Radial Booster CoM Indicators

[CoriW]

This seems like something that should be fairly simple, but I haven't looked into it so I'm not entirely sure.

I feel like having CoM indicators for each individual radial booster would be really helpful when it comes to placing sepratrons so that when I separate my boosters they'll move away evenly without potentially flipping in undesirable ways.

It would be nice.

In the meantime, I build my boosters separately and save them as a subassembly (with the engine as the root part). This also makes it easier to set up proper parachutes with RealChutes. Then import the subassembly and attach the booster anywhere. Then add a radial decoupler to the main stack, and move the booster to the decoupler.

It's hacky, but works pretty well.

Or if I'm lazy, just add 4 sepratrons to every booster (2 on top and 2 on bottom). It won't be perfect, but the booster will be pushed far enough away before it really starts turning.

SmartStage is great for staging everything.
