Body lift not taken into account in CoL

[TheDestroyer111]

Lots of flying things, both rockets and planes but more common with rockets, are very flip-happy even though the CoL in the editor is always (at any fuel quantity) behind CoM. My idea is to somehow make it possible to view body lift (of course not the FAR one, just at least the stock aerodynamic body lift) in the editor, too, and AFAIK there's no mod that would do that.

There is a mod that does it.

Though it's no excuse for this kind of shortcoming. The current CoL isn't the actual CoL, and even then, no one cares about CoL: what matters is CoP, which includes drag and is essential when designing crafts made to fly at high AoA.

It might be that your COL is fine, but you have something draggy near the front, and thus your COP (Center of Pressure) isn't.
