Description

During reentry, the reentry heat animation displayed as if heat shield doesn't exist (i.e. as if entire craft during reentry is on fire), but in reality it does protects from reentry heat (if you check if via Right Shift + F11, Temperature Overlay Mode). Doesn't break gameplay, but may be misleading.

This is how it looks:

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Mount Heat Shield (10m) onto front of any rocket.
2) Re-enter atmosphere are high speed (1500+ m/s).
