Atmosphere relative sizes

Since Jool's atmosphere is almost exactly twice as large as Kerbin's and Eve is nearly 1.5x, I suspect that they are using it as a unit variable. Can we get a confirmation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigmt1 (talk • contribs) 20:37, 21 September 2012‎

I've done a reference frames table for Jool, using HyperEdit and Flight Data Debug.

Why haven't Jool had a reference table yet? And please check if there's a mistake.

Landing and planting flags on Jool

It seems that it's no more possible since 0.23 (when I began my tests). All my crafts were destroyed at -250 m on 1.1 m/s or less. I will publish screenshots on request.

Atmosphere height

I have a flaming hulk of spaceship debris in v1.0.2 that says the atmosphere doesn't start anywhere near 140km up. More like 200km. I'm not sure exactly how you tell, though, so I didn't want to edit it. Maybe I'll put something that says it's around 200km but say that it's not precise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xaxxon (talk • contribs) 09:57, 16 May 2015‎

Follow up tests.. it's below 201k. I think it starts right at 200k and it's like soup. Really hard to bounce out of (for my limited abilities) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xaxxon (talk • contribs) 10:04, 16 May 2015‎

Interestingly, I've just reverted a change which set the height in the infobox to 414km, but I believe that's much larger than the true number. The in-game tracking station claims that it is 200,000m, although I'm not certain that the numbers shown there are precise. If someone knows for certain the precise height of the atmosphere, I'll be glad to update the parameters for the infobox. --Murph (talk) 10:08, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

As I've mentioned in User talk:OhioBob#Scale heights I would appreciate data: Just the pressure at certain altitudes. And to determine the border it seems that it's not possible to spam a science experiment and check if it's in space or in upper atmosphere. — xZise [talk] 22:18, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

It seems that the new atmospheric physics for 1.0 included changes which resulted in Jool's atmosphere growing to 200km. Going by discussion here on the wiki, and some posts I've found elsewhere on the net, the accurate and precise number is currently exactly 200,000m. The infobox is updated, but I'm not doing the article text right now (others, please feel free, I have no ambition to hog the glory). --Murph (talk) 03:53, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

I've updated the atmosphere section of the article to incorporate v1.0 changes. I've done so for all the planets, using a consistent format. I hope it meets with your approval. I also plan to include an image that shows a graph of temperature and pressure vs. altitude, but I have to wait until the migration problem is resolved. He is the image for Jool... http://www.braeunig.us/pics/KSP/Jool_Atmosphere_T&P.png. — OhioBob (talk) 15:01, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
