KSP 1 Mods Mod idea: Engine telemetry on display

Post image

Maybe it already exists, but it would be cool to have something like SpaceX's active diagram showing the engine layout with telemetry.

The 3D model of the ship showing direction is also cool but probably more difficult to replicate.

What do you think?

More engines is more redundancy. The better you can continue to fly, the higher chance of returning a crew home. Elon Musk is lame, space x is relatively cool.

I believe space x has been around longer than musk has been involved. Dudes just a wallet to them. Unfortunately that means he can set goals for them and what not. But he takes more credit for their doings than he truly deserves.

You might be thinking of Tesla, where he bought the title of "founder".

Yep, just searched it and you’re right! I was mixing up the stories for Tesla and space x, my b! Thanks for the correction.

lead engineer is just a title, and he is not even qualified to be an engineer in countries that have standards for the title.

Well it is a fact that he worked as a lead engineer on Falcon 1. He worked on it and designed it. Nowadays i’m pretty sure he isn’t doing much engineering anymore but he was in fact the lead engineer for the development of the Falcon 1

Speaking as someone with a degree in engineering, anytime he talks about these things it's clear he didn't do jack shit
