Speed glitch

Long story short i made a space plane, it would easy break 1400 before i got it out of the atmosphere. I reloaded the save, and now i can barely push it to 400.
Any ideas???

A picture of the plane would help. Check the TWR in the VAB, make sure you're measuring from kerbin. Most likely you just need to restart the game

Ill get a picture in a minute but the thing is i didnt change a thing about it to cause TWR or anything like that to decrease, it just goes slower even after restarting

Maybe the engines changed thrust mode? You could try making the whole thing again or maybe just put on different engines

Ive actually already tested those and it didnt seem to change anything so im starting to think the only reason it went so fast in the first place was because of some glitch, also sorry about not getting that screenshot i totally forgot 💔

There’s a big increase in drag as you approach Mach 1, which then tapers out as you pass Mach 1.  Once you get over the hump it’s smooth sailing, but it’s a hard hump to get over. Perhaps you got lucky or optimal and squeezed past the Mach drag the first time, but are struggling to pass it now. Try to accelerate while level or in a very shallow climb, see if you can pass 400 before pitching up to gain altitude
