QuiescentRabbitt Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes OS: Windows 10 | CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x | GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | RAM: DDR4 16GB 3200Mhz When putting a heatshield on your craft in the VAB, you can select how much ablator it has, and lower the amount in order to reduce weight. If you do this, the heatshield will continue to look normal in the VAB, but in flight it will have a charred and burned appearance as if the heatshield was used. If reducing ablator should result in this charred appearance despite it being unused, then it should also appear in the VAB. Reproduction steps: 1. Put a heatshield on your craft 2. Reduce its ablator to near empty. Observe how it looks normal. 3. Launch the craft and observe the heatshield now appears charred, as if it was used.

Please do not make the heat shield look charred in the VAB when reducing ablator amount. The problem is in the flight view part of the game.

MechBFP Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Yup ran into this myself and wasn't sure what was going on and didn't pay much attention at the time. This was the cause though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
