First of all thanks to Thorton for adding new features and missions to his beatiful add-on!

I've noticed that the new (great!) visual effects of the transonic phase (maxQ effect) during Shuttle launch also appear during the approach phase (HAC and final approach). I haven't tried a full re entry yet and don't know if that happens also during previous stages of the reentry.
Is it a possible bug or I have got something wrong in my orbiter settings?

Thanks
 
Try to insert this line in "Shuttlebay" vessel:
TIMER -1 -1 -1
 
I have observed the Max Q effect occurring during approach & landing as well.
 
TKS Thorton, adding this line made the MaxQ effect disappear :thumbup:.
Now the wingtip trails are visible but they constantly appear all the way during the approach (like G's were always applied to the Shuttle even if not banking or "pulling-up"): is that the way you've designed them to appear or they should only form during certain aerodynamic conditions during the approach?
 
Wingtip trail is function of angle of attack.
I understand that its behavior different than in reality, but it was my first attempt. I hope to improve this effect.
 
Well this is already a big cosmetic improvement; having both the maxQ and the wingtip trails effects is very nice! thanks again Thorton.
Last question:
Are you planning to add all the STS/ISS historical missions in the future?
