A mod for Kerbal Space Program that enhances reentry and aerodynamic effects.
Firefly completely replaces the stock aerodynamic visual effects with its own custom system.
- Built-in compatibility with popular planet packs like RSS and KSRSS.
- Allows planet pack creators to define custom visual effects for planets and moons.
- Supports custom "envelopes" for individual parts.
- Includes a set of template configs for planet packs, planets, and parts.
For details on writing configs, creating envelopes, and other information, check the wiki.
The only required dependency is:
We recommend installing the mod via CKAN. If installing manually, place the GameData folder inside your Kerbal Space Program directory (merge if prompted).
The mod's icon and particle sprites were created by thunderchild, who has also made incredible concept arts for the mod and helped shape it the way it is now. The effects would definitely not look as good as they do now without him.
Massive thanks to JonnyOThan for making some really awesome optimizations to the mod's plugin and other support.
The core shader was based on Leah Lindner's paper describing a method of creating promising reentry VFX. Without the paper, this mod would definitely not be possible.
Massive thanks to all the people mentioned above, as well as everyone from the early testing groups, and all the Patrons - without you the mod would probably be much different than it is now, or wouldn't exist at all :)
