Throttle Locking

[Wahgineer]

The idea behind throttle locking is simple: a button in the right click menu that, when clicked, keeps a liquid fueled engine from increasing or decreasing it's thrust from whatever it's preset to ( you can still turn it on/off). This could be useful for keeping crafts balanced, such as space shuttle's with LFB's.

I don't really understand the use.  You can balance with the thrust limiter option.

I think I understand what @awsumindyman means.
He wants to lock an engines thrust at a certain level so that it stays at that level even when all other engines are either throttled up or down. This can indeed be incredible useful for balancing asymmetric designs like shuttles.

Even better would be a second throttle group as has been suggested on many previous occasions.

In the mean time there is Throttle Controlled Avionics. Personally I have no experience with this mod but it should do pretty much the same as what you're looking for.

For when one wishes to exclude gimbaling engines from throttling to keep authority, like the Cub or the Thud.

Deferring to the thrust limiter option is impractical for all but those constructions which only consider a single engine.

 

And yes, this is still valid, so I will revive this thread.
