(suggestion & bug) thrust limiter sliders are not precise enough

[Justin Kerbice]

Hi,

I've tried to adjust thrust of some engine and it's very unfortunate that 25 and 50% value are inaccessible; I can only get 24.5 and 25.5 or 49.5 and 50.5 but not 25 or 50.

It would be great to have keys to adjust them precisely + snap to some standard values (multiple of 10 + 25, 50, 75).

I play windowed in 1280x960 resolution, this is with 0.23.5 version, and it is the same with 0.24.2.

Well... I think a difference between 24.5% and 25% is very unlikely to be needed often... or at all; I'm thinking this is to do with that "I get annoyed at odd numbers, all number must be divisible by 5 or I get really irritated!!" thing.

I do agree they need to be more precise though, but I want it because the thrust sliders don't let you choose between 0-5%, or 95-100% (though the latter is less useful); when doing tiny correction burns with a ship that only has a powerful engine, 5% can be too much, which is a pain!!

I believe this is an acknowledged bug. And it's not at all about being picky, as you don't want to set one engine to 50% while the other refuses to be anything but 49.5 or 50.5%.
