Double-C Accelerometer Question

[Wijbrandus]

Looking at the Wiki, I see this line right off the bat on the Double-C Accelerometer: "Attached to the side of an ascent stage this environmental sensor can be used to control your acceleration during launch to provide a better and constant ascent, using less fuel for the same orbit."

Has anyone experimented with this yet? What results did you find?

That's not the text it has in the game. Nothing about acceleration control there..

[Wijbrandus]

I am hoping that the Wiki provides a more expanded definition of the product...

It's flavour text. The accelerometer lets you know what your acceleration is, is all. It has little use, given there's an acceleration gauge on the navball already.

It means you can look at the data it is giving out about acceleration, and use that as a guide for controlling your throttle for an efficient launch.
