Longer CoT indicator

[Wjolcz]

Whenever I build something that is long and try to adjust the thrust vector it's hard to tell if it's aligned properly. It only shows where the engines are and is pretty short. It's problematic especially when building planes. Can't see if it will flip, or not!

I recommend using RCS build aid - it has mode for checking engines thrust. It will show if engines creating any torque (however small) due to misalignment and much better than just trying to align dot and line visually.

Yes! A while ago I suggested extending the CoT line, like a laser pointer.

Me too.

Yes, please.

Using RCS Build Aid is quite good for this, although I got some erroneous results some times.

+1 to longer CoT indicator and to CoL indicator too. Should be somewhat dependant on vessel size perhaps.

Edit: Forgot to mention that CoT should be based off of an selectable engine group because right now it's pretty much useless if your vessel has multiple engines facing in different directions such as a VTOL.

NO!! Have you tried the thrust limiter?!

I support this.

I also support this.
