Reduced Thrust Limiter not factored in (RP-1) Separator's Burn Time calculation (both VAB and live)
Bloodsucker opened this issue ยท 1 comments
When using the Separator Motor or the Radial Separator Motor (and possibly others) in the VAB on a separate stage, if the engines have their Thrust Limiter reduced (e.g., to 50%), the expected Burn Time isn't recalculated. Instead, it continues to display as 0.8s, which is incorrect. With a Thrust Limiter set to 50%, it should display a value around 2 seconds or something similar. The 0.8s value corresponds to the total burn time when the thrust limiter is at 100%, even though it's not.
I am using RP-1 and I recently updated to Mechjeb2-dev. This issue doesn't appear in version 2.0.0 available in CKAN.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Add a Separator Motor to your rocket in the VAB.
- Move the engine to its own stage to view Mechjeb's calculated DeltaV and expected burn time.
- Set the engine's Thrust Limiter to 50%.
- The Burn Time still displays as 0.8s, but it should be a value between 1-2 seconds.
