procedural avionics != heatshield. #1239

Closed glilienthal closed 4 years ago

glilienthal commented 4 years ago

I find it weird that the procedural avionics part is so much more heat resistant than any other avionics. It has 1073/1073 K, whereas

aerobee: 573/773 and others (starting, early 1m, able avioncs) have the same. Only the A4 avionics has even 1600 K (But this might be due to its possibly mostly mechanical nature? or German Engineering? or just a different modder ;))

My suggestion: Putting proc. Avionics at 573/773K like the others.

Looking forward for comments. Shall I do a pull request?

This was done to make proc avionics capable of LEO re-entry and also to survive Venus landings.

The problem is that all configs share one temperature resistance, so either early parts get too-high a value, or later parts get too-low a value. siimav explains why the former is preferable

Makes sense. Then I don't feel bad for reentry from suborbital with just proc avionic and parachute :).
