Variable control limits.

Fine control (caps-lock) in KSP is useless. it just slows down the rate that the control moves to maximum. What would be way more helpful is limits on the maximum. The way it is now, you basically have to do your own pulse code modulation by rapidly tapping the desired key to hold the controls in a given spot unless you want to fly straight or turn at maximum force.

It is especially necessary with the new ASAS because constantly tapping never gives the ASAS a chance to stabilize.

Ideally, The limits should be variable by the user, or at least should automatically allow less range of movement depending on speed.

Both attitude adjustment and steering rovers could benefit greatly from this.

But of course, it couldn't hurt to have both

I believe KerbCom Avionics has this functionality, limiting control input, that is.

Seems like a good idea to have this in stock KSP.

I agree. Limiting the maximum would be better than making it sluggish.

I wish the "fine control" would lower the usable range of the control input to 1/e and 1/e^2 (or even 10%, 1%) of full authority. The slower ramp up time is OK but it's still ugly to have to keyboard tap things into place.

Ohh thanks for the suggestion Supernovy, I'll check that out.

Honestly I'm not sure how the current version of "fine control" every got past the first in-game test.
