Intake air not showing up in Resources list

[Pthigrivi]

So I just updated my 1.0.5 this morning (should be the new build) and noticed that my intake air level isnt being shown in the resource list in flight. Ive tried a few different intakes and nothing seems to pop up.

This is intended behaviour

Oh! Hmm.. Sorry how are we supposed to gauge how much air our engines are getting? It really helps when hotkeying intakes.

Right click the engines.

Im sorry, am I an idiot? I don't see intake air there either. Generally I'd been keeping most intakes closed until I got higher in the atmosphere, watching the total intake air decline until the point I knew the engines would starve, then open the other intakes. I mean I can memorize what altitude this happens, but the visual feedback was nice.

It was intentionally hidden. Because IntakeAir is generated and consumed in the same frame, it can be misleading because IntakeAir may look full (am I using any?) or because it's showing empty (I have none, why is my engine still running?).

Also, open/close on the intakes pretty much does nothing for drag now. It's no longer part of the new 1.0 aero model, so closing the intakes doesn't save you any drag. And IntakeAir isn't something that can be spammed up anymore and feed an engine well beyond it's service ceiling, because that was also changed in 1.0.

It would be helpful to know if you're supplying the full demand to the engine, but the existing resource system isn't set up well for displaying that sort of information given the way IntakeAir works. I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it, without a rework of the resource code.

Oh thats good to know, thanks! It was something I had been used to doing and I supposed I hadn't noticed the savings disappear. I suppose some sort of indicator could help, but given that rapiers visibly sputter there's at least some warning they're about to switch over.

Prop. Requirement Met refers to, I believe, the air.

[Pthigrivi]

Does it? When I was watching on rapiers it never dipped below 100%, then they switched, but maybe thats something unique to them.

Also sorry mods, feel free to move this to gameplay questions if you like.

Ah yeah. I forgot that got added. (Though I think it's not just "IntakeAir," but works all the same.)
