Have you ever seen what it's like to enter the atmosphere at 2 kilometers per second?
Well, it sure doesn't look like this:
So, why can't we make it look better? This heat shield will do the trick!
There is an electric engine that uses Hydrolox, which is runned by Vizzy to detect the appropriate speed and air density for entry. The Hydrolox is inside the heat shield, and there's a lot of it, so don't cheat!
Since this is the first of its kind on the website, it has some flaws:
- The program is not designed to adapt to extremely different atmospheres, so it might activate too late or too early on planets that are not Droo
- The program can only be activated once, you must manually duplicate the code many times (sorry I didn't do that I am lazy)
- Due to how I set up the Hidden Properties, the engine is very massive and probably won't fit inside a tiny interstage (as you can see below)

believe me, it will make it slightly worse

Can you make it smaller and hide it in the heat shield? Then insert the program, which will give us the most realistic effect when we re-enter the atmosphere, plz.

i just hope jundroo update the reentry effect to look more realistic like ksp or sfs

yep, there wasn't a workaround for that issue back then, but with the V3 version (which i haven't uploaded yet) i can now edit the thrust meaning they can be fully cosmetic, either way you can always turn them off with AG11

i actually downloaded and used that craft to take pictures for my second detranian system
but somehow my mind didn’t remember the engines.
by they way they were kinda annoying because they sped up the ship while it was entering the atmosphere -

i actually made a very similar thing before on my SV80, it also used engines as a heat effect but they were connected to the craft's fuel tanks rather than a heat shield

@SamTheFox ik
there will be temperature from atmo. as well as engine -

Wait a second chap.
The reentry protector might explode if an engine is used in the new Update bruhhhh -

you should credit me though because this is the only one of its kind -

@SamTheFox nop.
Using overload extension in the game
I made a drood enter a fuel tank or make the fuel tank hollow.

Bruh.
If you XMLed it nicely, you could have done it without putting an invisible engine -
Nice job tried it on droo perfect till the update that fixes re-entry
All right😢@SamTheFox
