Advanced Atmosphere Tools is a plugin that enables manipulation of atmospheric properties on a less-than-planetary scale, allowing for far more variability in atmospheric conditions on a given body than would otherwise be seen in stock. The manipulated properties are then seamlessly integrated into KSP’s flight dynamics systems to influence how craft fly through the atmosphere, all while having a very low performance impact, even with high part counts.
Adv. Atmo. Tools provides ways to manipulate the following five atmospheric properties:
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Molar Mass
- Adiabatic Index
- Wind
All properties can be influenced through a set of maps and floatcurves. Details on how to configure all the different options, as well as their effects on flight dynamics, can be found on the GitHub wiki.

Dependencies:
- ModularFlightIntegrator
- Toolbar Controller
- Click-Through Blocker
- HarmonyKSP
Compatibility:
- FerramAerospaceResearch: If installed, Adv. Atmo. Tools will defer all relevant aero/thermal calculations to FAR and supply it with wind, temperature, and pressure information.
Conflicts: - Other mods that modify the stock aerodynamics system
This mod was originally named Modular Climate & Weather Systems. It was renamed to Advanced Atmosphere Tools reflect its new focus of manipulating atmospheres. Backwards compatibility with MCWS configs is provided.
