Optional Torque Trim

[guest91111]

One of the few irritating things in KSP is the Torque Trim being activated with alt-key, meanwhile physical time acceleration is also activated with the same alt-key, I think you should include an option to either turn off Torque Trim, or change the activation key for Torque Trim...

I believe the modifier key for trim can be changed. Someone else will need to verify but I believe that is so.

Well, yeah, but time warp and trim alteration keys are on opposite ends of the keyboard... I really honestly don't see why you want need to engage p-warp AND move craft in the same exact instant...

The problem is that it happens by accident. I've had a lot (a LOT) of times where my craft has started spinnning around because of an accidental trim adjustment, where I just wanted to go to physwarp.

[Captain Sierra]

Vexx, isn't there a zero trim key? I think there is. Wasmic, when I figure out what the zero trim key is, memorize it. It will become your best friend.

[sal_vager]

You can zero trim with the modifier key and X, so the default on Windows it's Alt+X, and on Linux it's Rightshift+X

[vexx32]

Damnit, Sal, I was even specifically asked. You just had to jump in.

Anyway, yeah, if you find you're often accidentally triggering trim, memorise that combination. I've not found it to be much of a problem myself, but then again I don't use physics warp a lot either, so who knows...

Believe me, if ships are big, you'll need to use P. time warp to turn it.

[vexx32]

If it's that big, I'd be using RCS, or have an extra set of reaction wheels.
