Wow. So much new stuff. Tuesday is so far away

As the front screen's displayed datas were in double with the new right screen I've replaced them with hull temperature (shadow side and sun side), atmo temp, pressure and G.
The calculus for températures are a bit complex as it's a mix of sun effect vs pressure, atmo temp and sun power but it work not too bad. Planet's shadow & night have an effect of course. I've included also vessel limit for temps and pressure. Forget your "nice trajectory right behind the sun" your re-entry at 45° or your holidays on Venus. (All those limits are in the Arrow's configuration file)
Ascent on Titan: The sun start to warm one side (at lower altitude the pressure diluted the difference) and the hull is slightly warmed by speed.
A reentry on earth's shadow that is not well engaged.
You're dismissed !

I foresee problems creating Arrows with the scenario editor in third-party solar systems, which by default drop the created vessel in a close solar orbit. I haven't found anything in CELBODY or default config files to help developers fix this issue.

Effectively I don't think I can do anything here, particularly the previous version was a common Orbiter vessel with nothing particular.
Well i'll just pause and move the ship away before any damage happens.
Darn, now I'll have to pay attention on reentry. Is the max reentry angle still 2.0, like on the DGIV, or can we go in a little steeper? And I know everyone is saying this but, BETA TEST SOON!!! Sorry just so excited . Im planning on using this for my first Mars Mission.
Is it possible to code an alarm if one is about land with a docked vessel still attached?
I would think (altitude above nearest body < 500m) would be sufficient for the test.

They sound like they'd be an excellent asset for other addons.
Hi Dan, any chance at particle effects,such as hover,thruster dust when landing?
I'm also afraid that someone will kill me if I don't release soon
