Problem with fuel types for thermal turbo jet and ramjet

Hello,

Currently the thermal turbojet and ramjet don't let you use LH2 or liquid fuel, but they do let you use LH4, liquid CO2, etc? AM I doing something wrong here? The crusader doesn't seem to have this problem. See below for the selection of fuels that I have access to for the ramjet. I am using the latest build. Thanks for your input.

this is intended. At high temperatures, propellants and heat exchanger become reactive. To prevent this, a coating is used. However, the coating can only be anti reducing or anti-oxidizing. In order to function in an oxygen-rich atmosphere, it need to use an anti-oxidizing coating, As a consequence, it cannot use any reducing propellants like hydrogen.

thanks that makes sense.
