Custom props left to make

Issue #38 new
Christian Gerefalk created an issue
  • HUD: Both custom props with animations to slide the HUD in/out of view and turn it on/off and a custom HUD RPM page, stock RPM HUD isn't good enough.

  • Throttle

  • Atmospheric gauge

  • Compass

  • Speed readout

  • Translation joystick (RCS)

  • Navball

  • Missing non-interactive elements from indicator panel: high-g, heat, MACO, contact

Suggestions for more? Any I've forgotten?

    I've cleaned up a few things, sanitized indent, did initial balance on the HL torque and such, added crew report and experiment storage to the mk2 cabin.

    There was a missing closing bracket on MFD2 I added - I might suggest a text editor with auto-indent. NKell says NP++ in C/C++ mode indents cfgnode files correctly.

    As I noted in the S2 crew count issue, I need to know the approximate % of each crew cabin that is left to fuel tank so I can set the switcher up for that.

    I'm not sure there's anything applicable in the shuttle cockpit that a) is useful in ksp and b) can be hooked up, but you can probably find plenty of docs if you're serious about it :)

    Edit: here's one: a SAS light that shows the 'on, but not locked' state?

    Ah yeah that's a useful addition, wondering if I could add that to the current sas prop, I'd prefer to keep the toggling of something and it's status on the same prop if possible for ease of use and simplicity's sake.

    And yeah there are tons and tons of "props" inside real spacecraft, though I'd prefer to limit myself to actually useable and useful ones, and well if I made the S2's interior look like the shuttle 1:1 people wouldn't be able to find anything nor tell what's usable and what isn't. But you're right actual spacecraft and airplanes are a good reference source

    I'm considering some more analog plane gauges, like a turn coordinator:
