1 year ago thank you @jvsperoni , will get to this just as soon as I get done Frankenstein's Monstering my server and get it's network glitch corrected (the it keeps grabbing the wrong IP from the DHCP - reservation is messed up).
Change summary. All cfg changes commented with "JVS". 1) Fixed several aero parts. Problem originally looked like simple drag, later traced to too much lift and ridiculously large control surfaces out of scale to the models. Modest control inputs could generate 60G lateral forces causing aero instability and part explosions. Changes improved ascent, reentry, and landing behavior. 2) Increased heat resistance of both cabins for 2.5x scale. Steep reentry can still cause burnup so there's still some risk for cowboy pilots. 3) OMS Engine seemed overpowered. Left as-is and added weaker monoprop engine. Allows Dreamer vehicle to use single fuel for orbital engines and RCS. 4) Removed airbrake module from tail. It wasn't needed to slow down, and was easier to remove than to fix.
Remaining Work 1) Skyhawk strongly nerfs reaction wheels. Temporarily upped wheels by x100 to compensate. After aero settings are tested more will bring wheels back to reasonable values, and maybe create a patch for Skyhawk because, while aero is much better than before, strong reaction wheels help Dreamer (other aero tricks such as offsetting wings or adding canards aren't viable with these models). 2) The non-cargo cabin's front node is too far forwards. Nose Cone and Docking NoseCone have to be offset when attached. First attempt to move node copying same settings as cargo cabin did not yield correct placement; the 2 cabins might have different origin points or slightly different sizes. 3) Most testing was at 2.5x KSRSS scale. Some chnages have not been tested with stock 1x Kerbin. 4) I've done zero testing of the included lifter parts. 5) The new engine hasn't been localized, hardcoded English text. 6) Check player.log for errors.
