Awaras Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Can someone please tell me what the 'disable command' option on the engines does exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majiir Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Would it be possible to keep the staging indicator and icons on left of screen when in map view? Could be quite handy not having to switch back to normal view to check fuel levels or stages in certain situations.I'll look into it, but I suspect it's beyond my ability.Can someone please tell me what the 'disable command' option on the engines does exactly?This disables the individual engine throttling for optimizing fuel efficiency. Generally, you'll want this on. You might want to disable it if you're building a highly asymmetric craft and you find the system hurts vessel stability. Note that clicking this will disable the command system for all engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightKev Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 If you find out it's possible to modify the staging list in some ways, see if you can have it hide the icons for parts that are unaffected by staging (ie: struts, generic structural parts, etc). Trying to make sense of staging when you have a ton of parts can be exasperating, especially since the grouping of parts in the stage list seems to be rather buggy right now (three symmetrically placed RCS thrusters might have two grouped together, with one by itself for some reason).

Punk Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Am I able to edit the .cfg file to turn off the automatic adjustments for ISP? I like the toggle function but I don't think I like the auto thrust thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the toggle function but I don't think I like the auto thrust thing.Just right-click an engine and click "Disable Command". This will disable the function for all engines. Later on there will be a more persistent configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeforce87 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Majiir, this shouldn't be a mod, it should be a patch! Nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyFox Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well i'd like to give a seems-to-be-a-bug report:When an engine is deactivated and then reactivated, sometimes it just doesn't burn again.Maybe it's because the engine is not connected to a fuel tank directly? In my case, it is connected to a part which is fuel cross-feedable. I wonder if we forget to check that in the codes. Also, if you'll check this problem, don't forget the fuel pipes which may also cause similar problems.And, yes the mod is awesome. No longer need to disable fuel flow of multiple fuel tanks. Only need to deactivate the engine itself will save a lot of work & time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyratel Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 as far as the VTOL question is concerned - maybe add a "VTOL Controller" part which either generates a GUI panel when present or has Rclick options (for later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahlzun Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 And just for confirmation: the auto ISP thingy means that atmospheric engines automatically shut off past ~13km? No fuel drained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John FX Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Is this 0.20 compatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Last change to the code was 8 months ago. I'm afraid this one has been dead for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyRain2k Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It's dead until it's possible again to individually throttle engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
