Tutorial expansion
Okay so first off, I've played KSP for a while (2k+ hours) so most of the design process on this is very similar however yes the rotate and move options are kind of hidden and should really be covered in the tutorial.

As such FFS turn auto trim on by default (H key) to off as it makes trying to fly not knowing why the aircraft appears to have a mind of it's own near impossible and it's not even covered in the tutorial unless you dig through the "manual".

Even then the tutorial will need a massive expansion to explain the basics of flight characteristics and envelope. Please place the steering wheel in the first unlock group as pretty much every basic design uses it and without it someone who's never played and fully fresh has no hope of building something that can fly.

Can we have a tool that will show the aircraft flight envelope in an easy to read format ie:
Glide slope angle and stall speed would be truly useful and maybe engineer suggestions to bring a design into a balanced design without the need of a degree.

uhhhh steering wheel? Not sure what you're talking about.
I think parts rotation and offset are already unlocked at the very beginning?

I feel like I'm the only one not having any problem with auto trim whatsoever... but yes, an option would be good. Just don't make it so that I have to manually turn it on every time. That'll be painful.

A wheel that steers aka a "steering", wheel; used in all tricycle undercarriage setups be it a tail dragger or conventional tricycle.

As to the not having issues with auto trim, what are you flying? I started a new game in career mode, and I spent more time fighting the autotrim than flying, as it felt like a control input smoothing that would be added to gamepads and it was really starting to irritate me to the point where I started looking for a solution believing that the flight model can't possibly be this bad.
