Real time part scaling

[LawnDartLeo]

I've made my own little repository of parts modded to suit for desired size parameters. How about the ability to do this on the fly within the SPH/VAB or a WYSIWYG external application that can be used to make a new part with the desired scale change along with appropriate scalar changes to other part parameters.

There was a part-factory application that did this, you could dial in whatever you wanted and the part would pop out for use in the game

Here is it, generator not factory [PGv2.3]

I was getting confused with fairing factory, so many mods about.

Mmmmmmm.... That's not what I meant. Think existing part input > new part output.

E.g.: I wanted a docking coupler to fit the largest cylindrical parts so I took the Clamp-o-tron Sr., made a new part folder, scaled it 125% and called it the Clamp-o-tron XL. Made it a little heavier, and such, too. Strangely, this method does not always work. parts look good in VAB but are screwy in game (original scale).

You don't need to make a new part folder, you can have multiple .cfg's inside one part folder

I've done this with a few things, copying the cfg and tweaking the rescaleFactor and other stats in the copy
