Since this is aircraft related I felt that this is the most appropriate subreddit, so I posted it here

So I was thinking recently about making some very realistic aircraft replicas in KSP. With all the advanced features like IVAs, proper Electrical Systems with Capacitors in NFE, Ground Power Units, and weapons loading from ground vehicles using KAS or the default in flight editor (basically turning KSP into something like DCS)

Now I was thinking, what if we could use Action Groups Extended to control features such as Fuel Pumps (simulated by fuel flow breakers in Smart Parts), Battery switches (using an empty battery by default and capacitor discharge), etc. Considering Jongshh is working on an IVA editor, could it be possible to link IVA switches to the action groups added by action groups extended?

If any here has IVA modding experience then it'd be great if you could explain how exactly IVAs works.

Also even if you dont know how IVAs work, you can drop your opinion on the idea, or any suggestions.

I had a lot of fun building this.

Mods include but not restricted to : OPT, BD Armory, TCA

The engines are the size of my plane, and all my fragile parts are internalized.

Don’t mind the starter landing gear in the SPH, I upgraded to stow-away gear after I shared these pictures with a friend; you can see them stowed in the flying pics. These tiny wheels were scary to land on…

might have more luck in the plane-focused sub? got nobody posting theirs in main =w=

Bombs away Baby!

A few of my planes I've made recently. A vampire (terribly underpowered, need a modded juno) a Leduc 022 (had to take some liberties with the cockpit/aerospike) and an absolutely lovely f104

flying at about 8000 meters above sea level on kerbin, sadly air launched via cheats at 5000 meters since it bugs on the runway
