Does is possible to have something like preflight check in KSP?

[Pawelk198604]

I mean real mission control that make go/no go before launch, to add more realism ?

[MinimalMinmus]

Dunno, but you can make a pseudo check by saying "Did I put the throttle up?" "Is the staging right?" "How about SAS?"...

I usually take my protein pills and put my helmet on 

commencing countdown engines on, 10, 9, 8

check ignition and may god's love be with you. 7, 6 , 5, 4 , 3, 2 ,1

Lift off.

usually how I do it.

How often do you really need ladders, though? On most bodies the gravity's low enough that you can just jetpack wherever you need to go.

Of course I can hear you, I'm standing right... Hey! Wasn't I supposed to be in that thing?

T'was meant to represent the entire gamut of "Doh! I forgot..." paraphernalia. Ladders, solar panels, 'chutes, pilots etc.

(And when ladders are needed, they are needed.)

There's that checklist in the VAB that can give you errors and warnings, but that list is by no means comprehensive and some "errors" you probably consider them features.

 

Probably you're looking for something like this:

 

P.S.: What imma say further is not what you asked for, but I like to go the extra mile ;). Extra realism can be added also by:

 

 

There's also Realism Overhaul, Realistic Progression (RP-0) and many more.

 

Some are compatible with the latest KSP version, some aren't.

Oh, and there's this:

That makes your kerbals sort of talk to the control center.

• SAS: ENGAGE
• LEEEEROOOOOY JEEEEENKIIIINS!

I use that song to start off a lot of KSP flights, actually. Second only to "The Final Countdown" in terms of launches.

The Apollo 11 liftoff is my favorite. I start at T-00:30. I turn on sas when guidance goes internal.
