The "PressureExternal" values can also be inconvenient on worlds like Loulan whose atmosphere is well above 101kPa. Manually-operated airlocks can not equalise the pressure within the airlock during the exit cycle to the Loulan atmosphere pressures. Without equal pressures you can not prevent wind currents from occurring when opening airlock doors. The active vent has no effect when the external pressure within the airlock surrounding the active vent is already >101kPa. When the pressure is <101kPa the vent will stop when it reaches 101kPa. | The "PressureExternal" values can also be inconvenient on worlds like Loulan whose atmosphere is well above 101kPa.
