A plugin for Kerbal Space Program to allow low thrust propulsion systems like ion engines and solar sails to operate during time warp.
- Engines and solar sail continue thrusting during realtime and timewarp
- Engine propellant mass and other resources depleted during timewarp
- Engine throttle stays set from realtime to timewarp and back
- Engines with multiple propellants (e.g. liquid fuel & oxidizer) plus massless propellants (e.g. ElectricCharge)
- Continuous thrust engine throttle and sail attitude can’t be changed during timewarp
- Operating engines during timewarp while on a suborbital trajectory
A companion project enables planning and previewing continous thrust trajectories by scheduling attitude and throttle maneuvers. See SolarSailNavigator for the current version.
