Spaceplane/control surface related mod request/idea

[Othuyeg]

Hey,

I have been building some rather large spaceplanes lately. The problem I am having is not that big, but it is annoying me. It is the control surfaces. They keep flapping around when I am in space.

Do you think it would be possible to code an addon to allow turning off of aerodynamic control surfaces? Maybe add a button that will turn them all off or somehow allow them to be bound in an action group.

Ideas, feedback, modders possibly willing to give it a go?

I myself am abosolutely useless when it comes to the technical side of things.

FAR.

10char

NEAR

Also 10 char.

It is just that I do not really want the other stuff that comes with them. Mainly because I need the simplicity of using Mechjeb to do my multiple rocket launches that are required to maintain my orbital colony and FAR and NEAR do not really mix well with my massive rockets.

easy just go to action groups and make a toggle group or just when your in space disable them easy as that.

Without proper aerodynamics, the ability to tweak the control surfaces doesn't make sense. The way control surfaces move affects the shape of the plane which affects how it moves through the air, but in stock there is no air and craft shape is irrelevant.
