The count down. Pre-Flight Checklist

[K77LostNSpace]

Not sure about everyone else, but the count down till launch may seem trivial, but its still an immerse feature that KSP could benefit from in my opinion.

I could see this going two ways.

The initial space bar to fire rockets does a simple 3 second kerbal count down in the typical kerbal language, and presto you take off, or.. fall over and crash.

or

After loading the craft you get a ready to launch button that starts the count down like above. Unless the ready button is select the space bar does nothing. After the count down the player hits the space bar when ready to launch like normal, or hits it prematurely which cuts off the count down.

I could see the launch button have a pre-flight check list down down meun, Check staging, check struts. or maybe even display notes you can make for the ship in the SHB. I can't count how many times I've stops mid launch because I forgot something I could have made notes to check. or a launch procedure I forgot about on a rocket I built last month.

This feature would have no effect on game play whats so ever, but i could see it being a great immerse mod or addition to the game.
