Bug #5987
Root parts drag cubes get reset to default after vessel load
0%
Description
from [[https://github.com/Swamp-Ig/ProceduralParts/issues/175]]
See the attached screenshots. I wrote a little PartModule which displays the area of all attached dragcubes of a part. They are clearly different after loading the vessel in flight mode.
There is also a suspicious line in the log:
[Log]: Reloaded override drag cube for zeroed cube root part proceduralTankLiquid on vessel Untitled Space Craft
The log message occurs on every root part, not only on procedurals.
reproduction:
-Build a craft with a fairing as root.
-launch
-on launchpad the fairings dragcubes are as if there is no custom fairing

Since this issue was raised, NathenKell has replied to the cited GitHub issue with the reasoning behind the messages and observed behaviour. I understand that a workaround for procedural addons has now been found.

Yes, it is intended that the drag cubes get reset on vessel load. However this still results in wrong drag values for the stock procedural fairings when they are the root part. They need to rerender their drag cubes on load.
