VAB & SPH CoM CoT CoL stage views

Hello,

In the VAB & SPH Centre of Mass, Centre of Thrust and, Centre of Lift buttons show yellow, purple and blue spheres and for CoT & CoL vectors as well for the overall design.

My suggestion is that you should be able to cycle through stages, so you don't have to disconect a heavy lifter when adding RCS thrusters to an upper stage(s).

Seems i do not understand something here.

Why do you have to disconnect the upper stage when you add RCS thrusters to it?

Something like this should be implemented. It's frustrating to have to disassemble my rockets so that I can see where the center of mass of the upper stage is. This would be especially useful if you have an asymmetrical payload.

If you want to position the thrusters optimally, then you need to know the center of mass during the stage in which they are used. Otherwise a lateral thrust will add some rotation to your movement.

He's not disconnecting the upper stage, he's disconnecting the lower stage(s).

You can always enable Fine Control, and have the RCS thrusters compensate on their own.
