XR1 coolant overheating

[Wedge]

Hi,
I wanted to use the XR1 for transcontinental scramjets flights (new york-paris, for example), and I don't have any problem until I reach Mach 15 or so. that's when I shut the scram jets, lower my altitude, and start losing momentum.
At that point Coolant temperature is high: 70°, and it keeps climbing , it reaches 90 before I reach Paris, and i cant use external coolant in flight. So my systems shut down, and I have to land visually. How do I lower coolant temperature in long atmospheric flights ? Why can't the XR1 use external temperature that is quite low 5°, to cool the coolant?

The XR1 has not been designed for long athmospheric flights. That is why it is missing a cooling device that would work under such circumstances.
You can always adjust the coolant behaviour in the configuration file.
Or make suborbital flights that take you to places where the dynamic pressure is low enough to use the radiator.

Happy Orbiting

Ok, thank you, I guess I'll use the cfg, or climb to lower Dynamic pressure.
