Make the Explosions Like the First Version of KSP

[CDK]

I love the game right now, but my only complaint is that I loved the explosions in version .1 and .17 but now the explosions don't look as great. I would like the explosions from the earlier versions to .24.2.

They were laggy as hell. I highly doubt the devs would want to go back to those, but they mentioned somewhere in the Dev notes that they're going to change the current ones.

Old explosions were impressive with fires and smoke trails but that can in reality only happen on Kerbin and Laythe as anywhere else you're missing the oxygen needed to feed the fire. Oxidizer from tanks would not do the trick, anything remaining after initial explosion would dissipate too fast to let the fire follow it.

It's kind of sad how majority of movies and games run in air-filled vacuum according to effects used.

I'm no rocket scientist, but I'm pretty sure the whole point of hypergolic propellant is that it DOES explode without atmospheric oxygen.
