not safe.
<Althego>
i think this must be some eu regulation. banks already had to do this, and i was afraid paypal would stop working
<Mat2ch>
if there only were some standards, here you could offer a code and an app!
<Mat2ch>
Oh, wait
<Mat2ch>
THERE ARE SOME.

someday Squad has to explain to me how the 10m heat shield works.
<Mat2ch>
It always(!) flips. Regardless what I do.
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
is that the inflatable?
<Althego>
also explain the science bay
<Althego>
it always overheats if the same sized heat shield is in front of it
<Althego>
in reality it wouldnt
<FLHerne>
Why wouldn't it?
<Althego>
because the heatshield does not transfer heat and the air is deflected sideways so it doesnt touch it
<FLHerne>
It's cylindrical, so the sidewalls will be in the airflow to some extent
<Althego>
and as we have seen in the rover landing video the heatshield should stay stable
<FLHerne>
There's a reason capsules have angles
<FLHerne>
I've not tried out the megaheatshield yet
<Mat2ch>
Neither has Squad. :D

<packbart>
well, it does work. it would be as weird in real
<Althego>
usually i us it for eve landing. and you cant deflate it, which is dumb, normally it would be deflated for sure
<Althego>
then if oyu detach it
<Althego>
it just slams into the ship
<Althego>
or if doesnt it starts to spin faster and faster
<packbart>
I use the "normal" heat shields on Eve
<Althego>
they are4 too small
<Althego>
for an aascent stage
<packbart>
ok, I just don't plan on returning from Eve's surface :)
<Mat2ch>
Powered landing all the way. That seems to be the only good way to land on Eve
<Mat2ch>
or use arrays of regular heat shields
<Althego>
wait, the whole craft flips for you?
<Mat2ch>
yes!
<Mat2ch>
the aero model is just broken :)
<Althego>
some people add a second heatshield at the back
<Althego>
that cancels the effect
<Mat2ch>
I know
<Mat2ch>
:D
<Althego>
i add a fey find behind the heatshield
<Althego>
at the very to
<Althego>
p
<Althego>
where i put angled engines too
<Althego>
so if it really wants to flip or heat up, i can just break a little
<Althego>
so landing an ascent stage looks more like a bomb
<Mat2ch>
the parachutes aren't really Eve-compatible either... for such a harsh environment you would usually have other designs
<Althego>
heatsgield is the nose, some cylindrical thing in the middle which is the body, and some stabilizing fins on top
<Mat2ch>
heat shields in front of the craft to use as "parachutes" for reentry. ;)
<Althego>
i havent done an aerobraking at jool since heat was introduced. i have to try the inflatable there too

FLHerne: "People always said the old placeholder was like flying in soup, but I disagree; it was like flying in some state of matter not currently known to man."
<FLHerne>
^ compared to the pre-1.0 aero model, the current one is amazing
<FLHerne>
Planes *sort of* behave like planes in some flight regimes
