VAB/SPH Mod Request: Whole-vessel sliders for on-board resources

[murphyschaos]

I would like to see sliders that proportionally adjust resources (liquid fuel, oxidizer, etc.) across the whole vessel. This would allow me to see the center of mass overlay move as it would while fuel is being consumed.

Manually adjusting fuel in over a dozen tanks is tedious and more likely to lead to mistakes (e.g. forgetting to reload the fuel).

Is it possible that this does something like what you want?

It's a cool idea...I'd say you'd want to be able to control it by stage too. I too spend an inordinate amount of time tweaking fuel levels when RCS balancing craft.

In the meantime one thing that helps is to reduce number of tanks and get them as close to CoM as possible. Good luck!
