a part with moduleResourceConverter to convert intakeAir into another resource, maybe "compressedAir". That should work. Intake air is still there, just hidden. Edited November 16, 2015 by Chaos_Klaus

Thanks! THe problem is that I get a "resource not present" above roughly 36Km on Kerbin, even if I make the intakes have unrealistic areas, they get nothing - this was not the case in 1.0.4

I'm going to relay my finding to that thread!

set
kPaThreshold = (desired threshold for intake starting, in kPa)

like, say
kPaThreshold = 0

(this goes in the MODULE).

Thank you! I had come up with a solution involving a ResourceHarvester, a generator, and a dummy resource.
