Upgrade the engineer's report with artificial intelligence (light/rotation/structural/high altitude flip/VTOL)

[Jason_25]

I think the engineer's report should get smarter and have more features.

It would be nice if you have built a horizontal craft and it detects that you do not have international standard lighting placed such as red and green lighting on the wings.  Perhaps your entire operation could be shut down if you launch too many unprofessional flights like this.

It would be nice if it detects that the rear landing gear are too far back and there is insufficient force for rotation under 150 mps.

It would be nice if it detects if the vehicle will suffer an immediate structural failure at launch.  Get some NASA scientists on this if you have to but this feature alone would make the game 1000% better.

I have thought of and forgotten many more additions to this report but these are the ones off the top of my head.

edit:

High altitude flip warning - detect when control needed is beyond authority at high altitude at estimated max speed.  This is greatly needed for new players.

VTOL warnings - 3 warnings needed. 

VTOL thrust imbalance side to side or front to back could be shown as a percentage and a red warning triggered over a certain amount. 

VTOL TWR being below 1 triggering a yellow warning. 

STOVL brake status showing whether vehicle will front flip with a brakes-on takeoff as main and VTOL are engaged at full thrust triggering a red warning.  If so then a longer brakes-off takeoff must be executed.

These warnings combined would reduce build times by around 90%.
