V13.1.0 for KSP

Major Updates:

  • Redesigned convection. Includes using FAR's calculation of exposed area, which considerably increases convective heating. Heat shield presets changed to compensate and for accuracy. A number of parts have had their temperature limits and thermal masses revised.
  • Support TestFlight v2.1's differnation between current and cumulative burn time. Configure restart penalties for engines restarted too quickly (or after too long a delay). Lower over-burn penalties for reliable engines that were tested for long periods without failure. Add a number of missing TF engine configs.
  • Support Waterfall plumes for all engines, defaulting to RealPlume if Waterfall is not installed.
  • In conjunction with the latest AJE, mark centrifugal-flow compressor jets as such for reduced transonic and supersonic performance.

New features:

  • Speed up the TestFlight configuration patches
  • Add an X-1 cockpit from Airplanes Plus
  • Add the missing 1.25m (X-15) cockpit from Ven's Revamp
  • Add basic support for CarnationRED Flexible parts (#2424)
  • Improve SSPX support
  • Support ReDIRECT
  • Support Restock+
  • Improve Modular Launch Pad support to work around issue in B9PS
  • Support new hollow interstage from ROTanks
  • Add small radial sep motor
  • Go back to allowing physicsless parts
  • Adjust maximum speeds for small/early landing gear
  • Add a speculative upgrade to the E-1 based on its configuration in Kolyma's Shadow
  • Give consistent compressor models to jets even when Ven's Stock Revamp is not installed (#2467)
  • Add a crew capacity of 1 and a science lab to the Early Station Science Module due to the need for both in Kerbalism's science handling

Bug Fixes

  • Add missing Turpentine resource to tanks (#2436)
  • Fixed a bug in KSP's analytic convection that led to ships being too cold at night in atmosphere on Earth (and probably too hot on Venus)
  • Fix wrong category for pylons and hardpoints (#2438)
  • Fix mass of SCANSat lowres radar (#2440)
  • fix TU configs for Tiny Tim
  • Increase LMAE and LMDE reliability to appropriate values
  • Add missing MMH+MON10 config for RCS and generic engines
  • Unhide KTDU417, KVD1, RD256
  • Use corrected performance numbers for Nike M5E1 and Star 37 solid motors
  • Disable applying KSPWheel to the stock mini landing leg, since that breaks it.
  • Correct the mass of the Transtar config (#2472)
  • Fix an issue where char animations on heat shields were broken
