Action Group Staging

[viperwolf]

In the action group tabs, the first category is stage. How do i tell that to activate on a certain stage after launch?

EX. I want to activate landing gear deploy,door open,chute deploy, etc... when I engage stage 3.

AFAIK you can't in stock.  That just for the initial stage.

However there is a mod for this, if you're interested.

If you're on 1.4, I believe the author (whose mod maintaining list is 3 digits), is waiting until 1.4.1 to do his updates.

This will let you slap a small controller on it which will trigger AG 3.  I don't remember if you can have a stage trigger it, but you can have it hit when you would normally stage. (i.e. when a fuel tank runs out)

You can also use the controllers to stage for you, so it stages the split second the tanks are out.  This is also handy if you're using the crossfeed/fuel drain priority feature, since the boosters won't shut off when their tanks are done.

You can't do something that specific.  The 'stage' in the action group keys allows you to assign something to that command, but it will be executed each time you stage, i.e. press the Spacebar.  The alternative would be to add all those actions to a specific key, and add the 3rd stage to them, then use that key rather than 'stage' at the appropriate time.
