Looking for help 1.22

[AnotherSlySwine]

hello if anyone could please help. this has been a persistent problem for me. in version 1.13 you cant reenter kerban atmosphere too steep or you will eather burn up or hit the ground. in version 1.22 i can fly straight up for 11Mm (or past the mun) and come straight back down and slow down no problem, am i not seeing a setting or something? it was way more realistic in 1.13 but 1.22 has alot of new features. (All tests were conducted with no mods) any info would be handy. i really wanna try out the new stuff. (the wheels for sure) but am saddened by this apparent change.

atmosphere seems to work for me, perhaps a bug?

Drag and heat have been tinkered with in the last version or two, making re-entry less hazardous than it was for a while. If you want, though, when starting a new save you can customize the difficulty options and increase e-entry heat to make it more like it used to be. 

Meanwhile, welcome to the forum , and your question has been moved to the Gameplay Questions subforum.

Hmm, did not notice re-entry being much "easier" than it was before. I mean, it could be. It's not like it's especially hard with stock settings, even with a terrible descent profile as long as you're equipped properly... but I can also say that you can definitely burn your ship up real good if you underestimate it, too.

Some specific parts have been made less heat-tolerant. I have lots more trouble reentering mk1 crew cabins now than in 1.1.3, unless I'm super careful.

The game difficulty settings have a slider for Re-Entry heating, ranging from 0% to 120%. You can change this setting in the ESC menu if you go to Settings > Difficulty Options. Maybe you accidentially moved this slider. Otherwise you can try to pull it up to max and see if it feels better for you.

Re-entry heat is much more subject to part location now - if you have a mk1 inline cockpit a few modules back from the front, it's pretty hard to blow up,  but even the tank like mk3 gets hot on a normal re-entry due to being at the front.
