Easy SRB thrust profile

[KerbalEssences]

Hey guys, I don't know the exact reason for why SRBs are relatively weak compared to engines (in reality its the opposite) but I assume its due to them having a constant amount of thrust. As we all probably know the real ones work different and there have been rather complex suggestions in the past but what about this one? I think such an option would make a lot of sense since you know you can't throttle SRBs together with your liquid fuel engines. The sliders could be set up by default for the thrust they have right now but you could optionally tweak them. This would give more control over them and you could increase their thrust so they actually deliver what they do in reality: the majority of the thrust!

I am not so familiar with modding btw. so I can't really suggest a method on how to implement this. However the system could be similar to jet engines for example. These lose thrust due to air pressure or something and the SRBs thrust could change by fuel amount instead. Feel free to share your opinion. Do I forget something?

Very simple and effective idea, so (*cough*) there is now a mod for that. Enjoy

Great!

Maybe to have an option for more levels of thrust limiting other than just beginning thrust and end thrust, mid thrust etc.

I want to rep you so hard for this but the forum won't let me... :O
