This is a mod for Kerbal Space Program that allow your capsules to be re-oriented on atmospheric entry, so that aerodynamics forces will keep it at an angle, making it generate lift and experience less g-forces than doing pure ballistic reentry.
Less g-forces will make your crew members and tourists more happy when they return from orbit back home.
Based on Realism Overhaul's CoMShifter (currently just copied the code over and renamed the namespace, but possibly more features will be added in the future).
License remains the same as Realism Overhaul: CC BY-SA.
Copy the DescentMode directory inside your GameData
- Right click you capsule and select "Turn Descent Mode On".
- Orient you capsule to retrograde and rotate it such as the ground (brown) is at the top of your navball, and the sky (blue) is at the bottom (180 degrees roll). This is different from the original Realism Overhaul setup, where you have to set 0 roll, because it 1) allows your kerbals to see their planet in the window and 2) makes better lift for mk1-2 pod with Ven's Stock Part Revamp and FAR.
- Enjoy your descent.
