Bug #5986
IVA atmospheric gauge still refering to the old atmo model
0%
Description
It seems like the atmosphere gauge in IVA view is still showing the old atmo model. This can be quite disruptive, since the atmospheric model has been reworked many times. This bug is possibly also included in 1.0.5.
Both of the attached screenshots show the same vessel in the relatively same altitude, but as you can see, the atmospheric gauge on the UI and the one in IVA view show significantly different values. The bug doesn't seem to affect anything else than the gauges, but is confirmed to be present in all IVA's.

Even the UI atmospheric gauge works differently from pre-1.0 times.
Release 0.25:
4th tick - 12500 m, pressure 0.0842
10th tick - 32000 m, pressure 0.0016
16th tick - 52500 m, pressure "IN VACUUM"
Here it seems the gauge was scaled to track altitude and colors suggested corresponding pressure. 4th tick used to be where people did gravity turn, 10th tick used to be preferred altitude for spaceplanes to go horizontal and start reaching orbital speeds.
Release 1.0.5:
4th tick - 7500 m, pressure 28.617
10th tick - 19000 m, pressure 2.8291
16th tick - 50000 m, pressure 0.0143
Here the gauge and its colors don't quite say anything useful. Maybe the 50 km level might be considered good altitude for circularizing and pulling the apoapsis out of the atmosphere as in orbital speeds there is no considerable reentry heat anymore, but the preceding two boundaries don't seem to be useful for any purpose.
Things that might be nice to have indicated on the gauge would be parachute deployment pressure levels - 0.01 (min) and 0.75 (max)
