Fuel adjustment button.

[Arugela]

We need a fuel adjustment button for the VAB and SPH. One that can fill it to full, halfway, and empty(at minimum) without having to find all the tanks. This is insanely helpful for testing. Or will this be in 1.0?

Something as simple as setting each tank to full empty or half would be great. Anything more would be wonderful. I do alot of testing with my planes aerodynamics and the single most annoying and time consuming thing is calculating and changing out the fuel levels to see how it acts as the fuel adjusts. Anything that makes it faster to adjust the fuel levels of the entire plane would be a godsend. Even when I know the number(which I normally do) the process of finding all the tanks I use is insanely tedious and wastes huge amounts of time I could be actually testing in flight or using the ships for missions.

I think what I'd find most useful would be fuel adjustment buttons on the right-click menu of the docking ports: buttons for "transfer as much fuel as possible from this side of the docking port to that side" and vice-versa.

In the meantime: RCS Build Aid includes markers for dry CoM and average CoM, and the FAR analysis screens include an option for "empty".

Seconded.

Yes. With the new jet-engine fuel flow rules that have been mentioned in the devnotes, fuel load adjustment for multi-tank planes in the SPH is going to be an even bigger PITA.

I was hoping for more fuel adjustment stuff in flight also. Either in a side window you cold bring up and/or in a screen in the IVA. I think they should maximize the IVA then make alternative windows for everything in flight mode potentially. they have the buttons and interface in the IVA's potentially regardless. No reason not to use them all. Could be an advantage of each cockpit. some have more button features than others. Even the individual seats could have different stuff and you need kerbals to be seated in them or move the one kerbal around to do it. Then we would have realistic cockpits.

Even something as simple as Shift + Right click or Alt(right shift) + right click to select all of that one tank type or all tanks would be nice. Then you slide that one tanks fuel and the rest follow.
