Calculator

[dubhorizon]

It would be nice to add a calculator on the SPH and VAB. As a way to calculate the center of gravity in cases of non symmetrical construction. Just an idea that came to my head while trying to figure out the weight in each side to avoid extra weight. My modding capabilities are limited to drag dropping mods to the game folder so yeah...... I am not sure about this but it should be pretty easy for someone who knows their coding and it's a simple calculator, shouldn't be an issue performance wise. But then again I don't know, what do you think?

If you click on the three little buttons below the angle snap/symmetry buttons, you can see the center of mass, lift, and thrust.

Have you had a look at FAR (http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/ferram-aerospace-research/)?

That mod includes a "Control & Analysis System" that opens in VAB/SPH to show all kinds of static and stability data (among others). Very detailed, even too much oriented to true aerospace engineers, requires some knowledge of the matter to be used properly. And this feature is not even advertised as it should!
