New SRB-4 thrust curves - Performance is similar on the shuttle but they should be more predictable for other types of lifters
Fixed collider issue on custom name plates
Added:
Heavy Payload Mount and Payload Bay Decoupler - Set of decouplers to mount large satellites or other payloads securely into the cargo bay. The Payload Bay Decoupler also acts as a strut. (some placeholder textures)

New Parts - Found in the Aero category
Shuttle C body - The Shuttle C is an unmanned option to utilize the ET and booster stack of the Space Shuttle program. The C has no heat tiles or aerodynamic considerations as it isn't intended to return safely. Its lighter weight and disposable nature make it perfect for unusually heavy payloads and high altitude and satellite deployment missions.
Shuttle C Nosecone - A simple nosecone fit to the Mk3 profile.
Released on 2017-04-08

Increased breaking torque on ET parts to help with initial physics load
Moved the CoM on Shuttle B further back
Fixed drag issues on the parachutes
Reduced MMU fuel
Other things I likely forgot about and will add if I remember

I tried to make is as low impact as possible but this update will likely require some shuttle rebuilds. Fuel values have changed in the Body and OMS pods so make sure to grab new ones

v1.04
Changes to Aero.
Turning during reentry should feel a bit more stable at higher speeds again. Seems like the 1.0.5 hotfix lifting body fix was conflicting with the parts additional wing lift causing much higher lift.
Body Flap values adjusted to bring its drag back up.
Body Flaps of existing shuttles will likely flip around and will need to be re-attached in the assembly building. Don't update if you have a shuttle in orbit!
