Rover wheel throttle

This is a simple suggestion that is pretty simple to make. I would like a set of keys that control how much torq will the rover wheels put out when you press your rover buttons. It will make so much to the art of rover wheels with the new wheel module.

It's come up before, and I agree again.  Tying wheel torque to the throttle control is a great idea.

I think it should be implemented with the new wheel module.

Wouldn't that mess up with skycranes? Also, doesn't the trim work that way already?

But trim is not as reliable as a key that can throttle all weels up or down.

Great Idea! I'm absolutely with you on this one!

Agreed.  I was thinking of it like:  If I do not have any engines on that craft and RCS is disabled, then throttle with Shift-Ctrl-Z-X controls the wheels.

It would make driving rovers much more enjoyable.

I was thinking Alt+shift/ctrl/z/X to control it.
