Description

In ksp 0.90, a plug-in can change the minThrust. In ksp 1.0, 1.0.2, modifying this field do nothing.

Example: setting lv-T30 minThrust to 100 in config file.
When throttling to 0, setting minThrust to 0 (via a KspEvent plug-in), the CalculateThrust() function return the node config value and not 0.

Tested on ksp 0.90, 1.0, 1.0.2. Windows 32bit.

I understand the new behaviour:
now the thrust isn't given by min/max thrust but by min/maxFuelFlow*G*isp

So i need to update the min/max Fuel flow with vaccum isp via:
fuelFlow = requestedThrust / (G*isp)

I think the atmChangeFlow bool is a switch between the old and new mode (i didn't test it).

ps: no "not an issue" Status, so i set "Duplicate" instead
