... can mod my Keyboard, ot the space above my deskr to make the stage eject button look like this....

Switch-assembly.jpg

I want keys, safety toggles and big fricking LED's.... (*** may *** have just have ejected the landing clamps from my Munbase modules on the -deltaV into a 300km orbit, after 5 hours of docking, planning, refueling intercepting and transiting at 25% thrust so the thing did not shake itself apart....)

#clue... without the docking clamps... it does not deorbit so good :(

Failing that, any mods / protips to lock stage ejects?

F9 got recovered 50% of the disaster, still have to re-refuel a 250ton orbital cargo train :(

Alt-L locks staging. The space bar will be inactive until you press Alt-L again.

(Confusingly, this persists between launches. The first time you exit a flight with staging locked, you will spend a minute or two trying to figure out why your next ship won't launch. Even though you read this. I promise.)

OMG!, where were you 30 mins ago when I was ejecting docking clamps into space!!! Srsly, thx for the protip. Will put that to good use on the rerun tomorrow. Still liking the idea of a bank of stage switches bolted to the shelf above the PC... I might take a wander to Maplins tomorrow...

You can also remap staging to something else. I found it way to easy to accidentally hit space, so stage is now enter.

Also good.... I was trying to hit alt to pipe / assign fuel to tanks for an easier orbital burn, then bits started flying off... it was not good...

It doesn't have a keylock, but many of these can be custom made and LEDs are common on such devices.

There are a lot of places where you could get such thing done. I would recommend asking around at http://insidesimracing.tv/forums/ forums to find companies that could do it for a reasonable fee.

This explains why I always have to manually eject parachutes like a moron.

Get an arduino mega some LEDs switches and buttons then code it yourself :P

I could code it in BASIC ^_^ Thx BBC Master!

I might just take a look at Arduino.... I have readied a space on the desk to bolt it too... this may become a RL hardware mod project... Now, to refuel the Mun dropship, with safeties on and onward to the Mun and PROFIT!
