Description

What happens: When doing a solar impact probe, the 2-hot thermometer gets stuck at the reading "014.89", just before impact it climbs to "014.91"

How to reproduce:
Rocket with with 1x6 deployable solar panels and 2-hot. Launch at dusk burn until escape. Then burn every orbit at apogee until impact trajectory with sun. Not long after getting away from Kerbal temperature values get stuck at "014.89" and stay there until 100k m, then climbs to "014.91"

Notes:
*I'm guessing that this is "off-scale high" in the temp model, combined with a string formatting error.
*It was a couple solar orbits/burns before I noticed. Maybe it had to do with the warp time? I just used normal time warp, not physics warp.

This is more of a limitation due to the current heat model, than anything else. Nevertheless, it's best kept open, but I'll lower the priority.

Now that were in the #5181 era, I think we can retire this one.

Agreed. The new heat simulation renders this issue moot if not fixed notwithstanding the thermal runaway bug from #5181
