Delta-V Stats missing in MechJeb #15

Open ryanbmilbourne opened 9 years ago

I think I found an issue related to use with MechJeb. When using a thermal turbojet that is running on atmospheric intake, the stage is not showing up in the MechJeb dV stats window:

I don't seem to have the issue when running on traditional fuel, so my guess is that it's maybe related to the atmo fuel source?

Most likely it has to do something with the atmospheric thrust and speed curve which I don't set. Instead I calculate the effective Isp and thrust at the spot. Although it makes life easier for me, tools like mechjeb which attempt to predict delta V based on these curves cannot work. To fix it, we need someone with a better understanding on how to properly configure these curves

Perhaps it's worth looking into on the MechJeb forum? Maybe one of the contributors to that project can provide guidance.
