Will old shuttles function in 1.2?

[nascarlaser1]

Hi guys! I have 1.0 currently.

I would like to know if there were any atmosphere updates since 1.0 and 1.2, or other kinds of updates that would make both my ships or my saves stop working when I update to 1.2. I have 1 sandbox save, and a bunch of ships in them, most manned, though 1 or 2 are probe, which I can always slap a simple antenna on them since they are both atmospheric.

 

Thanks!

I've carried my Buran Shuttle through multiple updates (including 1.0) with no issues apart from having to re-route fuel through the ET.  Having said that this is a big update and there are some aero changes (pointer objects experience less drag while blunt objects will experience more drag) so it's not guaranteed that they will function exactly the same (or indeed work I guess?).

When 1.2 hits, boot that Shuttle up and see what happens is my advice!  Oh yeah and check into the Shuttle Challenge thread (selfless plug):

As sais as above, the changes are that big.

But it also depends on which mods you used in your shuttle..

And if you where using FAR, I think the Aero changes won't be very different.

all shuttles are currently stock 100%. I use 1.0, so now mods for me yet :P. Once 1.2 drops though, time for KAS/KIS! I might also get a few visual mods.

On the actual pre-release ver. 1.2, Devs increased global drag multiplier from 6 to 8... a lot of 1.1.3 SSTOs designs are not able to get to space because rapiers can not reach their optimal speed...
Shuttles can still go but with a small loss in Δv...
