Description
GOG KSP 1.11.0 + DLCs (no mods)
ISP is not affected when the engines are the same, therefore thrust limiting shouldn't change deltav
How to replicate:
1. Load 'ThrustLimiter Tester.craft'
2. Set deltav to vacuum
3. Note deltav being 6068
4. Set thrustlimiter of one Skiff to 30 (it will automatically change the other)
5. Note deltav has changed to 5782
I recorded the values going from 100 - 1 and put it on a graph.
If its inaccurate for two engines that are the same, could this be worse for multiple engines that are different?
NOTE:
Some rocket configurations will do this more or less for some reason.
Double Precision did nothing to change this result. (Change Log 1.11.0* Amended dV and orbit calcs to use Double precision.)
