Thrust Reversers (+improved jet flame)

Description
This mod adds thrust reverser blocks for atmospheric thrusters and improves their visual jet flame.

The reversers are basically doors which can be mounted on the back of atmospheric thrusters.
When closed they cause the thruster to push in the opposite direction with 75% efficiency.

The thrust reversers support the Realistic Thrusters mod (adding force at thruster position if installed).


Please note
Dampeners will be tricked into pushing your ship backwards if you have thrust reverse blocks closed, I strongly suggest you always open the thrust reverse blocks when you're not in the ship.



Known issues
- (fixed by no longer overwriting vanilla models) Some thrusters will explode when thrusting.

Erratic thrust output when reversers are active.

does anyone know if is this mod compatible with the Animated Atmo thrusters mod that uses Animation engine?

The flames are integrated because I also have to stop them when the reverser is over them or it would look weird xD
I do however think it'll be best for the flame to be a separate mod but I dunno when I'll get to doing that, and how... =)

Your mod is really cool, but is there a way to disable these enhanced flames? I already use the recolorable thrusters and when I try to change the thruster color it disappears

Place it on the nozzle-end of the classic atmospheric thrusts, it doesn't work on scifi atmos thrusts (they didn't exist when this mod was made, and lazyness to do it xD)

Hey, awesome mod!
Been using it a longtime ago and really enjoyed it
Is it going to be updated?
If yes- can you PLEASE make the jet flame effect an optional choice or may be publish a standalone version of JUST the reverser?
Thanks for the mod again!

Hi - great mod! :)

It there a way to switch the jet flame off and restore default or other mod's behaviour?

Hey Digi. I like the small remark about engine explosion. I would like to make a rocket thruster that destroys itself after few seconds, but I can't see how to offset flame damage to affect the thruster. Can you please show me how?
