Automatic thrust power adjustment or even smaller increment steps

[Ricardo79]

I know fine controls they are great. But something like the cars cruise control would be awesome.

For engines pointing down that should be a one click "hover" magic. It is like an on/off switch to hold the craft at the same height.

Or for jet like engines it could be a real cruise control. Not accelerating is the key here.

I tryed and failed many times tweaking my perfectly positioned engine to give less max thrust, or adding more weight to the craft, and using fine controls, to make the ship really hover.

It is always picking up speed vertically no matter how fine I try to adjust engine power.

As for precision... Eyeballing indicators for mass, thrust, lift is okay... but a precise WAB/SPH absolute coordinate related high precision indicator would be the best option for high precision needs.

Thank you in advance.

Wooops, Unfortunately I missplaced it. I'd wanted to create it on the suggestions department. If a moderator reads please move this thread out there. Thank you.

One (or more) of those might do what you need it to
