Adding failure modules to heatshields in TestFlight

[Starcatcher2009 - Modder]

They show 100% reliability in the TF UI, even tho I set them to be 1%. Asking for a friend.

The stock 0.625m shield is used for testing. Requires the latest TestFlight version to work.

That's actually normal and your script is working as intended.   Parts like this don't have a 'ratedBurnTime' (only engines have this) so the calculation you are seeing can't tell you how likely it is to fail 'at full burn'.  In effect it's 100% reliable with 0 seconds of use.

However, it will tell you how long it's likely to go before failure (7.27 seconds at 0 du and 14.69 seconds at full du).

[EDIT] Oh and if TestFlight is something you are interested in I would point you to one of my current projects Less Real Test Flight.  It's a stock/stock-alike config and addon mod for the core TestFlight.  It's not intended for RO/RP-1 though.

Thank you for your help. This will be something I'll work on later, sorry if this bothers you since I'm just in my early days of programming.

I don't think I'll be interested in your mod any time, though. Mine works on a different principle.
