D'you guys have any mod wishes? Like, features you want in mods.

One thing which the game desperately needs is a way to view centre of mass/lift/thrust while in flight. I'd like for there to be less guesswork when balancing a spaceplane for landing.

Center of mass is what the camera's centered on.

I want that mod that added differential thrust to be finished.

[nogoodnames]

A realism mod which changes ISP scaling so it affects thrust rather than fuel consumption would probably be welcome. I don't think anyone's done that yet.

Thrust affects thrust.  Isp affects thrust-to-consumption ratio.

Is this not proper?  If Isp is just a thrust-to-weight ratio, it can be derived and does not need its own rating.

ISP affects thrust-to-consumption ratio, yes, but the point is that RL engines don't gain consumption for the same thrust when their ISP is changed by atmospheric pressure, they lose thrust, but still consume the same fuel.

Near Future Propulsion has implemented that change for its electric engines, but it rather breaks all existing atmospheric dV and TWR predictions by KER and MJ.

I'd like a mod that allows us to place some road (racetracks) or terrain (rover terrain testing) near the KSP.  Hopefully in a customizable way.  I spend quite a bit of time designing rovers and I've taken to trying to design some high speed jetcars reminicent of F-Zero.  A customizable place to properly test such things would be grand.

They're not customizable, but the Kerbin-Side mod adds a whole lot of, well, Kerbin-side facilities for you to do test runs on.

Not quite exactly that, I think, but there is this mod, the ISP Difficulty Scaler.

Me likey.  That will certainly spiffy things up.  Who knows I might be able to use it to refrence how to add structures of my own for potential of making my own buildings and roadways.

porting and rebalancing of pre-0.2 goonparts would be pretty fucking great thanks

[Putnam]

the only results for that on google is bay 12?

[LordSlowpoke]

mostly because the entire fansite that stuff has been hosted on is 404d by now but okay

here's good ol' bfe5000 instead

I'd like to have a bunch of miscellaneous kerbal-scale tools and stuff, like a freight container or KAS-ready jackhammer or maybe one of the carts that run around KCS. Then I could airdrop them or leave them around my moon base.

Y'know what I always wanted to do? Recreate the opening scene from Heavy Metal in KSP. The one where a space shuttle drops a car from orbit and this somehow works.
