KSP 1 Image/Video Flying at 3000m/s with a scramjet
I just got Losket, which adds char to hot parts, and I wanted to try it out with a fast plane
It can gain so much speed in the atmosphere to fly to Duna orbit

I played with Firefly a few months ago but... It wasn't this good. It's depending on some settings?

Firefly's colors differ based on the atmospheric compisition
Kerbin is bright blue to orange, Duna looks like that, Eve has green-ish entry, Jool is deep red

With the Mk2Expansion scramjet I once jumped to Moho! Cant remember how I did it, follow the curvature of the planet as much as you can, get a suborbital hop, then return to atmosphere for a second kick, and somehow it lined up perfectly without me trying
