Action group - DIsplay tweakable/fuel window

[DD_bwest]

Born out of a conversation about refueling many Oscar B's, multiple times..  We wanted a less "unpleasant" way to select them all and transfer fuel, without having to worry about accidentally clicking another part and screwing the whole thing up.    And i thought it would be an amazing addition if we could have an action command group that just brings up the tweakable/fuel display window,   So we could select the tank that is going to be drained and lock it on screen, followed by hitting a 1-9 key that will pop up the windows for all the tanks we wanted in that group, so that we can then just hit in/out.   The ability to raise those windows with a command group could have many other applications as well.

unless there already is a way to do that and ive been missing something lol

@DD_bwest,

@Diazo has a great mod that drastically increases the functionality of action groups, but I'm not sure if what you're talking about is already in the mod. It might be worth it to ask him (on the thread below) if he would be interested in adding this in the future, provided he has the time and this feature is actually possible. 

Also, this mod allows for 250 action groups to be used (instead of 10)

@DD_bwest My ModActions mod currently does not support working with fuel flow like that. A bit odd perhaps because that mod came about because of this exact issue, I wanted a "one-button" control of fuel flow in my own craft.

Then I dug into it and realized just how complex doing that was and moved on to other (simpler) actions in order to get the mod itself working. It is next up on my mod update cycle, I will poke at the fuel stuff again, now that the framework of the mod itself is working it should be much simpler to implement.

As for the popping open the part's window? That is actually a good idea and I don't think it would be too complicated either.

@Gianni1122 Thanks for the mention.
