Gravity hack to specific planets or moons

[Martian Emigrant]

Just what the title says.

The only reason, apart from fun, for hacking gravity is to test crafts. Now with 1.2 we have more selection of gravities to choose from. Thank you.

But looking up the gravity of Laythe or Tylo is a bit of a pain. Can we get a pull down menu that appears when you select hack gravity? Or the space is there, list them all to select directly?

Thanks. Keep up the good work. 1.2 is excellent.

Yes, I think that void be a handy addition to the hack gravity 'cheat'.  We can now 'set orbit' around other bodies so it would not be too radical to have gravity level presets for 'hack gravity'.

I don't think its fair to say looking up the gravity is a bit of a pain, it's on the wiki page of every celestial body. Listed under surface gravity it has the acceleration due to gravity, and the measurement of g's. I use it to test all my craft.

OK. Granted. How about editing my original "Pain" to "Annoyance"?

We have computers to look up things for us . No?

And of course it's not a "Bug". Fixing real problems are more important than adding small features. But I thing that one can't be that hard.

This is the Suggestions & Development Discussion section. Consider this is a suggestion.

Look them up once, write on a sticky note, stick onto your PC ;-)

It's the Kerbal way! Just take a close look in those IVAs^^
